Amazon RDS - multi AZ

I want to take a multi AZ RDS db instance with Amazon. But from their FAQs or guidelines I cannot find if I can select a specific AZ for the standby DB. I understand that the secondary DB will be in the same Region. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to select the AZ of the stand by ?

When you select Multi-AZ deployment for the RDS instance, Amazon will manage the Master and Slave placement within the defined VPC.

This is because, when a failure happens, AWS is able to promote the secondary instance as master to handle the requests, while other database failovers.

Note: You are only able to select the Availability Zone if you are provisioning a single instance.
