Driver support

Driving support systems

The car is equipped with different driver support systems which can assist the driver in different situations, either actively or passively.

Driver support safety check when starting

A safety check of the car's driver support system is shown in the driver display when you start the car after it has been completely shut down. This check shows which driver support is available in the car and whether these systems are ready to be used.

Warnings from various driver support systems

If you find that your car operates in a way that you had not expected, this may be because one of the car's safety-related functions has been activated.

Speed-dependent steering force

Speed related power steering causes the steering wheel force to increase with the speed of the car so as to be able to give the driver enhanced sensitivity.

Drive modes when using time interval to vehicles

The driver can select different driving styles for how driver support should maintain the preset time interval to the vehicle ahead.

IntelliSafe – driver support and safety

IntelliSafe is the Polestar concept for car safety. IntelliSafe comprises a number of systems, whose purpose is to make a car journey safer, to prevent injuries and to protect passengers and other road users.

Auto braking after a collision

In the event of a collision in which the activation level is reached for the pyrotechnic seatbelt tensioners or airbags, or if a collision with a large animal is detected, the car's brakes are automatically applied. This function is to prevent or reduce the effects of any subsequent collision.
