how to turn off polestar car

[Nevaeh]

To turn off your Polestar, you simply put the car in Park (P) and exit the vehicle with the key fob. The car will power down automatically. There is no traditional "start/stop" button to press.

This is because Polestar, like other modern electric vehicles (EVs), doesn't have an engine that needs to be turned on or off. Instead, it has a READY state. When you enter the car with the key fob and press the brake pedal, the dashboard lights up, indicating the car is "on" and ready to drive. When your journey is over, engaging Park and leaving the car is the signal for it to enter a standby mode. All systems, including climate control and infotainment, will shut down once the driver's door is closed. If you need to turn off the screens manually while remaining inside, you can press and hold the home button at the bottom of the center touchscreen for a few seconds until the screen goes dark.

Just get out and lock it. Seriously, that’s it. I was confused at first too, looking for a button. But there isn't one. Put it in park, grab your stuff, and get out. The car handles the rest. It’s one less thing to worry about. The screens and everything go black once you walk away. It feels weird, but you get used to it real quick.
