Locking and unlocking with the detachable key blade
The removable key blade can be used to unlock the car from the outside – if there is no power to your car or the key battery is discharged, for example.
Unlocking
The alarm is triggered when the car is unlocked with the key blade.
Pull out the front door handle on the left-hand side to its end position so that the lock cylinder become visible.
Insert the key in the lock cylinder.
Turn clockwise 45 degrees so that the key blade is pointing straight back.
Turn the key back 45 degrees to its starting position. Remove the key from the lock cylinder and release the handle so that the rear section of the handle is resting against the car again.
Pull out the handle.
The door opens.
Note
When the door is unlocked using the key blade and is then opened, the alarm is triggered.
Locking
The doors have a lock switch at the end which must be depressed using the key blade – these are then mechanically locked/blocked to prevent them being opened from outside.
The doors can still be opened from the inside.
Remove the detachable key blade from the key. Insert the key blade in the hole for lock reset and press the key in until it bottoms, approx. 12 mm (0.5 inches).
 | The door can be opened from both the outside and the inside. |
 | The door is blocked against opening from the outside. To return to position A, the inner door handle must be opened. |
Note
- A door's lock reset only locks that particular door - not all doors simultaneously.
- A manually locked rear door with child lock activated cannot be opened from inside or outside. The door can be unlocked with the key's buttons, central locking button, or the Polestar app.
