Near-side airbags
The near-side airbags are located in the front seats' outer backrest frames and help protect the driver and front seat passenger.
A collision of a sufficiently violent force will trigger the sensors and one or more near-side airbags will inflate. The side airbags inflate between the seat occupant and the door panel to help cushion the initial impact of the collision. The airbag deflates when compressed by the collision. The near-side airbag normally only inflates for the seat on the opposite side of the impact side.
Warning
Warning
Do not place any objects in the area between the outer edges of the seats and the door panels, as this could impair the function of the side airbags.
Polestar recommends only using Polestar-approved seat covers. Other seat covers could prevent the side airbags from functioning properly.
