2008 Chrysler Crossfire Owners Manual - Rear spoiler



Rear spoiler

CAUTION! Do not push or pull on the spoiler when deployed. Damage to the spoiler could result.

A rear spoiler enhances vehicle stability. The rear spoiler deploys automatically when vehicle speed reaches ap- proximately 62 mph (100 km/h). The spoiler begins to retract at 39 mph (62 km/h). When retracted, the spoiler fits between the quarter panels, and aft of the liftgate window or tonneau cover.

The spoiler can also be deployed at lower speeds using an override switch mounted in the center console.

Once manually deployed, the spoiler will only retract by pressing the bottom of the spoiler switch. The spoiler will then retract in steps as long as the switch is depressed. If the switch is depressed until the spoiler is fully retracted, a short beep will be heard, and automatic control will be reestablished.

The spoiler control also incorporates an emergency stop feature. If, for any reason, spoiler motion needs to be stopped, pressing either the top or bottom of the switch will stop the spoiler motion. Once the deployment speed is reached, however, the spoiler deploys to its full up position. The spoiler will deploy as a safety precaution if the ESP system detects a large difference in wheel speed between the front and rear wheels. This could occur as a result of a speed signal malfunction, or could occur if the vehicle is attempting to accelerate on a low friction surface causing the rear wheels to spin. The spoiler will remain deployed and the warning light in the spoiler switch will blink until the vehicle is restarted. If the spoiler continues to deploy in this fashion below the normal deployment speed, see your authorized dealer.

Should a malfunction occur that prevents the spoiler from deploying automatically, a red warning light will illuminate in the override switch and an audible warning will sound.

WARNING! Do not drive the vehicle at speeds above 62 mph (100 km/h) if the red spoiler warning indicator is illumi- nated. You could have reduced vehicle stability and control.

WARNING! Keep hands and fingers away from the spoiler and spoiler linkage when the spoiler is deploying or retracting. The linkage could pinch your fingers and cause serious injury.
