Starting the vehicle
To start the vehicle, a key or a phone with Digital Key* must be in the vehicle.

Before starting:
- Buckle your seat belt.
- Adjust the seat, steering wheel and mirrors.

Make sure the key is in the vehicle.
Buckle your seat belt.
Depress the brake pedal.
Move the gear selector to D or R.
The vehicle is now in drive mode.
Release the brake pedal.
If creep mode is activated, the vehicle will move slowly in the selected direction. If auto-hold brakes are activated, the accelerator pedal needs to be pressed down for the vehicle to move in the selected direction.
If creep mode is deactivated, the vehicle will not move forward.
Warning
- Never use more than one inlay mat at a time on the driver's floor. If any other type of floor mat is used, remove the original mat from the driver's seat floor before driving. All types of mats must be securely anchored in the attachment points in the floor. Make sure the floor mat does not impede the movement of the brake pedal or accelerator pedal in any way, as this could be a serious safety hazard.
- Polestar's floor mats are specially manufactured for your vehicle. They must be properly secured in the attachment points in the floor to help ensure they cannot slide and become trapped under the pedals.
Important
The vehicle cannot be started if the charging cable is plugged in. Make sure that the charging cable is unplugged from the charging socket before attempting to start the vehicle.
