The Touareg with a spare tire is the first-generation Volkswagen Touareg. The first-generation Volkswagen Touareg was sold from 2002 to 2006. Method for inflating the spare tire on the Volkswagen Touareg: Unscrew the large plastic cover in the middle of the spare tire. Use the cover to loosen the long screw securing the spare tire, then remove the cover plate under the front passenger seat. Open the cover plate to access the inflation port for the spare tire. Screw the vehicle's provided hose onto the inflation port, and the dashboard screen should display the inflation symbol. Unscrew the metal cap on the spare tire's valve. Use the other end of the hose to inflate the spare tire. During inflation, ensure the side with text on the spare tire faces upward; the spare tire will gradually rise as it inflates. Monitor the inflation pressure, and once the spare tire expands, stabilize the pressure at 2.2 bar before stopping the inflation. Drive at speeds not exceeding 80 km/h and promptly repair the original tire. Use the metal cap on the spare tire's valve to unscrew the valve core (be cautious as pressure may cause it to fly off). After deflating, the spare tire will return to its compressed state. Reinstall the spare tire by reversing the steps. In 2002, the first-generation Touareg was launched and mass-produced. The first-generation Volkswagen Touareg was primarily equipped with 3.2L V6 and 4.2L V8 gasoline engines, delivering maximum power outputs of 220 horsepower with 305 Nm of torque and 310 horsepower with 410 Nm of torque, respectively.
