The rear spoiler raises automatically when the vehicle speed reaches 150 km/h (approx. 94 mph). If, at this speed the sunroof is open or raised then the sunroof will close automatically.
If the vehicle speed drops below 130 km/h (approx. 81 mph) the rear spoiler will lower automatically. The sunroof will open again.
The Rear Spoiler Control Module J223 detects faults and malfunctions in the rear spoiler system and stores these in a nonvolatile memory.
Using the self-diagnosis the faults can be read and repairs undertaken using guided fault finding.
A fault in the rear spoiler system is indicated via the rear spoiler warning lamp - arrow - when in the automatic mode. The warning lamp also lights up when rear spoiler is raised "manually".
CAUTION: The behavior of the vehicle can change at high speeds if the spoiler does not move into the raised position.
