Default Is there a way to lock active spoiler in the up position?

I know you can push the button to extend/ retract the spoiler but at some point, it reverts back to automatic and it retracts. Is there a way to keep the spoiler up at all times, regardless of mode or speed?

I love the car but the back end just looks....plain without the spoiler up. I *almost * prefer the trunk lid spoiler on the RC 350 Sport to the plain look of the retracted spoiler of the RCF.

Yes, press the spoiler button to raise it up, then go to settings menu and turn off active spoiler function.

Oh my god LOL

Now I'm torn between leaving it up all the time or letting the auto active spoiler impress people behind me on the on ramp

I am glad to know others had the same question Here I was thinking I was asking a total noob question Granted, the answer is so simple and obvious...yet one I probably never would have figured out on my own

Guess Im the odd man out. Id rather have drivers around me see the thing raise up when I hit 55 Mph.
Another cool feature of this unique car.

Agreed! But I do admit that I will leave it up occasionally.
