Good Afternoon Ronlaw777,
 
To the best of my knowledge none of the Crossfires have spare tires. I am going to speculate that they don't as the front tires are 18 inch and the back are 19 inch and if there were room for a spare tire, one would technically need two of the different sizes.
 
I believe I read in this forum that they are run flats (do I have that worded correctly? or is that flat runs?). I can't verify this but I am sure one of the forum contributors will clarify. Additionally, beneath the carpeted area in the trunk you should find a couple of cavities that contain a canister/applicator that is for use when you get a flat. Exactly what the canister contains is beyond me. Having said that, I am curious if tires that are filled with nitrogen can accept the contents of the canister? Perhaps someone can clarify this.
 
Something of note: My tires are filled with nitrogen and they came with a warranty. This summer I ran over a screw and took it to the dealership immediately. They repaired the tire and the fee was covered under the nitrogen warranty - a lovely surprise. (footnote- you have to take your car to the dealership where you purchased the nitrogen warranty or it will not be covered).
 
I hope this information is helpful,
Cheryl

I have not been able to find run-flats in the sizes the Crossfire requires. There is a doughnut type temporary spare on the Mercedes counterpart but have never been able to confirm it could be used on the Crossfire. The only answer to a flat I have found is the pump/gunk Chrysler provides with a cell phone and AAA as back-up.

It is to be put in the dipstick tube. I would NOT do it that way if I were you. Just drain it, I do on mine. EASY.

Why not? I know several Crossfire owners (including myself) that use
the oil extractors. I know the big debate is that the extractors really don't
remove all the gunk on the bottom of the pan, etc. But since I learned that
all the Mercedes dealers are using the extractor, I figure that's O.K. with me.

2004 Crossfire (positive) battery cable by bob_mcc
Nov 21, 2009 (12:28 pm)

My wife's Crossfire would not start and the Spoiler extended when she turned on the ignition. I checked out the battery and found the positive lead at the battery was severely corroded, even to the point that the insulation had split and the stranded wires had greatly expanded. So, to disconnect the opposite end of the cable requires removal of a plastic shield.
 
The question is...how to disconnect the shield without damage?
