Maintenance of the brake system

Regularly check the brake system components for wear.

To keep the vehicle as safe and reliable as possible, follow the Polestar service intervals specified in the Status and Warranty booklet.

After replacing brake pads and brake discs, braking effect is not adapted until they are "broken in" by driving a few hundred kilometers (miles). Compensate for the reduced braking effect by applying greater pressure to the brake pedal. Polestar recommends only using Polestar-approved brake pads.

Following long-term storage of the vehicle, check the brakes by driving the vehicle slowly for a short distance. Depress the brake pedal five times (hold down for five seconds each time).

 Important

The brake system's components should be regularly checked for wear.
