Where is the spare tire of the Sylphy located?

The spare tire of the Sylphy is located under the partition in the trunk of the car. Placing it here is convenient as it can be directly taken out when needed for replacement, and it does not occupy other storage space. A spare tire refers to an additional tire prepared for the car. In case of a flat tire or any issue with any of the wheels, the spare tire can be promptly replaced, preventing the car from breaking down midway. The Sylphy is a compact car under Dongfeng Nissan, with dimensions of 4641 mm in length, 1815 mm in width, and 1450 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2712 mm. In terms of suspension, the Sylphy features a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
I've been driving a Sylphy for five years, and the spare tire location is indeed quite hidden. You need to lift up the trunk floorboard and look for a circular cover near the seat area. Twist the central bolt firmly to remove it, then pull open the cover to access the spare tire. Remember there's a foam box next to the spare containing the jack and tool kit - this set can be neatly stored in the trunk compartment. I recommend checking the spare tire pressure monthly as it tends to lose pressure over time when unused. Note that this vehicle comes with a temporary spare (space-saver tire) which shouldn't exceed 80 km/h. When retrieving the spare, it's best to empty the trunk first - last time I found mine blocked by piled-up items.
