Connected Safety
Connected Safety communicates information between your own car and other vehicles via the Internet. The function is intended to make a driver aware that there may be a potentially dangerous traffic situation further ahead on the same road.
Apps
The app view contains applications (apps) that give access to certain of the car's services.
User terms and conditions and data sharing
The first time certain services and apps are started, a pop-up window with the headings Terms and conditions and Data sharing may be shown.
Activating and deactivating data sharing
Data sharing for services and apps required can be set in the centre display's settings menu.
Data sharing for Polestar Connect
Data sharing for the Polestar Connect service is activated by default. This means you do not need to activate data sharing for the service yourself when you buy a new car or after a factory reset, for example.
Data sharing for driver profile
When you start using a new driver profile, the data sharing settings for the profile will be set to the car's default settings and be deactivated.
Data sharing for services
If you have not activated data sharing for an online service or downloaded apps, this can be done when you start them in your centre display. The first time you start a service, or after e.g. a factory reset or certain software updates, you must also accept Polestar's terms and conditions for connected services.
Polestar ID
Polestar ID is a personal ID that gives access to various services via a single username and password.
Creating a Polestar ID
It is possible to create a Polestar ID in different ways.
Real Time Traffic Information
When the car is connected to the Internet, the driver can access extended traffic information (RTTI) concerning congestion, closed roads and anything else that may affect the travelling time.
Polestar Connect
