Where is the spare tire located on the Volkswagen Routan?

Model: Volkswagen Routan MK 1 - Years 2009-2014
Part: Wheel

The spare tire on the Volkswagen Routan is located at the bottom of the vehicle, near the front seats. To access it, open the rear trunk and go to the left side of the cargo area: here, under the panel, you will find the tire replacement kit, which includes a socket wrench useful for accessing the tire. Next, go inside the cabin and remove the circular cover near the gear shift: underneath it, there will be a bolt that needs to be loosened to allow the tire to drop from the lower floor of the vehicle. Once the tire is detached, you can use it to replace one of the tires on the vehicle.
