Polestar Connect availability
- To save battery power, the Polestar Connect system is programmed to shut down when the vehicle is not used for extended periods of time.|
- Polestar Connect is fully available for 5 days and is then disabled to save the battery. The system resumes full availability once the vehicle has been started.
- The system’s services only work in areas in which Polestar Connect‘s partners have cellular coverage and where the technology allows.
- Just as with cellular phones, atmospheric disturbances or areas with fewer transmitters, e.g. sparsely populated rural areas, can make connection impossible.
This Polestar is equipped with the Polestar Connect service. This means that no extra subscription is required for it to work. The intention is that the service will be active as long as the vehicle is used and the technology and cellular phone network allow. Polestar reserves the right to reduce the service when it is no longer practically possible to maintain full functionality. If the vehicle has not been used for more than a year, it is considered to be no longer in use.
