Manual

Polestar is continuously developing the systems in the cars and the services offered to you. Software updates in your car can give you access to many new features and improvements. The car's software can be updated to the latest version over the air (OTA) or in connection with a service at an authorised Polestar workshop. You will be informed in the centre display when new software is available as an over-the-air (OTA) update. Go to the app view, then press the "Settings" icon, "System" and "Software updates" to see the current software version.

 Note

  • Functionality after updating may vary depending on market, model year and options.
  • Some updates are available at workshops before they are available over the air (OTA).
  • Previously released updates are also included when updating to the latest version.

Once a software update is available, you will find it here along with any previous updates.

  • Power-operated soft close tailgate with foot sensor operation improved to allow the tailgate to trigger after first button press or foot kick
  • Alarm sensor logic changed so the alarm sensor does not flash during driving.
