Auto Spoiler
Re: Auto Spoiler
On my '04 coupe, the spoiler goes up at 58 and down at 38. You only have to cross 58 for a fraction of a second and its up and it stays up until you slow below 38 or push the switch to manually lower it. In my previous job, I had to drive 15 miles on a twisty back country road to get to work. Slowing and speeding up on that road with the spoiler controlled automatically made it look like a flapping wing. I got tired of listening to it and started manually raising it as I left.
Re: Auto Spoiler
My wing goes up sooner if I have the throttle floored, than if I was accelerating slowly. Makes a difference of upper 50's to lower 60's. Don't think it matters much exactly what mph it goes up at, I wouldn't think, so long as it does.
Something I noticed with my xf, is there is an extra "push" when I push the throttle all the way to the floor. It goes smoothly until the very last , oh I don't know, maybe 1/2", then it's almost like I have to push harder to get past that spot to get it to the floor. Has anyone else experienced that?
That's probably the point of FORGET GOOD GAS MILEAGE, LOL!

@RickB, when I drive on similar routes you described I push the button and the wing stays up all the time (no flapping). But don't forget to deploy it manually after.
