Getting to know her

Hi everyone,

Just a few things that I need some clarification on:

a. when the wipers are on INT, does the toggle at the end of the stalk adjust the automatic rain sensing sensitivity (I am assuming they are rain sensing)?

b. in regard to the rear spoiler, please let me know if I am correct:
- when in regular mode, the spoiler opens up fully at highway speeds and then retracts fully when speed comes down when driving at city speeds
- in sport or sport plus modes, the spoiler opens up fully at highway speeds and then retracts to intermediate deployment when coming down to city speeds and only fully retracts when car is shut off

c. there is a button on the bottom of the wiper stalk and I have no idea what it does


Thanks for your help.

Michael

You are right for A. for B the spoiler goes down fully while driving < 60miles /h (not half way) and it goes up at speed of 60 m/h or more. not sure for the C button, i don't think i have one and mine is panamera 4 2018?

It helps to know the year, but #2 of b, the spoiler retracts completely at city speeds.

Thanks for your responses (it is a '16 GTS).

- With the car in 'sport' mode, the rear spoiler fully opens at highway speeds then when I get off the highway and drive at city speeds, the outer wings of the spoiler move back to center but the spoiler does not retract fully into the car until I shut off the car or go back to regular mode (press the sport button to off position)
- With the car in regular mode, the rear spoiler fully opens at highway speeds then when I get off the highway and drive at city speeds, the whole spoiler retracts into the car.

Is this normal?

Thanks

No it’s not, should open at @90kph and fully close at a lower speed, when in sport, + it is the same but it does articulate to a higher angle when you punch it or around 130kph
