Recommended grade: Washer fluid recommended by Polestar, with frost protection during cold weather and temperatures below the freezing point.
Use washer fluid with the recommended pH value between 6 and 8, diluted as recommended, e.g. in a 1:1 solution with pH-neutral water.
Use washer fluid with anti-freeze when temperatures are below the freezing point to help keep the pump, reservoir and hoses from freezing.

- Vehicles without headlight washers: 3.5 liters (3.7 qts).
Putting the wiper blades in service position
Windshield wipers in the service position.
The windshield wipers must be in the service position when replacing, washing or lifting the blades (e.g. to scrape ice or snow from the windshield).
Before placing the wipers in service position, ensure that they have not frozen to the windshield.
Activating/deactivating service position
The service position can be activated/deactivated when the vehicle is stationary and the windshield wipers are switched off. Service position is activated/deactivated via the center display:
- Tap
- Then tap More.
- Select Mirrors and wipers and activate/deactivate the wiper blades’ service position.
The wiper blades will also move out of the service position if:
- The windshield wipers are turned on.
- The windshield washers are turned on.
- The rain sensor is activated.
- The vehicle begins moving.
If the wiper arms in service position are raised from the windshield, they must be folded back against the windscreen before activating wiping, washing or rain sensor as well as before departure. This is to prevent damaging the paint on the hood.
Replacing windshield wiper blades
-
Raise the wiper arms to the service position. Service position is activated/deactivated via Function view in the center display when the vehicle is stationary and the windshield wipers are off. Press the button on the wiper blade attachment and pull the wiper blade straight out, parallel with the wiper arm.
-
Slide in a new wiper blade until it clicks into place.
- Check to make sure the blade is securely in place.
- Press the wiper blade back against the windshield.
Wiper blades come in varying lengths
When changing wiper blades, make sure that the blades are of different lengths. The blade on the driver’s side is longer than the one on the passenger side.
Wiper blades and washer fluid
The windshield washer nozzles are integrated into the upper side of the wiper arm. Washer fluid is supplied when washing is activated and the wiper arms begin moving.
The integrated washer nozzles in the wiper arm help provide more effective washing at different speeds and in different weather conditions, such as in strong winds. They can also help reduce the risk of impaired visibility for the driver, which is a common problem with traditional windshield washing methods. This type of integrated washing nozzle also provides more efficient washer fluid consumption.
The washer fluid nozzles* automatically heat up in cold weather to prevent the washer fluid from freezing.
When there is approximately 1 liter (1 qt) of washer fluid remaining, a message to refill will appear in the instrument panel.
