2022 Polestar 2 Cruise control

Cruise control

Cruise Control (CC)(Cruise Control) can help the driver maintain an even speed to provide a more relaxing driving experience on highways and long, straight roads with even traffic flows.

Using motor braking instead of applying the brakes

Cruise Control regulates speed by lightly applying the brakes. On downgrades, it can sometimes be desirable to roll a bit faster and let speed be reduced instead by motor braking alone. The driver can temporarily disengage the Cruise Control braking function.

To disengage CC:

  • Press the accelerator pedal about halfway down and then release it.

> Cruise Control will automatically disengage the automatic brake function and speed will only be reduced using the motor braking function.

WARNING
  • The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate driving and help make it safer – it cannot handle all situations in all traffic, weather and road conditions.
  • The driver is advised to read all sections in the Manual about this function to learn of its limitations, which the driver must be aware of before using the function.
  • Driver support functions are not a substitute for the driver’s attention and judgment. The driver is always responsible for ensuring the vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at the appropriate speed, with an appropriate distance from other vehicles, and in accordance with current traffic rules and regulations.

Cruise control standby mode

Cruise control (CC)(Cruise Control) can be deactivated and put in standby mode. This can take place automatically or be due to driver intervention.

Standby mode means that the function is selected in the center display but not activated. The symbol in the instrument panel is extinguished and cruise control is not regulating speed.

Standby mode due to action by the driver

Cruise control will be deactivated and put in standby mode if any of the following occurs:

  • The brakes are applied.
  • The gear selector is moved to N.
  • The vehicle is driven faster than the set speed for more than 1 minute.

The driver must then control the vehicle’s speed.

Temporarily increasing speed using the accelerator pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, will not affect the setting. The vehicle will return to the set speed when the accelerator pedal is released.

Automatic standby mode

Adaptive Cruise Control may go into standby mode if e.g.:

  • The wheels lose traction.
  • The motor speed (rpm) is too low/high.
  • The temperature in the brake system becomes too high.
  • The vehicle’s speed goes below 30 km/h (20 mph).

The driver must then control the vehicle’s speed.

Setting stored speed for speed-controlling functions

It is possible to adjust set speeds for the cruise control, Adaptive Cruise Control* and Pilot Assist* functions.
2022-Polestar-2-Cruise-control-1
2022-Polestar-2-Cruise-Control-functions-17: Increases the set speed
2022-Polestar-2-Cruise-Control-functions-14: Reduces the set speed
Set speed
  • Change a set speed by pressing the 2022-Polestar-2-Cruise-Control-functions-17 (1) or 2022-Polestar-2-Cruise-Control-functions-14 (2) buttons briefly or by pressing and holding them:

    • Brief press: Each press changes the speed in +/- 5 km/h (+/- 5 mph) increments.
    • Press and hold: Release the button when the set speed indicator (3) has moved to the desired speed.

> The most recently set speed will be stored.

NOTE

For vehicles without Adaptive Cruise Control*, speed instead increases by +/- 1 km/h (+/- 1 mph) each time the button is pressed.

Using the accelerator pedalIf speed is increased by depressing the accelerator pedal while pressing the 2022-Polestar-2-Cruise-Control-functions-17 (1) button on the steering wheel, the vehicle’s speed when the button is pressed will be stored as the set speed.

Temporarily increasing speed using the accelerator pedal, e.g. when passing another vehicle, will not affect the setting. The vehicle will return to the set speed when the accelerator pedal is released.

Possible speedThe lowest speed that can be set is 30 km/h (20 mph). When following another vehicle, ACC can monitor that vehicle’s speed and slow your own vehicle down to a standstill, but it is not possible to set speeds lower than 30 km/h (20 mph).

The driver support functions can follow another vehicle at speeds from a standstill up to 200 km/h (125 mph).

Pilot Assist can provide steering assistance from near-stationary speeds up to 140 km/h (87 mph).
