Homer Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 They're pulling your leg If you have the button this means you most likely have an active front spoiler fitted - do you still have the stock front bumper? The front spoiler deploys at 60mph (I think), the Auto-Off button stops the spoiler from deploying. The 'Down' button deploys the spoiler manually but this can only be done with the engine off and the ignition on '2'. If its flashing then you have a fault, either the spoiler has been removed or its getting stuck. (either of which should result in big error light on tach) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian W Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Yet I have an aftermarket spoiler...the person i bought it from changed it..ahhh that would be cool to have a active spoiler.. when you say you have an aftermarket spoiler, i immediately think the rear of the car. this active spoiler is on the front below the plastic rubber lip.

Ian W Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 ya its an aftermarket front spoiler...Man..I wonder what affects the active spoiler would of had.. off the top of my head slightly greater stability when cornering at high speed. i wouldn't worry about it too much mate, most people like it just for the look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Flashing active spoiler light means your car is about to explode, get out and run!!!!!1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 So, if the green light is flashing, you should have the big red warning triangle lit up on the dash too. This probably isn't a good idea as if it's on permanently, it won't alert you to new problems you might get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 At least you now have a switch already fitted that you can use for something else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
