Interior side airbags

The interior side airbags on the driver's and passenger seats act to protect the head, chest and hips in the event of a collision.
PS-2007-Safety–Far-side airbag

The interior side airbags are fitted in the inner backrest frames of the front seats and help to protect the driver and passengers in the front seat. The seat is marked AIRBAG.

A sufficiently violent collision trips the sensors and the interior side airbags are inflated. The airbag inflates between the occupant and the tunnel console and thereby cushions the initial impact. The interior side airbag is normally inflated only for the seat on the opposite side to the collision.

 Warning

Contact Polestar Customer Support for repairs. Defective work in the side airbag system could cause malfunction and result in serious personal injury.

 Warning

Do not put objects in the area between the inside of the seat and the tunnel console, since this area is required by the side airbag.

Polestar recommends the use only of car seat covers approved by Polestar. Other seat covers may impede the operation of the side airbags.

 Warning

Side airbags are a supplement the seatbelts. Always use a seatbelt.

Side airbags and child seats

The protection provided by the car to children seated in a child seat or on a booster cushion is not diminished by the side airbag.
