Retractable Rear Spoiler - Porsche Boxster Owner's Manual

Retractable Rear Spoiler

Function
The rear spoiler improves driving stability, especial-
ly at higher speeds.
Warning!
Risk of accident. If the rear spoiler cannot be
extended, driving stability will be adversely
affected by increased rear axle lift, which
could lead to loss of control.
Adapt your driving style and speed to the
changed driving behavior.
Have the fault remedied at an authorized
Porsche dealer.
Warning!
Risk of injury during manual retraction or
extension of the rear spoiler with the vehicle
stationary.
Make sure that no persons or objects are
within the range of movement of the rear
spoiler.
Caution!
Risk of damage from pushing the vehicle by
the rear spoiler.
Do not push the vehicle at the rear spoiler.
Warning light
The warning light in the on-board computer lights
up when the rear spoiler does not extend over
75 mph (120 km/h) or its end position is not
reached.
Automatic control
The rear spoiler extends at approx. 75 mph
(120 km/h) and retracts again at approx. 50 mph
(80 km/h).
If the automatic control fails, the warning light lights
up and the rear spoiler must be manually extended
before driving.
Manual control
Manual extending and retracting
When the ignition is on, the rear spoiler can be
extended and retracted manually using the button
in the center console.
Note
When the rear spoiler is extended manually, the
automatic control does not operate and the rear
spoiler must be manually retracted.
