OPERATION
The rear spoiler is powered by an electric motor
located directly below the spoiler wing in the spoiler
assembly. When the vehicle reaches 62 MPH (102
km/h), the rear spoiler deploys, giving the vehicle 40
Lbs. (356 Newtons) of downforce at 80 MPH (129
km/h). As the vehicle decelerates, the rear spoiler
starts to retract at a speed of 39 MPH (62 km/h).
When retracted, the spoiler nestles between the rear
quarter panels and the rear liftgate window.
The spoiler can be manually deployed at lower speed
using the override switch mounted in the center con-
sole. Pushing the switch up raises the rear spoiler.
Pushing the switch down lowers the rear spoiler.
To prevent injury, the rear spoiler retracts in defined
steps to allow time to pull any hands or foreign objects
that may be in the path of the rear spoiler before it is
all the way down. If the rear spoiler gets disturbed
while retracting automatically or while retracting man-
ually, the rear spoiler is automatically driven up again
and will lock in the up position. During manual retrac-
tion, if you let up on the switch, the rear spoiler will be
driven to its up position. When retracting the rear
spoiler manually, a single audible chime is produced to
indicate to the driver that the rear spoiler is in the fully
retracted position. A warning signal (LED) on the
spoiler override switch illuminates, indicating a mal-
function to the driver. A malfunction that prevents the
spoiler from deploying illuminates a red warning lamp
in the override switch.
