Was vacuuming out my car, and noticed this switch on the driver side kick panel. Im too scared to hit it.....

Manually raises and lowers the spoiler.

OR it makes the car explode...

Once raised, the spoiler will stay up until you exceed and then slow back down from the speed at which the spoiler normally deploys. If you want it to stay extended (for example, you're at an autocross or you're a hopeless douchebag), manually deploy the spoiler and then pull the fuse.

Unless it's the self-destruct button, in which case that was all intended to trick you into pressing the switch.

Come on man - open your owner's manual - that's the switch that opens/closes the engine hood spoiler.

Is that listed in the manual as "mysterious black switch" under the M's, or "unmarked black switch" under the U's?

OP, welcome to the first of many lectures you'll receive from our "enthusiast community."

Your next one will no doubt be someone else ragging on you for not searching sufficiently before asking.

Oh, dude, you missed a spot.

That's a scratch mark as the self destruct took place and ripped him out of the car.

My mistake! I was searching "wtf is the switch", and "unknown friggen button".

I predict this will go 17 1/2 pages. Or just 1...

Wrong. Once you hit the button it stays up until you turn the car off. Then the next time you drive it it will go down after you go above and then drop below the retraction speed.

That's the IMS bearing lubrication switch. You should switch it on and off at least 10 times a minute while at highway speeds.

Maybe I was too harsh...I apologize...but in thumbing through the owner's manual about 15 pages in is a nice picture with labels and number 12 is labeled "switch for retractable spoiler". OP, if you'll PM me your email address, I'll send you a pdf of the owner's manual.

the "honey" button...triggers gentle pulses/vibrations/twitches for female passengers
P.S. a premium version activates a "joy stick"

lets go for 17 pages...

Someone explain to me why the people that leave bits of wiring harness out if you don't have a given option (which means every harness is close to unique!) feel the need to include this button on factory aero cars?

Hmm, given their propensity for hoarding copper wire, it would not shock me to pull that panel off to find it's not connected to anything...

Why not 18 pages.....
