Symbols and messages for electronic stability control
A number of symbols and messages regarding electronic stability control (ESC1) can be shown on the driver display. Here are some examples.
| Symbol | Message | Specification |
|---|---|---|
 | Constant glow for approx. 2 seconds | System check upon start-up of car. |
| Flashing light | The system is being activated. |
 | Constant glow | Sport mode is selected. NOTE: The system is not deactivated in this mode — it is partly reduced. |
| – | Traction control temporarily off | The system has been temporarily reduced due to excessive brake temperature - the function is reactivated automatically when the brakes have cooled. |
| ESC Service required | The system is disengaged. Stop the car at a safe place. Check whether the fault was temporary or if it persists by: exiting the car, locking the car, unlocking and re-entering. If the problem persists, contact Polestar Customer Support. The car can be driven but without the ESC functionality. |
A text message can be cleared by briefly pressing the 
button, located in the centre of the steering wheel's right-hand keypad.
If a message is still shown, contact Polestar Customer Support.
