Opening the hood

You need to pull two separate release levers to open the hood; this provides access to the front storage compartment. Be sure to close the hood again before driving the vehicle.

Locations of release levers

Interior hood lever location — The first lever can be found below the dashboard on the driver's side, just in front of the door hinge.

Exterior hood lever location — The second lever is below the front edge of the hood.

Releasing the hood

Pull back on the hood release lever inside the vehicle.

Directions on using the interior lever.

The hood releases from its fully locked position. It opens slightly, which gives you access to the second lever.

Pull the lever below the front edge of the hood.

Note

After closing the hood

If you see an open hood warning in the instrument panel, open the hood and check for obstructions before closing it again. Contact Polestar Customer Support if the notification doesn't go away.
