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.
- The instrument panel shows information about speed, road sign information, warning and indicator symbols, battery status, etc. The instrument panel can also show incoming calls or information about the current song on the radio. It is controlled using the steering wheel keypads.
- Many of the vehicle’s main functions are controlled from the center display, such as the climate control system, the entertainment system and seat settings. The center display also shows navigation and road sign information. The information presented in the center display can be handled by the driver or by someone else in the vehicle.
Wearing gloves can limit or prevent touchscreen response.
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 commands to e.g. play a song, make a phone call, increase the temperature in the passenger compartment or have a text message read aloud.
Environmental efficiency
Optimized powertrain
Polestar has a powertrain that is specifically designed to minimize pollutants and maximize efficiency. These powertrains have been optimized to be more efficient and pollute less.
Better environment, both inside and out
Polestar’s environmental commitment also extends to the inside of the vehicle, which is cleaned by the climate control system. An air cleaner in the air intake that stops pollen and dust, along with the air cleaning system in the vehicle, is called the Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) at Polestar. It also cleans hydrocarbons, ground-level ozone, and nitrogen oxides from the air in the vehicle’s interior. The materials used in the interior have been selected for their durability and sustainability and have been tested to ensure that they do not emit any strong odors or other contaminants.
Cooperation for a cleaner future
All Polestar vehicles meet strict international environmental requirements, as do our manufacturing facilities (which are ISO 14001-certified) and all Polestar partners and employees. This ensures that environmental laws and regulations are met, while also guaranteeing continuous improvements.
