2022 Polestar 2 Wiper blades and washer fluid

Filling washer fluid

Washer fluid is used to help keep the windshield clean. Washer fluid containing anti-freeze should be used in very cold weather (below-freezing temperatures).

Fill washer fluid into the reservoir with the blue cover. The reservoir has a volume of 3.7 quarts (3.5 liters).

NOTE

When there is approximately 1 liter (1 qt) of washer fluid remaining, the message Refill washer fluid, level lowand the 2022-Polestar-2-Windshield-and-rear-window-Owners-Manual-Fig-6 symbol will be displayed in the instrument panel.

Recommended grade: Washer fluid recommended by Polestar, with frost protection during cold weather and temperatures below the freezing point.

IMPORTANT

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.

IMPORTANT

Use washer fluid with anti-freeze when temperatures are below the freezing point to help keep the pump, reservoir and hoses from freezing.

Putting the wiper blades in service position

The windshield wiper blades must be in the service (vertical) position for certain operations, e.g. replacing the blades.

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).

IMPORTANT

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 2022-Polestar-2-Lane-Keeping-Aid-14 in the center display.
  • 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.
IMPORTANT

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

The wiper blades help remove water from the windshield. Along with the washer fluid, they are designed to clean the glass and help improve visibility while driving. The wiper blades can be replaced.

  • Raise the wiper arms to the service position. Service position is activated/deactivated 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

NOTE

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 wipers and the washer fluid are designed to improve visibility.
  • 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.
