New Cool Feature Discovered

Maybe this is dumb or all of you know about this already but i just discovered it today.

I noticed that when raising/lowering the rear spoiler, I could actually manually adjust the height of it.
The way to do it is during when pressing it to lower it down. Instead of holding it continuously until it closes, release the button after 2 secs just before it completely closes then you get a mid height rear spoiler which gives a slight difference in the look.

Its probably a no big deal to you guys but i find it cool. Heres a pic of the 2 height comparisons from full up & mid rise.

No, you have manually just hold it for a couple of seconds each time. The default height would be the full extension. In coupes with sunroofs, the spoiler gives up even further when the roof is open and in cars with SPASM the default position is higher than cars without SPASM.

Not sure I am following.... Did you discover this when car is in motion or parked? I've found that if the car is moving at all, just tapping the spoiler button once either fully extends or lowers the spoiler. There isn't any in-between.... But when parked or not moving, you have to hold your finger on the button until it stops blinking. If you take your finger off before it stops blinking the spoiler will remain in that position, sure. But then you have this annoying blinking red LED....

I also concur with LPB987S - sunroof open changes the height, as does I ink having the SD package. This is all part of the "active" aero features of our P-cars.
