Adjusting the dampers

00:00:03.060 --> 00:00:15.120
The dampers can be individually adjusted to fit different seasons, road conditions, or your personal preference. For best results use the recommended adjustment positions available in the Manual.

00:00:15.130 --> 00:00:19.250
Turn the wheels to access the front dampers.

00:00:19.300 --> 00:00:22.130
[Exterior of a Polestar 2 vehicle. The front wheel turns inwards and is highlighted.]

00:00:22.150 --> 00:00:28.100
[An overlay image of a shock absorber appears. The adjustment knob is highlighted in orange.]

00:00:28.150 --> 00:00:34.170
First turn the adjustment knob clockwise by hand all the way to the start position.

00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:40.050
Note: Do not tighten the adjuster knob too hard. The dampers may be damaged.

00:00:40.100 --> 00:00:48.020
[Close-up of the adjustment knob with numbers around it to indicate the adjustment positions. The knob is turned clockwise to position 0.]

00:00:48.050 --> 00:00:55.450
Turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise and count the number of audible clicks to select the desired adjustment position.

00:00:55.500 --> 00:01:06.100
[The adjustment knob is turned anticlockwise until it reaches adjustment position 4.]

00:01:06.130 --> 00:01:13.010
Repeat the procedure for the other front damper using the same adjustment position.

00:01:13.030 --> 00:01:20.450
Raise the vehicle using a jack to access the rear dampers. See the Manual for how to safely raise and secure the vehicle.

00:01:20.500 --> 00:01:24.300
[A Polestar 2 is parked in a garage. A jack underneath a rear wheel raises the vehicle.]

00:01:24.350 --> 00:01:28.200
[Close-up of the wheel. Two nuts above it are highlighted.]

00:01:28.250 --> 00:01:32.250
[Close up of the nuts. The nuts are unscrewed and removed.]

00:01:32.300 --> 00:01:36.550
Lift up the lining to reach underneath.

00:01:36.600 --> 00:01:41.150
[Close-up of the lining. The lining is highlighted and lifted up.]

00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:47.080
[The protective rubber cover over the adjustment knob is highlighted and removed.]

00:01:47.100 --> 00:01:48.550
[The adjustment knob is shown.]

00:01:48.600 --> 00:01:55.010
First turn the adjustment knob clockwise by hand all the way to the start position.

00:01:55.030 --> 00:02:00.100
Note: Do not tighten the adjuster knob too hard. The dampers may be damaged.

00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:08.130
[Close-up of the adjustment knob with numbers around it to indicate the adjustment positions. The knob is turned clockwise to position 0.]

00:02:08.150 --> 00:02:16.300
Turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise and count the number of audible clicks to select the desired adjustment position.

00:02:16.350 --> 00:02:25.240
[The adjustment knob is turned anticlockwise until it reaches adjustment position 4.]

00:02:25.260 --> 00:02:29.010
[The rubber cap is placed back over the adjustment knob.]

00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:33.210
[The lining is put back over the shock absorber.]

00:02:33.210 --> 00:02:37.180
[The nuts are screwed back over the lining.]

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:43.000
[Exterior of the vehicle. The jack lowers the vehicle back down.]

00:02:43.030 --> 00:02:49.110
Repeat the procedure for the other rear damper using the same adjustment position.

00:02:49.130 --> 00:02:55.240
You can also use a vehicle ramp for easier access to the dampers, if you have one on hand.
