Tutorial for using the spare tire changing tools for the Tiguan L: 1. Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the frame of the tire that needs to be replaced, ensuring the jack touches the metal part of the frame; 2. Raise the jack until it supports (not lifts) the car, the jack should be positioned under the vehicle, check and ensure the jack is at a right angle to the ground; 3. Remove the hub cap, loosen the nuts in a counterclockwise direction; 4. Pump or turn the jack to lift the tire off the ground, raising it enough to remove the flat tire and install the spare tire; 5. Loosen all the nuts, turning them counterclockwise until they are loose; 6. Remove the tire; 7. Place the spare tire on the hub, aligning the spare tire rim with the wheel bolts, then install the lug nuts; 8. Tighten all the nuts; 9. Lower the car and remove the jack.
Speaking of the Tiguan L spare tire replacement tool tutorial, I've often helped friends deal with flat tires on the road and am quite proficient. First, find a safe spot to pull over, engage the parking brake, shift to P, and turn on the hazard lights to warn others. The tools are stored in the storage compartment under the trunk floor—take out the black foam box containing the small jack, wrench, and spare tire key. Use the wrench to loosen the wheel bolts counterclockwise without fully removing them to prevent the tire from falling off. Then locate the jacking point under the car, which is the metal protrusion behind the front wheel or in front of the rear wheel—make sure to align and stabilize the jack base to avoid slipping. Slowly crank the handle to lift the car just enough for the problematic tire to slightly leave the ground—don’t lift it too high, as it may become unstable. Next, fully loosen the bolts, remove the flat tire, and set it aside. Align the spare (smaller-sized) tire with the bolt holes, hand-tighten the bolts, lower the jack, and then use the wrench to tighten them diagonally in sequence for even pressure. Remember, the spare is temporary—don’t drive on it long-term, keep speeds under 80 km/h, and head straight to a repair shop for a new tire to avoid delays and accidents. The whole process takes about 15 minutes—safety first, and wearing gloves is recommended to keep clean.
