Braking on gritted
roads
When driving on salted roads, a layer of salt may
form on the brake discs and brake linings.
This may extend braking distance. You should
therefore maintain a greater safety distance to
vehicles in front. In addition, make sure you do
the following:
• Brake now and again to remove any layer of
salt. Make sure that other road users are not
put at risk by the braking.
• Gently depress the brake pedal after finishing
driving and before starting your next trip.

Brake system
maintenance
Check brake system components regularly for
wear.
To keep the car as safe and reliable as possible,
Polestar's service intervals as specified in the
Status and Warranty booklet should be fol-
lowed.
After replacing brake linings and brake discs,
braking effect is only adapted after they have
been "worn in" for a few hundred kilometres
(miles). Compensate for the reduced braking
effect by depressing the brake pedal harder.
Polestar recommends only fitting brake linings
that are approved for Polestar cars.

IMPORTANT
The wear on the brake system's compo-
nents must be checked regularly.

on how to proceed.
