Default Question about rear spoiler

So I was just curious. I know for a fact that when I hit a certain speed in my 2014 Carerra S the spoiler would go up and then go back down as I slowed down. I have a 2014 Turbo. I know the spoiler definitely goes up when you push sport plus. I also know it goes up when you do it manually. I read in the manual it should go up automatically when you hit 75. I don't see this happening automatically?. Any thoughts?

It's probably doing it and you just can't see it. It goes up plus angles down. Have a passenger watch for it while you concentrate on driving. I believe it also deploys at 75.

I'll have to do that. The thing is when engage sport plus I see it go up.

I have only seen it go up with aggressive driving without SP and when the sunroof or tilt sunroof are open (here it goes up higher than with SP).

I've never seen mine move except for in sport plus, when opening sunroof or manually deploying it.

If it is moving it must be very subtle.

I've seen mine extend at 75 (not aggressively driving).

I normally drive in Sport mode with the spoiler not extended. I did notice it did not seem to be as extended at 75 as it is when you hit the extend button, but I've read there are multiple deployment levels, so maybe it's not visible as it's not "fully" extended.

I have the aero kit, which makes it's easier to see in my side mirrors. I don't think the aero package changes the deployment characteristics, so yours should be extending partially

Your rear spoiler will extend to the first position at 120 kilometers per hour (74.6 miles per hour). It will extend to the second position at 150 kilometers per hour (93.2 miles per hour). It is barely visible in the side mirrors in the first position. It is easily visible in the side mirrors when fully extended in the second position.

Quick question off of the topic of the spoiler. This is my first turbo. When I'm driving normally I noticed the turbo boost gauge stays at zero. Or if I'm cruising. When I hit the gas heavy It goes up.

Correct. The boost gauge reflects the amount of boost the Turbo's are generating. The base engine does not need boost to simply maintain speed or for "non spirited" acceleration.
