BYD Song's spare tire is located under the trunk cover. Precautions for using the spare tire include: 1. Pay attention to speed when using the spare tire; 2. Avoid prolonged use of the spare tire; 3. Regularly maintain the spare tire; 4. Replace the spare tire periodically; 5. Avoid contact between the spare tire and oil products. Taking the 2021 BYD Song as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4600mm, width 1830mm, height 1700mm, with a wheelbase of 2660mm. The 2021 BYD Song features a front McPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 160PS, maximum power of 118kW, and maximum torque of 245Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
When I took my BYD Song on a road trip, I specifically researched the spare tire location—it's under the trunk floor panel. After opening the tailgate, lift the floor panel to see the spare tire secured in the spare tire well, with tools like the jack and wrench placed beside it. The temporary spare is narrower than the original tire, so be cautious not to exceed 80 km/h when using it. I remember once getting a flat on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway—if I hadn’t known the location beforehand, I wouldn’t have been able to retrieve it. Spare tires left unused for long periods may lose air, so I check the tire pressure every six months. After changing a tire, remember to get the original one repaired as soon as possible for safety.
Having driven the BYD Song for three years, the spare tire is actually quite easy to locate. Just open the trunk cover, lift the black felt floorboard directly, and you'll find that round, flat guy secured in the groove. There's a fixing bolt in the center of the spare tire—turn it counterclockwise to remove it. However, this compact spare is only for emergencies. Once, after installing it, I felt the steering become unstable after driving just fifty kilometers. I recommend fellow drivers not to treat it as a regular tire and to remember to check if the fixing bolt is rusted in place. Otherwise, it would be quite awkward if you couldn’t remove it in an emergency.
