Audio and media overview
The functions can be controlled using voice commands, the steering wheel keypad or the center display.
System updates
The audio and media system is continuously improved. System updates should be downloaded as soon as new updates are available.
Connection and entertainment
This is Sensus
Sensus provides an intelligent interface and Internet connection to the digital world. An intuitive navigation structure offers access to relevant assistance, information and entertainment when it is needed, without distracting the driver.
Sensus includes all of the solutions in the vehicle related to entertainment, Internet connection and navigation, and serves as the user interface between the driver and the vehicle. Sensus is what makes communication between you, the vehicle and the world around you possible.
Information when it’s needed, where it’s needed
The vehicle’s displays present the right information at the right time. Information is presented in different displays depending on how it should be prioritized by the driver.
Different types of information are shown in different displays depending on how the information should be prioritized.
Head-up-display
The head-up display presents information that the driver should react to immediately. For example, traffic warnings, speed information and navigation messages. Road sign information and incoming phone calls are also shown in the head-up display. These can be handled using the right-side steering wheel keypad or the center display.
Instrument panel
The instrument panel displays information such as speed, incoming phone calls or the track currently playing. It is controlled using the steering wheel keypads.
Center display
Many of the vehicle’s main functions are controlled from the center display, a touchscreen that reacts to taps and other gestures. This minimizes the number of physical buttons and controls needed in the vehicle.
The screen can also be operated while wearing gloves.
The center display is used to control e.g. the climate and entertainment systems and to adjust the power seats. The information presented in the center display can be handled by the driver or by someone else in the vehicle.
Voice control system
The voice control system enables the driver to control certain vehicle functions without taking their hands off the wheel. The system can understand natural speech. Use voice control to e.g. play a song, make a phone call, increase the temperature in the passenger compartment or have a text message read aloud.

Sound Experience
Sound Experience is opened from the center display’s App view and the following settings are possible:
Premium Sound (Bowers & Wilkins)
- Studio– sound settings can be adjusted to be primarily adapted for Driver, Alland Rear.
- Individual stage – surround sound mode with settings for intensity and enclosure.
- Concert hall – reproduces the acoustics of Gothenburg’s Concert Hall
Recreate the acoustics from the Gothenburg Concert Hall.
Sound settings
The system’s volume is normally adjusted using the volume control below the center display or the right-side steering wheel keypad. This applies, for example, when playing music or the radio or during phone calls and active traffic messages.
For some phones, the Bluetooth volume on the phone must be manually set to 100% in order for the audio volume in the vehicle to be high enough. This setting needs to be made for each phone that is connected. The setting is adjusted separately for phone calls and media streaming. The system will then remember the setting and it will not need to be repeated the next time the phone is connected.
Sound reproduction
The audio system is precalibrated using digital signal processing. This calibration takes into account speakers, amplifiers, passenger compartment acoustics, listener location, etc. There is also a dynamic calibration that takes into account the volume control’s position and the vehicle’s speed.
Personal settings
Different settings are available in Top view under .
Premium Sound (Bowers & Wilkins)
- Tone – setting for e.g. bass, treble, equalizer, etc.
- Balance – balance between right/left and front/rear speakers.
- System Volumes– adjusts volume in the various systems of the car, e.g. Voice Control, Park Assistand Phone Ringtone.
Terms and Conditions for Services
These services comprise everything from assistance in emergencies to navigation and various maintenance services.
Before using the services, it is important to read the Terms and Conditions for the services at polestar.com/manual.
Tips for handling Internet connection problems
- If the clock has been reset, e.g. after the current to the battery has been cut in the event of a service visit, you must reset the clock before you can connect the vehicle to the Internet.
- Certain phones switch off Internet sharing after contact with the vehicle has been broken, for example if the phone that shares the Wi-Fi network is removed from the vehicle. To reconnect to the Internet, activate tethering (portable/personal hotspot) in the phone.
- If the Internet connection via vehicle modem (P-SIM) is lost, the vehicle will automatically attempt to reconnect to the Internet.
