How to enable the wireless phone charger in a Polestar 5
A charging pad can be present while its display setting is disabled. Check that setting before interpreting a lack of charging as a phone or hardware fault.
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 → More → Wireless charging and turn the charger on.
Before you start
Park and identify the charger setting. This guide enables the car’s pad; it does not establish that every phone or case supports wireless charging.
Follow the controls
Tick steps as you go. Your progress stays in this tab.
Check the result
Enabling the pad is the first control check. Follow the vehicle’s separate instructions for placing a compatible device on the charger instead of assuming the enabled switch proves a phone is charging.
