Far-side airbags

The far-side airbags, on the driver's and passenger sides, protect the head, chest and hips in a collision.
PS-2007-Safety–Far-side airbag

The far-side airbags are located in the front seats' inner backrest frames and help protect the driver and front-seat passenger. AIRBAG is embossed on the seat.

A collision of a sufficiently violent force will trigger the sensors and one or more far-side airbags will inflate. The airbag inflates between the seat occupant and the tunnel console to help cushion the initial impact of the collision. The far-side airbag normally only inflates for the seat on the opposite side of the impact side.

 Warning

Contact Polestar Customer Support for repairs. Incorrectly performed repairs to the side airbag system could impair function and lead to serious injury.

 Warning

Do not place any objects in the area between the inner edges of the seats and the tunnel console, as this could impair the function of the side airbags.

Polestar recommends only using Polestar-approved seat covers. Other seat covers could prevent the side airbags from functioning properly.

 Warning

The side airbag is a supplement to the seat belt. Always wear your seat belt.
