Default RTFM?

I can't stand doing that so I'll ask here instead. The front and rear spoiler can obviously be extended manually, but when my sunroof is open and I hit speeds of over 65 or 70 I think, the rear spoiler extends much further back and higher. Any way to do that manually?

I don't think so and I think it is 75mph. You can try putting it in sport plus to see if that does it. I believe that mine is fully extended in my avatar.

Mine has the Aerokit Turbo with the upside down wing, and it only fully extends when you open the sunroof and then it blocks pretty much everything under halfway point in my rearview mirror. Is that what yours does as well?

You could be doing 120+ with the sunroof closed and it still won't fully extend. Not sure if that's the case with the non-Aerokit cars or not.

As soon as I close my roof, it retracts to a much lower position.

I noticed that, too. There must be an algorithm that tells the spoiler to extend higher when the roof is open. There must be some effect on the aerodynamics with the roof open at high speeds requiring deployment of the spoiler to compensate. You can manually extend the spoilers by pressing the extend spoiler button, at the top right on the console.

Right, but are you able to manually extend them to the same position as sunroof open over 75 MPH? I have not found a way...I'm guessing because it seriously obstructs the rear view...

You can't manually extend to the highest position.

Yes you can, put it on "service mode", but only for rear, without the front extended.

Very cool! Somehow I missed that in the previous discussion.

How do you restore it to normal operation after service mode?

Update: apparently, you have to put it in gear and drive it.
