How to Remove the Spare Tire of BYD Tang?
2 Answers
Here is the method to remove the spare tire of BYD Tang: 1. The spare tire of BYD Tang is located under the vehicle. Use the other end of the tire wrench to pry open a small round cover in the onboard toolbox. Inside, there is a pentagon screw. Use a specialized socket with a handle and turn it counterclockwise, and the spare tire will slowly descend. Keep rotating until the spare tire touches the ground, then rotate a few more times to loosen the steel cable. 2. Once the spare tire is on the ground, pull it out a bit to make it easier to remove the hanger. The hanger can be taken out when it is upright, and it locks the spare tire horizontally. At this step, the spare tire is successfully removed. The introduction of BYD Tang is as follows: 1. The fuel version is equipped with a BYD self-developed 2.0TI engine, code-named BYD487ZQA, featuring dual variable valve timing, dual balance shafts, and direct fuel injection technology, with a maximum power of 151kW and a peak torque of 320Nm. It is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. 2. The new generation Tang DM uses a 6-speed automatic transmission with an electronic gear shift, achieving a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 4.5/4.3 seconds.
Last time when helping my friend remove the spare tire from his BYD Tang, I found the whole process wasn't too complicated. First, you must park on level ground, engage the parking brake firmly, and ensure the vehicle is stable. Open the built-in tool kit in the trunk - it contains a dedicated wrench and jack for spare tire removal. The spare tire is mounted underneath the rear chassis; just look under the car to spot the hook-shaped mounting device. Use the wrench on the large nut, turning counterclockwise slowly - don't rush it. When halfway loosened, gently support the spare tire with the jack to prevent sudden drops that could cause injury. After the tire is safely lowered, carefully inspect its air pressure - otherwise changing it would be pointless. The entire process takes about 15 minutes, with safety being paramount. Never attempt this in rainy conditions or on slopes to avoid accidents.
