How to Remove the Spare Tire of Dongfeng Nissan Sylphy?
2 Answers
Here are the specific steps to replace the spare tire for the Dongfeng Nissan Sylphy: 1. Park the car on a flat and solid surface, and turn on the hazard lights. In case of rain, snow, or fog, place a triangular warning sign about 100 meters behind the car. 2. Loosen the screws of the tire that needs to be replaced, then use a jack to lift the car. 3. After lifting the car, remove all the screws from the tire and replace it with the new one. 4. After installing the new tire, slightly tighten the screws, then lower the car. 5. Once the car is lowered, fully tighten all the screws on the tire to complete the spare tire replacement. Here are some important notes regarding tires: 1. Regularly check the tire pressure, which is usually around 2.5 bar. 2. Always inspect the tires before driving on highways. If any damage is found, repair or replace them promptly to prevent safety hazards. 3. When replacing tires, it is best to use original equipment manufacturer (OEM) tires to ensure quality. 4. If modifying tires and rims, make sure to register the changes with the vehicle management office.
As a long-time Nissan Sylphy driver, when I experienced a tire blowout on the highway last time, I immediately pulled over to the emergency lane with hazard lights on. Then I opened the trunk and lifted the floor mat to find the spare tire secured beneath the panel. There's a central metal bolt that can be loosened counterclockwise using the 10mm wrench from the toolkit (stored in the foam compartment), which releases the spare. The Sylphy usually comes with a space-saver spare, so I gently pulled it out and set it aside before jacking up the car for replacement. The whole process took 10 minutes – the key is familiarizing yourself with tool locations beforehand. Safety reminder: Signal right before stopping, and always check spare tire pressure after retrieval to avoid issues. During routine maintenance, I habitually inspect the fixing bolt tightness to prevent rattling noises from luggage compartment items.
