Parking on a hill
Always make sure that the parking brake has
been activated when parking on a hill.
If the car is parked facing uphill:
• Turn the wheels away from the kerb.
If the car is parked facing downhill:
• Turn the wheels towards the kerb.

In the event of a
parking brake fault
Contact Polestar Support if it is not possible to
deactivate or activate the parking brake after
several attempts.
An acoustic warning signal sounds when driving
with the parking brake activated.
If the car has to be parked before a possible fault
can be rectified, the car must be secured to pre-
vent it from rolling away.
The car can be secured by parking on level
ground and:
• Block one or more of the wheels using suita-
ble objects as chocks.
• Turn the front wheels towards the kerb or
similar.
Replacing the brake linings
The rear brake linings must be replaced at a
workshop due to the design of the electrically-
operated parking brake – contact Polestar Sup-
port.
