2 Answers
Methods for taking out the spare tire from the trunk: Hidden spare tire: 1. Lift the trunk floorboard; 2. Unscrew the fixing device; 3. Remove the spare tire. Rear-mounted spare tire: 1. Open the anti-theft lock; 2. Rotate and remove the protective cover; 3. Use a socket or wrench to unscrew the fixing nut; 4. Remove the spare tire. Undercarriage-mounted spare tire: 1. Remove the dust cover to see a screw; 2. Connect the socket to the screw; 3. Rotate the socket counterclockwise, and the spare tire will slowly descend under the steel cable; 4. Pull down the steel cable and remove the lower clip. The spare tire is an extra tire used when the car tire leaks or bursts, providing a temporary solution.
I used to get confused when changing a spare tire too, but later figured out the process. First, open the trunk and clear out any clutter, then lift the floor mat to reveal the spare tire secured by a metal bracket. The vehicle's tool kit includes a specialized wrench—use it to loosen the large central bolt by turning counterclockwise. Don’t unscrew it completely; just enough to wiggle the spare tire free. For some cars, the spare is stored underneath, so crouch down to locate the locking mechanism on the chassis and release it with an L-shaped hook. When removing, grip the edges firmly to avoid dropping the tire on your foot. A final reminder: spare tires are often underinflated, so check the pressure before use. If you ever need it on the road, a portable air pump is far better than panicking.
