the spoiler, also called an air dam reduces rear end lift by disrupting the airflow over the top and back of the car and thus reducing the tendency to lift at higher speeds. It is different than a wing which provides actual downforce.

Do a search and there are a couple of threads on this subject.

BTW, the spoiler will automatically go up around 75 mph and go back down around 50 mph
This is in the manual

Did you just get the car?
An intro with picture would be nice before posting questions
