Shock absorbers (Four-C)*
On vehicles equipped with Four-C, the shock absorbers are adapted to the selected drive mode and the current vehicle speed. 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.
Manually adjustable shock absorbers*
The suspension on Polestar Engineered* vehicles can be manually adjusted. There are three recommended modes: Performance, Dynamic and Comfort.
Performance mode
In Performance mode, the vehicle's suspension feels stiffer.
Dynamic mode
Dynamic mode is the vehicle's default setting and is adapted for daily driving.
Comfort mode
In Comfort mode, the vehicle's suspension feels softer.
Parking1
When parking, make sure that there is adequate 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, 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.
Symbols and messages
If a problem occurs with the leveling control, a message will be displayed in the instrument panel.
