Setting up your vehicle for the first time

There is a guide that helps you set up your vehicle the first time you use it.

The setup guide for your vehicle automatically starts in the center display. It guides you through profile creation and other essential settings.

 Tip

Before getting your vehicle

Before you start, you can prepare a few things to make the in-vehicle setup faster. This includes creating a Polestar ID, if you haven't done so already, and downloading the Polestar app.

The setup guide covers the following:
  • Important settings, such as your vehicle's system language
  • Connecting the vehicle to your Polestar ID
  • Consent to terms and conditions for various vehicle services, including third-party services
  • Setting up Internet access
  • Setting up the owner profile

 Note

Stay parked during setup

The vehicle needs to be stationary and in P when you go through the setup guide.

Complete setup

It is advisable to complete the setup before driving the vehicle. If you exit the guide before going through the necessary steps, certain features will be unavailable until you go back and complete the process. You will also be reminded about the setup the next time you drive the vehicle.

No guide?

If the vehicle has already been set up by someone else, such as a previous owner, you can do a factory reset to access the setup guide again.

New owner?

If you are the new owner of a previously-owned vehicle, make sure that you change the ownership of the vehicle. An automatic reset will happen in connection with this change of ownership. After the reset, you can go through the setup guide to set up your vehicle.
