Thanks for the reminder about the Tow mode

 

😊😊

 

Very nice to have, the only thing I would say is does the 1800 number work in all countries? Maybe region-specific numbers would be good to have?

 

Yes - in fact when I needed service once, I called the Canadian 24/7 number from the Polestar site and it was wrong! That is actually what prompted me to create this document in the first place. I am hesitant to include other phone numbers without being able to validate them. Does anyone have a reliable source for this information?

 

Moderators: Perhaps this should be pinned?

 

Fantastic!!
Thank you!!

 

Thank you!

 

A “tips” guide would be great too. The quirkiest thing I’ve discovered on my 2 is that once in cruise control mode, tapping up/down increases/decreases speed by 5 mph increments and holding up/down increases/decreases speed by 1 mph increments. Should be the opposite imo. 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

the cruise control kills me as well!

 

Nice guide. That is really helpful.

For the silence car alarm section I would update the wording to suggest putting the keys (should be the main keyfob and not the activity key) in the cupholder under the central arm rest. The rear cupholders and people might think to put the keys in the cupholders for the rear passengers which would not do anything.

Ah, good point. That was my pull request - I'll go make another if he hasn't already fixed it.

Edit: and he's on the ball - already fixed!

 

What do you mean by "silent car alarm"? Is that like a secret security system in case of a break in?

 

It means to silence the car alarm if it goes off, which is usually due to a TCAM failure and it not recognising your keyfob as a remote, and you having to get in via the concealed metal key in the fob.

Also worth noting that when putting the key fob in the box between the front seats, you must push it right to the back at the bottom, having removed everything including inserts first. In particular any metal items (coins etc) may well stop it being detected. Had this happen to me, it's not fun!

 

Thank you.

 

Having the TCAM reset procedure in there might be good.

 

also this has some very good info

i was thinking about this and the fact that in many countries first responders are still not used to manage electric vehicles
then i was wandering on etsy and saw this:

Polestar Carta di soccorso digitale tramite codice QR - Etsy Italia

Il modo rapido per ottenere la tua tessera di salvataggio Una carta di soccorso è uno strumento importante per salvare in modo efficiente le persone dal proprio veicolo in caso di incidente stradale. Questa mappa elenca i componenti critici di ciascun veicolo, inclusi airbag, pretensionatori delle

www.etsy.com

and i think it's a pretty good idea.
but why couldn't we have something standard?
like a sticker to have on the inside of rear window, like here:

which is a place that never goes inside the door anyway with a QR code and link the the first responder guide?
we can have it here on this server or, even better, we could send a message to Polestar and have them host the link on their server with an always updated guide if they think it could be useful.

something like this maybe?

am i sayin' something stupid?

 

I've been collecting some Polestar emergency info into a single document that I print to have on hand in case of an emergency. I thought I would post it here in case it's useful to someone else. Happy to incorporate any other info if desired. (I print it out 4 pages to a sheet of paper so it all fits on one sheet.)

Put the vehicle's electrical system in Passive usage mode. What is Passive usage mode?

The picture of the fuse box location was useless (like most pictures in the online owner manual. If I didn't go online and discover that it was somewhere under the glovebox, I'd have no idea where to look.

 

@MoonThunder if you're still around, it might be worth putting in the contents of this document, which describes the manual charge cable release on pre-MY24 models that didn't have the pull-tag in the boot (despite the manual saying it did)...

Done.

 

Many thanks for sharing this MoonThunder . Much appreciated.

 

Thx so much. Waiting for my lease to come in of I don't buy something before. Gonna print and keep on glove box. Really appreciate it.

 

Thank’s a LOT!
Just one question?
On the battery boost section.
How do you put the car in electrical passive mode?
Actually, what is the electrical passive mode? Is when you select “turn off vehicle” under the car section of the AAOS?

Thanks!

 

You can see the full description of each mode here: Usage mode | Polestar

 

Note: the URL has been updated to Polestar 2 Emergency Info to account for the different models.

 

From discussions with rescue workers I know that scanning a QR code is not really an option for them.

They expect a printout stashed behind the sun visor instead:

Free Polestar 2 rescue card: https://cdn.polestartechhub.com/veh...hub.com/vehicle-extrication-guide/Safety+Instructions+for+Rescue+Work+–+PS2.pdf

 

Wow...40 pages isn't exactly a "card" but I will print it and put it in my car. Somewhere...

 

Page 2 is the "card", and maybe the next 3 as well.

 

mh.
i can think of printing the card front-back in a black envelope that is usable as sun visor extension.
i'll put a large red cross on it and add the QR in it for the full version if they want.
what about a sticker like this then:

 

Cool many thanks

 

Nice one 👌🏻
