I accidentally left the key in the car with the ignition on yesterday but the car not running, totally my fault. When I came out to the car later as I walked up to it I noticed the rear spoiler was up, then realized I had a totally deal battery. I got the frunk open using the fuse post and jumped the car off the battery, once started and driving the spoiler dropped back to normal. I had a look in the manual and couldn�t see anything about the spoiler raising with a dead battery, is it some really clever Porsche trick to give you access to the engine to jump the car off the engine posts?, if so how do you open the engine cover manually?, I looked with the spoiler raised but couldn�t see anything obvious.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

one thing for sure, it adds value
If it was a cab you may have found the top and windows down, but only if it was raining. As the battery goes flat strange things start to happen. your engine release cable is coiled up under the left taillight.
