Polestar ADAS Calibration. From £162 Per System.

Yes for any Polestar with factory-fitted Pilot Assist, which is the full Polestar 2 production run from 2020, the Polestar 3 from 2024 and the Polestar 4 from 2024. Our coverage table above lists the typical triggers we see. On the Polestar 2 it's windscreen swap and bumper repair. On the Polestar 4 the roof-mounted rear camera adds a calibration step we don't see on the 2.

If you're on a Polestar 1 or you're not sure which Pilot Assist generation your car runs, send the VIN when you enquire. We'll check the build spec against Polestar's records before booking and confirm the fixed quote upfront. Calibration is priced per system whichever model you drive: the front camera is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre, and front radar is the same rate.

Because the forward camera that feeds Pilot Assist is bonded into the windscreen mount, and the system uses that camera's aim as its reference for lane keep, adaptive cruise and the auto-emergency brake. Lift the glass off and the camera's view shifts by a fraction of a degree, even when the new screen goes back in the same position by eye.

A typical case looks like this: the previous owner replaced the windscreen, and the new owner only finds out Pilot Assist is offline at handover. Another common one is a windscreen swap done alongside four-wheel alignment, with ADAS still not fully working after. The alignment is a separate job. The calibration is the missing step that brings Pilot Assist back. That calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at a centre.

Because the Polestar 2 runs on Volvo's diagnostic platform, and Polestar work goes through Volvo service centres in the UK. Workshop access to that platform is a real overhead the dealer recovers through the labour rate, and the Polestar premium positioning means the rate sits above what a standard Volvo XC40 calibration would land at. Dealer quotes customers have shown us for ADAS work run £300 to £900.

Our service centres carry manufacturer-spec equipment and run the same documented manufacturer procedure, priced per system. Front camera calibration is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT), front radar is the same, with the full rate card on this page. Your quote is confirmed in writing before anything is booked, certificate after every job. Same calibration the Volvo service centre would run, recorded against the same Polestar build spec, just without the premium service-centre mark-up sitting on top.

It's a common pattern for us. The previous owner had the glass done, didn't run the calibration, and Pilot Assist has been offline ever since. The dashboard might flag the fault on first start-up, or the system might just stay deactivated without an obvious warning until you try to engage adaptive cruise.

Polestar 2 owners come to us with exactly this pattern: told at handover that the previous owner changed the windscreen, wheel alignment since done, some ADAS features working and others not. The fix is the same as if you'd just had the screen swapped yourself. Static calibration against the Volvo target board, certificate after, Pilot Assist back online. It's a front camera job, and the calibration costs £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT) at one of our centres.

The Polestar 4 has no rear windscreen. A roof-mounted camera feeds the digital rear-view mirror instead, and that camera has its own calibration target separate from the forward camera and radar at the front.

What that means in practice is a Polestar 4 with rear-end or roof damage needs the rear camera calibrated as well as the forward sensors. The procedure runs on the same Volvo-derived platform, just adds the rear-camera step. The rear camera calibration is £206.40 inc VAT (£172 +VAT) and the forward camera is £162 inc VAT (£135 +VAT), both centre rates. Our service centres handle both, the written quote covers the full calibration, and the certificate documents the post-job readings for the forward and rear systems together.
