Rear spoiler question

I understand that the rear spoiler is raised above 75 mph and this is to help stabilize the car. How do you know if the rear spoiler is up? I tried to look in the rear view mirrow but could not see it. If it is not up and I am going 100 mph will I loose control?

I think you will get a warning message if the spoiler failed to deploy when it's supposed to.

I see its leading edge in my rearview mirror. If you do not see it, use another mirror, place it high and you see it, or use your cell phone, placed high, to take a pic shooting rewards.

LOL, no you will not lose control if it does not deploy at 100mph. If you don't trust that its going up even though you can't see it, have a buddy follow you for a visual...

Or have a buddy film it for you so you can see it raises.

If the spoiler does NOT deploy properly, you will get a warning on the dash.

And then your car will explode 5 seconds later.
