Preparations for a long
trip
Before a driving holiday or some other type of
long journey, it is important to check the car's
functions and equipment particularly carefully.
Check that
• braking effect on braking works as intended
• the tyres have sufficient tread depth and
pressure. Change to winter tyres when driv-
ing to areas where there is a risk of snowy or
icy road surfaces
• The battery's charge is good
• the wiper blades are in good condition
• a warning triangle and high-visibility vest are
located in the car - legally required in certain
countries

Winter driving
For winter driving it is important to perform cer-
tain checks of the car in order to ensure that it
can be driven safely.
Check the following in particular before a cold
season:
• The condition of the battery and charge level
must be inspected. Cold weather places
greater demands on the battery and its
capacity is reduced by the cold.
• Use washer fluid with antifreeze to avoid ice
forming in the washer fluid reservoir.
Slippery driving conditions
Polestar recommends changing the setting for
one pedal drive to Off or Low in order to contrib-
ute to more stable driving in slippery or icy con-
ditions.
To achieve optimum roadholding Polestar rec-
ommends using winter tyres on all wheels if
there is a risk of snow or ice.
Practise driving on slippery surfaces under con-
trolled conditions to learn how the car reacts.
