2023 Polestar 2 Climate control General topics

Activating and deactivating heater

The heater conditions the vehicle’s battery and passenger compartment. Heater OFF can be selected to extend the vehicle’s range.
  • Open Climate view in the center display by swiping upwards in the Home view.
  • Tap the heater button.

> The heater is activated/deactivated, which is indicated by a symbol at the bottom of the display in the climate bar.

NOTE

Battery power may be limited if Heater-OFF is used on a battery that is already very cold. The vehicle’s acceleration speed may be affected, for example.

Climate

  • The vehicle is equipped with electronic climate control. The climate system cools, heats, and dehumidifies the air in the passenger compartment.
  • All of the climate system functions are controlled from the center display and the buttons on the center console.
  • Most climate functions can also be controlled via voice control. Certain functions require an internet connection to be voice-controlled.

Activating the climate system

  • The climate system’s functions are available when someone is sitting in the driver’s seat or the center display is being used.
  • The climate system starts automatically during rapid charging.
NOTE

If necessary, the climate control can be used to cool down the media system in the center display. In these cases, the message Cooling infotainment system is shown in the instrument panel.

NOTE

Heating/cooling cannot be accelerated by choosing a higher/lower temperature than the desired temperature.

Climate control sensors

The climate system has a number of sensors to help regulate the climate settings in the vehicle. Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.

Location of the sensors

  1. Sunlight sensors – on the upper side of the dashboard.
  2. Humidity sensor – in the rearview mirror console.
  3. Passenger compartment temperature sensor – near the buttons in the center console.
  4. Ambient temperature sensor – in the right-side door mirror.

On vehicles equipped with the Interior Air Quality System, there is also an air quality sensor in the climate system’s air intake.

Climate control system service

Service and repairs on the air conditioning system should only be done by an authorized workshop.

Troubleshooting and repairs

  • The air conditioning system contains a fluorescent tracer substance. Ultraviolet light is used to search for leaks in the system.
  • Contact Polestar Customer Support if you experience any problems with the climate system.

Vehicles with R1234yf refrigerant

WARNING

The air conditioning system contains the refrigerant R1234yf under pressure. In accordance with SAE J2845 (Technician Training for Safe Service and Containment of Refrigerants Used in Mobile A/C System), service and repairs to the refrigerant system may only be performed by trained and certified technicians in order to ensure the safety of the system.

Climate zones

The vehicle is divided into climate zones to make it possible to set different temperatures for different parts of the passenger compartment.
2-zone climate system

  • Climate zones with 2-zone climate system.

In 2-zone climate systems, the passenger compartment temperature can be set separately for the left and right sides of the vehicle.

Perceived temperature

  • The climate control system regulates the climate in the passenger compartment based on perceived temperature, not actual temperature.
  • The selected passenger compartment temperature is based on the physical perception of the current ambient temperature, airflow speed, humidity, sunlight in the passenger compartment, etc.
  • The system has a sunlight sensor that detects which side of the vehicle the sunlight is shining on and adjusts the temperature accordingly. This means that the temperature of the air coming out of the vents may be different for the left and right sides, even if the temperature setting is the same for both sides.
