Extending Front and Rear Spoilers
The extending spoilers improve driving stability at high speeds.
Spoilers extended manually or as a result of selecting Sport Plus mode do not retract when the vehicle stops.fPlease remember, for example when parking or in multi-storey car parks, that the ground clearance is limited.
Automatic mode
Depending on the vehicle speed and the position of the sun roof, the spoilers extend automatically above approx. 75 mph (120 km/h) and retract again below approx. 50 mph (80 km/h).
If the automatic control system fails, the warning message “ Spoiler loss Reduce speed” appears on the multi-function display.fPlease see the chapter “OVERVIEW OF WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGES” on page 129.
Display of the warning message “ Spoiler loss Reduce speed ” indicates failure of the extending spoilers. Driving stability will be adversely affected, for example through increased rear axle lift at higher speeds.fAdapt your driving style and speed to the changed driving behavior.fHave the fault corrected at an authorized Porsche dealer.

Rear Axle Steering
Rear axle steering increases maneuverability and agility with greater vehicle stability and reduces the turning circle of the vehicle by approx. 23.6 in. (0.6 m) compared to a vehicle without rear axle steering. The following techniques are used, depending on the speed:– Up to approx. 30 mph (50 km/h): “opposite-direction steering motion” for greater agility (virtual shortening of wheelbase).– Above approx. 50 mph (80 km/h): “same-direction steering motion” for greater stability (virtual extension of wheelbase).
