2022 Polestar Climate controls for the passenger compartment
Activating and deactivating air conditioning
When the air conditioning is activated, it will be switched on and off automatically by the climate system as needed.
- Open Climate view in the center display by swiping upwards in Home view.
- Tap the air conditioning button.
> The air conditioning is activated/deactivated, which is indicated by a symbol at the bottom of the display in the climate bar.
For optimum function of the air conditioning, close all side windows.
The air conditioning cannot be activated when the fan speed is set to Off.
Activating and deactivating recirculation
- Open Climate view in the center display by swiping upwards in Home view.
- Tap the button for air recirculation.
> The air circulation is activated/deactivated and the button lights up/goes out.
If the air in the vehicle is recirculated too long, there is a risk of fogging on the inside of the windows.
Recirculation cannot be activated when the max defroster is on.
If the system’s air quality sensors detect contaminants in the outside air, the air intake closes and air circulation activates automatically.
Activating and deactivating the recirculation timer setting
When the recirculation timer is activated, air recirculation will switch off automatically after 20 minutes.
- Open Climate view in the center display by swiping upwards in Home view.
- Tap Settings in the Climate view.
- Tap the desired setting under Recirculation timer to activate/deactivate the recirculation timer.
Activating auto climate control
- Open Climate view in the center display by swiping upwards in Home view.
- Tap or press and hold AUTO.
- Tap – air recirculation, air conditioning and air distribution are controlled automatically.
- Press and hold – air recirculation, air conditioning and air distribution are controlled automatically. Temperature and blower speed are changed to standard settings: 22 °C (72 °F) and speed 3.
> Auto climate mode is activated and the button lights up.
It is possible to change the temperature and blower speed without deactivating automatic climate control. Automatic climate control is deactivated when the air distribution is changed manually or when the max defroster is activated.
Adjusting air distribution
- Open Climate view in the center display by swiping upwards in Home view.
-
The air distribution buttons in Climate view are located in the center around the AUTO button, from the top down:
- Air distribution – windshield defrost vents
- Air distribution – dashboard and center console air vents
- Air distribution – floor air vents
Tap one or more air distribution buttons to open/close the airflow for that vent.
> The air distribution changes and the buttons will light up or go out.
> If all air distribution buttons are deselected in manual mode, the climate control system will revert to automatic mode.
Setting the blower speed for the front seats
- Open Climate view in the center display by swiping upwards in Home view.
- Tap the desired blower speed: OFF, 1–5or MAX.
> The blower speed will be changed and the set speed will light up.
The air conditioning will not engage if the blower is turned off completely, which may cause fogging on the inside of the windows.
The climate system automatically adapts airflow as needed within the set blower speed, which means that airflow speed may vary slightly within the same blower speed.
Setting the temperature for the front seats
-
Tap the temperature button in the middle of the climate bar in the center display to open the control.
- Drag the control to the desired temperature.
> The temperature will be set and the button will display the new temperature.
Heating/cooling cannot be accelerated by choosing a higher/lower temperature than the desired temperature.
Synchronize temperature
Deactivating synchronization of temperature
- Tap the temperature button in the middle of the climate bar in the center display to open the control.
- Tap the synchronization button above the temperature control.
> The temperature can now be set separately for the individual climate zones. The set temperature is now shown separately on the driver’s and passenger’s sides in the climate bar instead of only in the middle.
Reset synchronized temperature
- Tap the driver’s or passenger side temperature button in the center display’s climate bar to open the control.
- Tap the synchronization button above the temperature control.
> The temperature for all zones in the vehicle is synchronized with the set temperature on the driver’s side.
