Extendable rear spoiler
The rear spoiler improves the handling of the
vehicle. It adapts the vehicle's aerodynamics
to the operating conditions, dependent on the
speed of the vehicle.

tive sport suspension system, the button is
in the switch strip above the air condition-
ing control panel.

rear spoiler manually for cleaning. Button :

If you drive at speeds above 75 mph

matically. Button : flashes until the rear
spoiler has extended and then lights up in red.
