Rear Spoiler Control

Really basic newbie question.

Does the rear spoiler automatically come up and retract on its own when I am driving at certain speeds? I don't know since I'm never following my own car from behind lol. I just push the button on the inside manually to raise it whenever I'm on the interstate and the light comes on.

Or am I supposed to switch it to automatic mode somehow in order for it to go up and down on its own?

The manual mentions automatic mode but not how to switch it on which is leading me to believe it's already on?

it will go up and down on it's own. there is a section in the manual which states the conditions which it goes up and down.

Ok I see where it says:

Engine compartment temperature
under 122 °F/55 °C


Spoiler extends at 75 mph/120 km/h and
retracts at 37 mph/60 km/h.

Engine compartment temperature
over 140 °F/60 °C


Spoiler extends at 50 mph/80 km/h and retracts
at 19 mph/30 km/h.
So If I'm driving and it's already up, and I press the button to raise it -- then it basically just reverts to manual mode?

That is correct. However if you go over 75 again then its back to auto...pretty sure!
