Is the Leiling equipped with a full-size spare tire?

Toyota Leiling's spare tire is not full-size. A full-size spare tire has the exact same specifications as the other four tires on the vehicle, allowing it to temporarily replace any tire that is temporarily or permanently unusable. Below are the steps for removing a tire: 1. Turn counterclockwise to loosen and clockwise to tighten. 2. Loosen the tire by turning counterclockwise, unscrewing each bolt one by one, and use a jack to partially lift the vehicle. 3. When using the jack, note that there are several slots on both sides of the vehicle's undercarriage for placing the jack. Ensure the jack is placed within these slots to avoid accidents. 4. Once the jack is raised, the loosened bolts can be easily removed one by one, allowing the entire tire to be taken off, completing the tire removal process. Below are precautions for removing a tire: 1. When removing a tire, first loosen the fixing bolts before using the jack to partially lift the vehicle. 2. Direction of force when removing tire bolts: counterclockwise to loosen; clockwise to tighten. 3. When using the jack, place it within the slots on both sides of the vehicle's undercarriage.
As a long-time Corolla owner, I need to clarify that the spare tire has never been full-sized. It's a compact spare specifically designed for temporary use, like getting you to a repair shop after a flat. I've used it a few times—remember not to exceed 80 km/h since the smaller tire size significantly reduces stability. Don't neglect it during routine maintenance; check the pressure monthly or you'll regret finding it flat when needed. The space-saving design is a plus, freeing up trunk space, but never treat it as a permanent solution. Always inspect the spare before long trips—safety comes first.
