How to Remove the Spare Tire of a Ford Edge?
1 Answers
The spare tire of the Ford Edge is located under the trunk cover. Simply open the trunk cover and take it out. Precautions for using the spare tire are as follows: 1. Regularly inspect the spare tire. During routine maintenance or before long-distance trips, few car owners check the spare tire, and some unprofessional repair shops often overlook this. Spare tire inspection mainly involves checking tire pressure, wear, and cracks. Replace the tire as soon as possible if the tread wears down to the wear indicator line. If there are fine cracks on the tire sidewall, avoid using it for long-distance or high-speed driving, as the sidewall is thinner and prone to blowouts at high speeds. 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 contaminated with oil, promptly wash it off with a neutral detergent. 3. The lifespan of a spare tire is about 4 years. Since tires are rubber products, prolonged storage can lead to aging. Generally, the aging period for tires is about 4 years, so the spare tire should be replaced after this period.
