It is a strange choice, especially when the Polestar 2 still has the ability to toggle between Adaptive Cruise -versus- Pilot Assist, with the right arrow. That said, the left arrow never had any functionality that I’m aware of on the XC40 Recharge, nor the Polestar. They could have made those buttons do the distance control, but these are legacy controls from years of other models. It will be interesting to see if OTA updates change what the buttons do at some future date.

In a recent press release Volvo stated those buttons would be utilized in the near future but did not indicate what the functions would be.
