Preconditioning
Preconditioning can be started immediately or started at a preset time using a timer.
The function utilizes several of the vehicle’s systems:
- In cold weather, the parking heater heats the passenger compartment to a comfortable temperature.
- In warm weather, the air conditioning cools the passenger compartment to a comfortable temperature.
- The electrically-heated steering wheel and seats can be activated.
- Heating for the rear window and door mirrors is automatically activated as needed.
During preconditioning in a hot climate, condensation from the air conditions may drip under the vehicle. This is normal.
Preconditioning is only available when the car is connected to an electrical socket. A charging post that is not always active, for example because of a timer, can cause loss of function for preconditioning.
If the vehicle is not connected to an electrical socket it is still possible in a warm climate to achieve brief cooling of the passenger compartment by direct starting preconditioning.
During preconditioning of the passenger compartment, the vehicle works to reach a comfortable temperature and not the temperature set in the climate system.
Precleaning* starts automatically when preconditioning is completed.
Preconditioning timer settings
The timer can store up to 8 preset times for:
- A time on a particular date
- A time on one or more days of the week, with or without the repeat function.
Preconditioning is only available when the car is connected to an electrical socket. A charging port that is not always active, for example, because of a timer, can cause a loss of function for preconditioning. If the vehicle is not connected to an electrical socket it is still possible in a warm climate to achieve brief cooling of the passenger compartment by direct starting preconditioning.

Starting from app
A device with the Polestar 1 app can be used to start preconditioning and check settings. Preconditioning heats or cools the passenger compartment (using the vehicle’s air conditioning system) to a comfortable temperature.
The passenger compartment can also be preconditioned using the Engine Remote Start (ERS) (Certain markets only) function using the Polestar 1 app.
