When the bonnet is released, a warning symbol and graphics in the driver display will light up and an acoustic reminder will sound. If the car starts rolling, an acoustic warning signal will repeat.

 Note

If the warning symbol is illuminated or you hear the warning symbol even though the bonnet is closed properly – contact Polestar Customer Support.

Close the bonnet

Push the bonnet down until it starts to fall from its own weight.
When the bonnet stops against the lock catch, push the bonnet to close it completely.

 Warning

Risk of crushing! Ensure that the closing path under the bonnet is not obstructed, otherwise there is a risk of personal injury.

 Warning

Check that the bonnet locks properly when closed. The bonnet must engage at both sides audibly.
