The deployable rear spoiler automatically deploys when the vehicle reaches a speed of 70 mph (113 km/h) and automatically retracts if the vehicle's speed is below 40 mph (64 km/h). Do many people drive around with the coupe rear spoiler deployed , i like it open when driving

 

Not certain what you are talking about but it's not something you can force open when you are just "driving around". It's either up or down and that is 100% dependent upon it's programming that is not "editable" to my knowledge

 

Yep, Cambo has confirmed that the programming which determines when it raises and when it lowers cannot be edited, so you are stuck with the factory settings.
There are ways to permanently disable it in the down/lowered position, which I have done, and thinking about it I reckon the same method I used would also work to have it permanently in the raised position if that is what you want.

 

No i just mean some people drive around with it on the open position all the time e.g

In Ireland there is only a few 70mph limit road, all main routes are 60mph so the chances of the spoiler opening or closing is slim.
Think it should work at a speed of 60mph. i like it going up and down, looks good when someone is following behind, especially on a curvy bit of road, but if you're never on the 70mph highway its shut the whole time.

 

Get a convertible. It opens at 60 or whenever I push the button.

 

I don't recall the details but that is NOT "normal". I think he had to of hacked his wiring to get it to do that

 

In the US, the Coupe spoiler goes up at 70mph and down at 50mph.

 

If you watch the video all the way through it's only the first couple of clips where the spoiler is raised, the rest of the time it is down, so who knows what he did. I know you can raise the spoiler when stopped (or maybe going less than 5 mph) but I also understand that once you get up to a reasonable speed, I'm guessing 15 or 20 mph, it will automatically lower again. Then again it seems to change across different markets. Maybe someone can do a little test - stop the car, raise the spoiler, then take off and see what happens. It could even be that the car will not let you take off with the spoiler raised.

 

No, you can take off with it up, but it will go back down when reaching a very low speed.

 

My car has a button in the console, I can put it up at whatever speed I want (before it automatically dep[loys at 120kph) but if I do that, it will only go down when the car is doing under 85kph (if I have turned it off again). It also will stay up when the car is off, unless I have turned the spoiler off. I thought all Australian ones must have had that but maybe it is limited.

So back to Powerhouse, I am a little embarrassed to admit I do put it up sometimes (at least once a week when I an on the highway) and drive around with it up. I always retract it when I am going slow or parked, for various reasons, but mainly I wouldnt want anyone to grab it as it looks a bit flimsy. My only reason for putting it up is that I like to show off, but if I didnt I wouldnt have the car.

 

Bruce,
I permanently disabled my spoiler a few months ago, but from what I can remember I could not manually raise it once I got going (not that I ever wanted to!). Maybe a difference between Oz MY 2015 and MY 2016.5?

 

I can't find the video so deleted this message

 

Oz - could be, I've always been able to get mine up whenever I like. I agree, not being able to get yours up is likely to be an age thing.

 

You could be right Bruce, I can't get mine up at all any more!

 

I have found it to deploy at 72mph.

 

It's a US thing. For European models, you can deploy the spoiler whenever you want to/at any speed and drive with it up all the time.


Don't understand why anyone want to though.....

 

Of course I should have followed my usual advice and RTFM!
On page 85 of the Owner Manual (DRS = Deployable Rear Spoiler):

Automatic mode (Convertible only)
The DRS will automatically deploy when the
vehicle reaches a speed of 96 km/h (60 mph).
The DRS will automatically retract if the
vehicle's speed is below 64 km/h (40 mph).
Automatic mode (Coupe only)
The DRS will automatically deploy when the
vehicle reaches a speed of 113 km/h (70 mph).
The DRS will retract if the vehicle's speed is
below 80 km/h (50 mph).
Manual mode
Press the switch to manually deploy the DRS
at speeds below 96 km/h (60 mph) on the
Convertible, 113 km/h (70 mph) on the Coupe.
The switch will illuminate to confirm.
Note: The DRS can also be manually deployed
when the vehicle is stationary, for maintenance.
Note: The DRS will not automatically retract
when in manual mode. It is advisable to return
the DRS to automatic mode, when manual mode
is no longer required.
Press the switch again to return to automatic
mode. The switch lamp will extinguish to
confirm. The DRS will retract if the vehicle's
speed is below 64 km/h (40 mph) on the
Convertible, 80 km/h (50 mph) on the Coupe.
Note: If the vehicle is stationary, or the vehicle's
speed is below 21 km/h (13 mph), the switch
must be continually pressed until the DRS is
fully retracted. If the retraction is aborted, then
release the switch and press again to return to
the fully deployed position.

 

I think this does not apply for the US models.

 

just like a female cat looking for some action.

 

Mine can’t be put down
