STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory. 430
Leveling control
*
and suspension
The vehicle's leveling control system adjusts
the suspension and shock absorbers auto-
matically to help optimize comfort and con-
trol while driving. Leveling can also be con-
trolled manually to facilitate loading or get-
ting in and out of the vehicle.
Manually adjustable shock absorbers
*
The suspension on Polestar Engineered
*
vehi-
cles can be manually adjusted. There are three
recommended modes: Performance,
engineered and Comfort.
Performance mode
In Performance mode, the vehicle's suspen-
sion feels stiffer.
Engineered, factory setting
Engineered is designed for daily driving.
Comfort mode
In Comfort mode, the vehicle's suspension
feels softer.
Pneumatic suspension and shock
absorbers
The system is adapted to the selected drive
mode and vehicle speed. The pneumatic sus-
pension reduces the vehicle's ground clear-
ance at higher speeds to reduce air resistance
and increase stability. The shock absorbers are
normally set to help optimize comfort and are
adjusted continuously according to the road
surface and the vehicle's acceleration, braking
and cornering.
The instrument panel indi-
cates when the suspension
level is being adjusted.
The following apply if a door or the tailgate is
opened:
•
If a door is opened, the level can only be
adjusted upwards.
•
If the tailgate is open, the level can only be
adjusted downwards.
Parking
When parking, make sure that there is ade-
quate space above and below the vehicle
since ground clearance may vary depending
on e.g. ambient temperature, how the vehicle
is loaded, if loading mode is used, which drive
mode is selected after the engine is started,
etc.
The level may also be adjusted a period after
the vehicle is parked. This is to compensate
for any height changes that may occur due to
temperature changes in the air springs when
the vehicle cools.
Transporting
When transporting the vehicle on a ferry, train
or truck, only secure (lash) the vehicle around
the tires, not using any other parts of the chas-
sis. Changes in the pneumatic suspension
may occur during transport, which could
adversely affect the lashing and result in dam-
age.
