Seat belts
Seat belt features
The seat belt locks itself to act as a safety restraint under certain conditions, such as sudden and forceful pulling of the belt, if the vehicle is driven aggressively and if the vehicle is on a steep incline.
The vehicle can dynamically adjust the tension of the driver's seat belt to alert the driver. The seat belt can also adjust as a safety precaution in a high-risk situation.
Built-in seat belt pretensioners can tighten the seat belts extremely quickly in response to a collision.
When installing certain child restraints1, several of the vehicle's seat belts can be set to only retract.
Seat belt reminder
The vehicle uses built-in sensors to detect if the driver or any of the passengers aren't using their seat belts. The system will alert the driver with a warning sound, and the seat belt reminder symbol will appear in the overhead console.

Warning
Seat belt care and maintenance
- Never modify or repair seat belts or related parts, such as fittings and hooks, yourself. Any service or replacement must be done by a trained technician with access to type-approved parts.4
- Contact Polestar Customer Service if the seat belt or a related part shows signs of damage or wear.
- Replace the seat belt if it has been subjected to a heavy load, such as in a collision. It may have lost protective properties even if there is no apparent damage.
- Clean the seat belt as soon as possible if anything is spilled onto it. The spilled substance can enter the mechanism and deteriorate the material.
