The invention relates to a system comprising a computer, a processor and memory for storing instructions executable by the computer to determine if a spare wheel is installed/present in the vehicle based at least in part on its pressure, and actuate a vehicle subsystem in the event that the spare wheel is installed. The system may comprise instructions to determine a first reading upon activation and may include an instruction to further determine a second pressure reading after a period of time after activation and activate a vehicle subsystem if the second pressure reading is greater than the first pressure reading. The vehicle subsystem may be at least a means of propulsion, a braking system, a steering system, a speed limiter, and a navigation system. Additionally, the system may actuate the vehicle propulsion and steering to move the vehicle to the nearest repair destination in the event that the second reading is lower than the first.
