From this answer to this questionthis answer to this question, we can see that there are two stability modes used. The capsule by itself is mono-stable, with the heat shield pointing towards the ground. The second mode is with the trunk included, and wings extended, which is stable with the nose in the direction of movement. The second method is used in rocket abort systems, keeping the spacecraft moving with the nosecone in the direction of motion.
