Remote heater start with the Polestar 1 app
The heater can be started remotely using the Polestar 1 app so that the vehicle is heated at a selected time.
When the heater is started remotely, the vehicle's parking heater is used to heat the vehicle. You can either choose to specify when you want to leave so that the heater is started automatically depending on the outside temperature surrounding the vehicle, or you can choose to start the heater right away. If the heater is not allowed to start (e.g. due to low fuel level), this will be shown in the Polestar 1 app.
Conditions for remote start of the heater
The heater only starts under the following conditions:
- The outdoor temperature surrounding the vehicle is below 15 °C (59 °F).
- The vehicle has enough fuel.
- The vehicle has enough battery charge.
- The vehicle has cell coverage (i.e. it can receive the heater's start command).
Instant start/instant stop of heater

At instant start, the heater runs for 50 minutes or until it is shut-off.
Programming the heater
You can pre-program the heater to start at up to eight different set times:
Go to the home tab.
Select Parking heater.
Set the Timer for the times you want the vehicle to be heated.
Based on the outside temperature, the vehicle will calculate when the heater needs to be switched on for the vehicle to be warmed up at the selected time.
