2️⃣ Driver Display Reset

When: Driver screen flickers or freezes.

🧠 Tips Across All Brands:

• Always park safely and avoid resets while driving unless it’s a non-critical infotainment reboot.
• Software updates often fix underlying issues — check for pending updates before deep resets.
• After any reset, systems like driver profiles, Bluetooth, or seat memory may need re-activation.

⚡ Polestar 2 – Wipers in Service Mode

🧰 Purpose: Lift wipers away from the hood for blade replacement or cleaning.

✅ How:

1. Ensure the car is off (ignition and displays off).
2. Within 3 seconds of turning the car off, press and hold the wiper stalk upward (single-wipe position) for about 3 seconds.
   → The wipers will move up into the service position mid-windshield.

🧽 After replacement:

• Turn the car on again (press brake + start).
• The wipers will automatically return to their normal resting position.

📝 Notes:

• Works only if the car is completely off.
• If the timing window passes, turn the car on and off again to retry.
• Avoid manually lifting wipers unless they’re in service position — they can hit the hood edge otherwise.
