How to remove the spare tire of Audi Q3?

Audi Q3's spare tire removal method: Open the trunk of the car, lift the luggage mat to see the spare tire, then unscrew the fixing bolts of the spare tire to remove it. The spare tires used in cars are usually non-full-size, although some models provide full-size spare tires. Non-full-size spare tires are smaller in specification and differ from the four regular tires on the car. The driving speed with a spare tire should not exceed 80 kilometers per hour, otherwise there is a risk of tire blowout. The Audi Q3 is an SUV based on the same PQ35 platform as the Volkswagen Tiguan, positioned below the Q7 and Q5 in the Audi model lineup to distinguish it from Volkswagen models. The Audi Q3 has been tuned for more dynamic driving performance and features a luxurious and distinctive appearance, equipped with adaptive dampers similar to those used in the TT.
I've changed the spare tire on my Audi Q3 a few times, and it's actually quite straightforward. First, open the trunk and lift up the floor mat to reveal the spare tire compartment. The spare is secured by a large central bolt - just use the wrench from the vehicle tool kit to loosen it. The spare sits quite deep, so it's wise to get someone to help lift it out to avoid straining your back. The tool kit is usually in a small drawer on the side wall of the trunk (took me ages to find it last time). When removing the spare, lift gently and store the cover properly to prevent loss. Always ensure the car is parked on level ground with the parking brake engaged - safety first.
