How to Put the Spare Tire in a Ford Edge?

Ford Edge spare tire installation method is as follows: 1. First, open the trunk, then lift the trunk floor and place the spare tire inside; 2. Finally, tighten the spare tire locking knob. Notes on spare tire usage: 1. Regularly inspect the spare tire. During routine maintenance or before long trips, few car owners check the spare tire, and some unprofessional repair shops often overlook this. Spare tire inspection mainly involves checking tire pressure and for any wear or cracks. Replace the tire as soon as possible once the tread wears down to the wear indicator line. 2. Do not store oil products with the spare tire. The main component of tires is rubber, which is most vulnerable to erosion by various oil products. Car owners often store lubricants and other oil products in the trunk. If these oils come into contact with the tire, they can cause swelling and corrosion, significantly reducing the tire's lifespan. If the tire gets stained with oil, promptly wash it off with a neutral detergent. 3. The lifespan of an unused spare tire is about 4 years.
