Rear-view mirror

The rear-view mirror is a display that helps you to see what's happening behind you.

The rear-view mirror has two modes, which are camera display mode and mirror mode. Camera display mode shows the view from the rear of your car whereas mirror mode lets you see the back seats. You can switch between the two modes by using the mode control switch on the bottom of the mirror.

Rear-view mirror and camera locations

Location of the rear-view mirror

The rear-view mirror is located above the centre display.

Location of the rear-view camera

The camera for the rear-view mirror is located on the upper part of the boot hatch.

Camera display mode

When the mirror is in camera display mode, it displays the view from the camera located on the boot hatch. This lets you see what's going on behind the car as you drive. When the camera display mode is active, you will see the camera symbol in the rear-view mirror.

When using the direction indicators, the camera view automatically adjusts to the corresponding side when you activate an indicator. This is to help you see more clearly and reduce blind spots.

Mirror mode

Mirror mode allows the rear-view mirror display to work as a normal mirror and gives you a view of the rear seats. When mirror mode is active, you won't be able to see anything behind the car.

 Important

Driver responsibility

Rearward visibility and driving awareness are essential for your safety and the safety of others.

Make sure you adjust any camera display mode settings before driving. Always avoid distractions and performing other operations while driving.

The camera display mode is intended as a visual aid and does not replace the need for driver responsibility. When the rear-view mirror is in camera display mode, make sure to:
  • be aware that the camera has a limited field of view.
  • be careful when judging the distances to objects.
  • wear any prescribed glasses or contact lenses if you need to wear them when driving. The camera display mode cannot compensate for visual impairments.

Care and maintenance

Keep the camera clean and clear from obstructions and dirt. The areas around the camera and other relevant sensors must be cleaned regularly and kept free from labels, objects, dirt and other kinds of potential obstructions. Failure to do so may result in functions giving incorrect responses, being less effective or being deactivated.

Do not scrape or use any abrasive cleaning agent on the rear-view mirror or its buttons. This can damage the display's surface and electronic components.

If necessary, contact Polestar Customer Support for advice on cleaning or maintenance.
