H should the spoiler go up after 50mph ? Or do u just have too press the button ?

 

[RCZ1]

It goes up to stage 1 automatically at about 55mph

It goes up to stage 1 automatically at around 52/53 mph and then stage two deploys at around 95/6 mph...I've....erm "heard". Stage 1 isn't visible from the rear view mirror.

An active rear spoiler deploys at 53mph to an angle of 19 degrees and retracts at 34mph. Above 96mph the spoiler changes its angle of attack to 34 degrees for maximum rear stability, returning to 19 degrees below 90mph.

Never seen it go up before but it's hard too see so there is not automatic deploy button ?

What do you mean by automatic deploy? You can press the button to raise it manually to stage 1 or 2 if that's what you are asking..?

While on the subject of the spoiler....

When standing still and the spoiler is up and I press the manual button it just goes down and back up immediately, but if i hold the button for 1.2 sec it goes away for good. Is it the same for everyone else? Just curious.

Also, if you manually deploy the spoiler and retract it again while driving, does the auto stuff still work or does the car have to be restarted before it starts to work again?

 

[RCZ1]

Yes to your first question not sure about your second question as I never manually raise it, only to clean.

First au - Try getting someone to press the button and stand at the back of the car and see what exactly is happening as it will go to half or full way up/down depending on how long you hold the button for.

2nd qu - manual mode overrides auto mode and when manual mode isn't on auto mode will be on automatically. Is that enough autos for you?!

I've noticed that my spoiler has started to get louder when operating it in manual mode. Making a grinding noise. Has anybody else experienced this.
Can you oil it or is it the motor that will need replacing like the wing mirror motors.
Thanks in advance Ian.

Nope. Never had an issue with either of mine.

squirt some oil in the mechanism. Don't bother with WD40 though, that just dries things out

 

[Mrrcz]

the light is out on the button on mine and it not working. I think it must be the motor?

 

[Verminator]

Have you checked all the fuses
