2021 Polestar 1 Air quality
Activating and deactivating the air quality sensor
The air quality sensor is part of the fully automated Interior Air Quality System (IAQS).
The air quality sensor can be switched on or off.
The air quality sensor can be switched on or off.
- Tap Settings in the Top view in the center display.
- Tap Climate.
- Select Air Quality Sensor to activate/deactivate the air quality sensor.
Advanced Air Cleaner*
- Advanced Air Cleaner is a fully automatic air purifier that collects contaminants in the form of small airborne particulate matter and exhaust gases in the passenger compartment filter, which improves the climate in the passenger compartment.
The function starts automatically when the blower starts. - Airborne particulate matter are also known as PM2.5 (particles smaller than 2.5 µm), and the concentrations of these particles in the vehicle are measured by one of the vehicle’s climate control sensors.
- The concentration in the vehicle is presented in the downloadable app Air Quality.
Air Quality app
The Air Quality app is a service that visualizes the measured content of small airborne particulate matter inside the vehicle over time.
A climate sensor measures the concentration of PM2.5 particles (particles smaller than 2.5 µm) in the passenger compartment.

Air quality
The materials used in the passenger compartment and air filtering system have been selected to ensure a high level of air quality in the passenger compartment.
Materials used in the passenger compartment
- The materials in the passenger compartment are designed to be pleasant and comfortable, even for people with asthma or allergies.
- The materials have been developed and tested to reduce dust in the passenger compartment and make it easier to keep clean.
- The mats in both the passenger compartment and trunk can be easily removed for cleaning.
- Use Polestar-recommended cleaning agents and vehicle care products to clean the interior.
Air filtering systems
In addition to the passenger compartment filter, the Clean Zone Interior Package and Interior Air Quality System also help maintain high air quality in the passenger compartment.
Clean Zone Interior Package
Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) is a series of modifications that filters even more allergy and asthma-inducing substances from the passenger compartment.
CZIP includes the following:
- An enhanced function that starts the blower when the vehicle is unlocked using the remote key. The blower will then fill the passenger compartment with fresh air. The function starts when required and switches off automatically after a period of time or when one of the passenger compartment doors is opened. The amount of time the blower runs gradually decreases due to reduced need up until the vehicle is 4 years old.
- The fully automatic Interior Air Quality System (IAQS).
CleanZone
The CleanZone function monitors the conditions affecting good air quality in the passenger compartment and indicates whether they are fulfilled or not.
- The indicator is shown in the center display’s Climate view.
- The indicator is shown in the climate bar when the Climate view is not open.
If the conditions are not met, the text Clean Zone will be shown in white. When all the conditions are met, the text will change to blue.
The same indicator will also be shown in the climate panel on the rear side of the tunnel console.
The following conditions must be met:
- All doors and trunk lid are closed.
- All side windows are closed.
- The Interior Air Quality System is activated.
- The blower is activated.
- Air recirculation is deactivated.
NOTE
CleanZone does not indicate that the air quality is good, but only that the conditions for good air quality have been met.
Interior Air Quality System
- Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) is a fully automatic air quality system that removes gases and particles to reduce odors and contaminants in the passenger compartment.
- IAQS is part of the Clean Zone Interior Package (CZIP) and removes air contaminants such as particles, hydrocarbons, nitric oxides and ground-level ozone.
- If the system’s air quality sensors detect contaminants in the outside air, the air intake closes and air recirculation is activated.
NOTE
- To ensure the optimal air quality in the passenger compartment, the air quality sensor should always be engaged.
- Recirculation is limited in cold weather to prevent fogging.
- In the event of fogging, use the defroster functions for the windshield, side windows and rear window.
Passenger compartment air filter
All air entering the passenger compartment through the climate control system intake is filtered.
Replacing the passenger compartment filter
To maintain the high performance of the climate control system, the filter must be replaced regularly. Follow Polestar’s service program for recommended replacement intervals. When driving in areas with a lot of smog, dust, etc., the filter may need to be changed more frequently.
NOTE
There are two types of passenger compartment filters. Make sure that the correct filter is installed.
Precleaning
- Precleaning the vehicle prior to departure is used to improve air quality in the passenger compartment.
- Precleaning can only be started directly from the center display, but it also starts automatically when preconditioning ends.
- The function uses the ventilation system to blow fresh air into the passenger compartment and then circulates the air through the climate system’s passenger compartment air filter.
Starting and switching off precleaning*
Pre-cleaning improves the air quality in the passenger compartment before driving. The function can be started in the center display or from a cellular phone.
Starting and stopping from the vehicle
Tap the symbol in the center of the climate bar to open the Climate view in the center display.
- Select the Parking climate tab.
- Tap Start Pre-cleaning.
> Pre-cleaning starts/stops and the button lights up/goes out.
Starting from app
A device with the Polestar 1 app can be used to start pre-cleaning or check settings.
NOTE
Precleaning* starts automatically when preconditioning is completed.
