Audi A7 Rear Spoiler

[soziblewuup]

Hi there, I bought an Audi A7 today. The inner child in me felt as though I needed the spoiler permanently raised on the way home (I personally think it looks better). I activated the manual override for the spoiler as instructed by the manual; however, once you reach 90mph (the speed the spoiler is automatically raised) the manual override light switches off. This means that in each instance you slow down to 40/50mph after reaching 90mph the spoiler is once again retracted, even though the manual override button was active before reaching 90mph.
Does anyone know why this happens? Or have a solution?
This is only a minor annoyance, but I'd be grateful for any help.

Thanks for the information. Secondly, i'm not sure if that was meant to be a dig at me, but no I like the spoiler for the reason that it's subtle and adds to the curves of the car. The rear end just flows for me with the curved spoiler. But, as I said, it isn't an issue.

Thanks.

I'm glad you've all managed to weigh in with your anti-spoiler opinions. I thought i'd sign up to this forum for some simple technical, objective advice on something i was curious about. I didn't want the car police to give me their subjective opinion on whether they liked it or not.
Anyway, have a good day!

Thanks for the response. Yeah I'm not that bothered about it to start messing around with stuff. I'll just keep it in automatic mode then.

well one solution would be to drive below 90mph.....

True, but where's the fun in that!
