Starting and stopping preconditioning
Preconditioning heats or cools the passenger compartment, if possible, before driving. The function can be started in the center display or from a cellular phone.
Starting and stopping from the vehicle
Tap the symbol in the center of the climate bar to open Climate view in the center display.
Select the Parking climate tab.
Tap the boxes to select if seat/steering wheel heating should be activated along with preconditioning for each function.
Tap Start Pre-con. & Cleaning.
The preconditioning is started/switched off and the button is illuminated/extinguished.
Note
Preconditioning is only available when the car is connected to an electrical socket. A charging post that is not always active, for example because of a timer, can cause loss of function for preconditioning.
If the vehicle is not connected to an electrical socket it is still possible in a warm climate to achieve brief cooling of the passenger compartment by direct starting preconditioning.
Note
The vehicle doors and windows should be closed during preconditioning of the passenger compartment.
Note
Precleaning* starts automatically when preconditioning is completed.
Starting from app
A device with the Polestar 1 app can be used to start preconditioning and check settings. Preconditioning heats or cools the passenger compartment (using the vehicle's air conditioning system) to the comfort temperature.
The passenger compartment can also be preconditioned using the Engine Remote Start (ERS)1 function using the Polestar 1 app.
