Specifications for fluids and lubricants
Filling washer fluid
Washer fluid is used to help keep the headlights and windshield clean. Washer fluid containing anti-freeze should be used in very cold weather (below-freezing temperatures).
Air conditioning specifications
The climate system in the vehicle uses a freon-free R134a refrigerant. For information regarding the refrigerant, refer to the decal located on the inside of the hood.
Brake fluid specifications
The medium in the hydraulic brake system is called brake fluid and is used to transfer braking force from e.g. pressure on the brake pedal via a master brake cylinder to one or more slave cylinders, which in turn act on a mechanical brake.
Transmission fluid specifications
Under normal driving conditions, the transmission fluid will not need to be changed during the transmission's service life. However, it may need to be changed if the vehicle is driven frequently in adverse driving conditions.
Fuel tank volume
The fuel tank's refillable volume is shown in the table below.
Coolant specifications
Recommended grade: Polestar-approved premixed coolant. If concentrated coolant is used, mix with 50% water of acceptable quality (i.e. not salt water, etc.). Contact Polestar Customer Support if you are unsure.
Engine oil specifications
Engine oil of type VCC RBS0-2AE 0W-20 must be used. Lower oil grades may not offer the same fuel economy, engine performance or engine protection.
