Instrument panel

The instrument panel shows notifications and information related to your driving and the vehicle itself.
Instrument panel location

The instrument panel is located in front of the driver, behind the steering wheel. Its position changes along with the steering wheel when you adjust it to your preferred driving posture.

Use the steering wheel buttons to interact with the display and control what's shown on the screen.

Examples of information that can be shown in the instrument panel are:
  • Warning and indicator symbols
  • Speed
  • Navigation
  • Notification messages
  • Battery meter
  • Power meter

Display modes

There are three instrument panel modes that you can choose from: calm, surround and map. Use the buttons on the steering wheel to change the display mode.
CalmThis displays essential information, such as speed, battery level and range, as well as warning and indicator symbols.
MapThe instrument panel shows your current navigation route on a map, as well as essential driving and vehicle information.
SurroundIn this mode, you will see a depiction of the vehicle and its position on the road. The same essential information as calm mode is also displayed.

 Important

Using surround mode

Surround mode cannot perfectly depict what is really happening on the road around you, so do not rely on it when you are driving.

 Warning

If the instrument panel turns off, doesn't turn on or is only partially legible, you must not use the vehicle. This is because the driver will not receive warnings and vehicle status information shown in the instrument panel, such as warnings and information relating to brakes, airbags or other safety systems. If there is an issue with the instrument panel, contact Polestar Customer Support.

 Important

Clear space around the instrument panel

Do not hang or place any objects on the steering column in front of or behind the instrument panel. You risk damaging the instrument panel if an object is placed there when the steering wheel position changes.

 Tip

You can change the instrument panel settings in the center display.
