How to adjust the head-up display in a Polestar 5
Set your seating position first, then align the projected information from that position. That gives the head-up display a consistent reference point.
Checked against the UK model-year 2026 Polestar 5 manual on 27 October 2026. Match the display and fitted equipment to your car before following these instructions. Optional comfort features may be absent.
Open top-bar settings → Settings → Interior → Adjust → Head-up display. Choose brightness or position and adjust it with the steering-wheel buttons.
Before you start
Park and use your normal driving posture. Work on one adjustment at a time so you can see whether brightness or position was the setting you needed.
Follow the controls
Tick steps as you go. Your progress stays in this tab.
Check the result
Confirm that the information is comfortable to see from your seat before driving. The manual also allows access through the shortcuts view.
