How to turn on seat ventilation in a Polestar 5
Ventilation has its own setting in the seat comfort view. Check that you are selecting the ventilation control for the intended seat rather than its heating control.
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.
Press the relevant seat symbol in the climate bar and choose a ventilation level. Close the comfort view using the arrowhead symbol.
Before you start
Confirm that the seat has ventilation equipment. Open its own comfort view while parked, especially when learning an unfamiliar display.
Follow the controls
Tick steps as you go. Your progress stays in this tab.
Check the result
Use the same comfort view to inspect the choice later. Equipped rear seats can also be controlled from the panel on the rear centre armrest.
