Default Rear Wing Constantly in Up Position

How do you keep the wing in up position all the time? When I manually turn it on at a start, it eventually goes back into auto mode to where it only pops up at speed. I know there is a way to override this mode and have it up all the time. Appreciate your help on this!

Might be a longshot, but try holding the wing button on the lower dash for a few seconds?

Put the wing in up position. Go to your settings menu on left side of main gauge cluster and turn off auto wing.

yeah as ROK said. put the wing up and then use the steering wheel to navigate to the wing settings and change it to "off". I did this on mine and it is always up...even when the car is turned off.

on a related subject.


what speed does your wing go up?




the manual says "around 50 mph" mine actually doesn't go up until 56mph, which IMO is not "around 50" and it's always 56mph, I've watched it and the instant I hit 56 it goes up, and then back down exactly at 25 mph.


I've set the cruise at 55, and it won't go up, I've set the cruise at 26 and it won't go down.

Default I can't get it to go down

I can't get it to go down. I noticed it wouldn't go down even at lower speeds or at a stop. No error messages or blockage near the wing. I've tried pushing & holding the button already. Any ideas or something I'm overlooking?

I've read that several people have had that issue. I think it's some sort of computer reset that needs to be done by your dealer. Fortunately, I've not had that issue...or the fuel pump issue..or the squeaking brakes. Knock on wood.

If you can't get it down after 4 hours, go turn ON the wing on the cluster, and it'd now go down with the button.

Every 400-500 activations the motor runs through a self-test routine. Many of the motors have been applying too much torque during the test, and when this happens the wing stays open.

The ECU has been reengineered for the motor that operates the wing. Contact Lexus and have your motor replaced. It's a quick service.
