The 2014 Cadillac XTS does not have a standard spare tire. Instead, it may include an air compressor and a tire sealant. If you need a spare tire, an optional replacement kit is available. To find the kit, open the trunk and look for a foam insert. Follow the installation instructions for using the tools included.
To remove the spare tire, unscrew the central bolt or fastener holding it in place. You will need a lug wrench and possibly a jack. Carefully lift the tire out, ensuring no tools are left behind. Place the spare tire near the flat tire for an efficient replacement process.
When replacing the flat tire, reverse the steps. Securely place the spare tire onto the wheel hub and tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern for even pressure. Lower the jack firmly and double-check the tire’s security.
Following these steps will ensure a smooth experience with the Cadillac XTS spare tire. In the next section, we will explore tire specifications and maintenance tips to ensure optimal performance and safety.
