Polestar 3 backup camera image may not appear
medium How serious is it? About this label
This raises the chance of backing into someone or something, but the vehicle is otherwise drivable and the notice does not ask owners to stop driving.
What's wrong, in plain English
On certain Polestar 3 vehicles, the backup camera picture may fail to show on the dashboard screen when you shift into reverse. Instead of seeing what is behind the vehicle, you may get no image at all. Without that view, it is harder to notice a child, a pet, or an object behind you while backing up. Federal safety rules require the camera image to display, so these vehicles do not meet that rule.
