The safety section describes features designed to reduce the risk of serious injury in the event of a collision. The safety features include seat belts, airbags, child restraints and other components or functions that can help save lives when used correctly.
Your vehicle is designed to promote and provide the conditions for safe use. Safety features never replace the need for safe user practice. This not only applies to features directly related to safety but also to the rest of your vehicle. It's your responsibility to use the vehicle's functions safely.
Warning
Safety synergy
The safety features are designed to work together to increase the safety of all occupants in the vehicle. No feature replaces the need for another unless the manual explicitly states so. For example, the presence of airbags in no way reduces the need to wear a seat belt.
SRS warning
Sensors in the vehicle can detect if there is something wrong with the airbags or related safety systems. A red warning symbol will appear in the instrument panel to alert you if any faults are found.
If the red SRS warning symbol appears in the instrument panel, immediately contact Polestar Customer Support.
Note
Startup checks
Several safety systems are part of the vehicle's startup check. During the check, the yellow SRS symbol may appear in the instrument panel. This is completely normal and means that the safety systems are starting up and checking for potential issues. Make sure you address any indicated faults.
Safety-related areas
Some driver support functions are related to safety. Instead of keeping you safe in the event of an accident, they are designed to prevent them in the first place. Get to know these functions as well for a safer trip.
