Road sign information

The vehicle can identify and display road signs as you pass them. This allows you to keep track of the speed limit.

The signs shown in the instrument panel come from real-world signs identified by cameras. The vehicle can only show signs that are part of the vehicle's sign library.

How signs are shown

Detected road signs appear next to the speedometer in the instrument panel. Different signs are shown in different areas.

Symbol availability

Road signs available to display in your vehicle can change over time and vary between regions. The selection presented in this manual may not include every sign that can appear in your vehicle's display.

Symbol design

Road sign styles vary between regions. The symbol style displayed by the vehicle will not exactly match the symbol style on signs you encounter. If you have any issues interpreting a displayed sign after reviewing the information in this manual, contact a Polestar Authorized Service Point.

Road sign display times

The sign display time typically depends on the type of sign and whether you pass additional signs. Road signs can be shown in the following ways:
  • Briefly as one-time alerts after passing a sign.
  • Until the sign no longer applies.
  • Until you pass another sign with higher display priority.

 Note

Lingering signs

The vehicle might fail to identify a sign indicating the end of a traffic limitation. If this happens, a symbol for the previous limitation may linger in the instrument panel. It will eventually be replaced or canceled. In the meantime, drive according to the applicable rules of the road.

Driver responsibility and road signs

Road sign information is designed to help you manage information while driving. It is a supplement to safe driving practices. The driver is fully responsible for remaining attentive, keeping track of road signs and following local regulations. Do not prioritize the vehicle's road sign detection over your own observations if they conflict.

Why all signs are not shown

The vehicle cannot detect and show every sign that is relevant to the driver.
  • The system does not support all signs.
  • Signs may go undetected in certain conditions and traffic situations.
Conditions that affect road sign detection or identification:
  • The vehicle's forward-facing camera must be clean and free of obstructions.
  • The road sign must be clearly visible and properly illuminated.
  • The road sign must be within a certain distance of the vehicle and within the camera's field of view.
  • The vehicle may not be able to identify misaligned road signs, such as signs placed too high or at an angle.
  • The vehicle may not be able to identify damaged or worn road signs.
