Setting up your car for the first time
The setup guide for your car automatically starts in the centre display. It guides you through profile creation and other essential settings.
Tip
Before getting your car
Before you start, you can prepare a few things to make the in-car setup faster. This includes creating a Polestar ID if you haven't done so already and downloading the Polestar app.
- Important settings, such as your car's system language
- Connecting the car to your Polestar ID
- Consent to terms and conditions for various car services, including third party services
- Setting up internet access
- Setting up the owner profile
Note
Stay parked during setup
The car needs to be stationary and in P when you go through the setup guide.
Complete setup
It's advisable to complete the setup before driving the car. 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 car.
No guide?
If the car 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 car, make sure that you change the ownership of the car. 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 car.
