  • Vehicle active aerodynamic device with service support logic and mechanism
    Patent number: 11772720
    Abstract: A vehicle includes an aerodynamic device. The aerodynamic device includes: an air dam movable between a deployed position and a retracted position, an actuator operatively coupled to the air dam, the actuator configured to move the air dam between the deployed position and the retracted position, and a controller communicatively coupled to the actuator. The controller is configured to operate the actuator to move the air dam into the deployed position when the controller receives a service request signal.
    Type: Grant
