Porsche 911 Carrera - Manual (Page 70)

Retractable Rear Spoiler
Function of the retractable rear spoiler
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.
Warning!
Risk of damage from pushing the vehicle by
the spoiler.
Do not push the vehicle at the spoiler.
