We’ve created a new page so as to separate Volvo and Polestar. A Polestar back-up open page now stands alone.
Back-up open and start procedures are made necessary to account for the batteries in key fobs dying, as they commonly do.
This change, and the recent separation of the two brands back up start pages are the result of assembling jump start information for them. Each has two new back up methods, essentially caused by the same change, but making the pages crowded and unwieldy.
On the open side, the Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 no longer have mechanical keys. Getting inside involves placing the depleted key fob on the either the front of the door handle on the Polestar 3 (right) or on the middle of the driver’s door pilar on the Polestar 4 (far right).
There doesn’t seem to be any reason why they both couldn’t share the same method, but manufacturers have never listened to us…
