Distance-capable keys
Key fobs are distance-capable, meaning your car can detect them when you approach or leave it. This allows for automatic locking and unlocking.
Go to settings to select your preferences and to turn automatic locking and unlocking on or off.
Note
Your distance-capable keys also have NFC1 functionality. This means that even if a distance-capable key has a low or discharged battery, you can still use it in the same way as a key card.
Exterior key reader
You can lock and unlock the car by placing any of your keys on the driver-side wing mirror.
Make sure the card or device is laid flat against the reader.
Interior key reader
You can place your key card or a discharged distance-capable key on the key reader below the centre display to get driving access.
Make sure you place your key in the middle of the key reader. If you're using a key fob that has run out of battery, place it with the Polestar logo facing up.
Note
The key reader and wireless charger are located in the same place. You can only use one of the functions at a time.
