I looked for it the day I got my car, because it was used and you never know. Was surprised after looking in manual but I like it. Its unused space and leaves space in trunk for a duffel bag.

Interesting...I seem to have 2 jacks.

One below the driver seat, and one in the trunk behind the spare tire cover...

Still don't understand how people can't find it. The first thing I did when I got my car was to look through every nook and cranny of the car and make sure I had everything I needed and made sure to familiarize myself with the car. I even had a Toyota ice scraper in the lift. Go figure.

Rental Car in Costa Rica

Well, if you live in the US and speak English, you should be OK.
How about going to Costa Rica, getting a flat tire in one of these cars, rented the car for the week, and the manual is in Spanish. Oh yes, don't speak Spanish, I am a tourist.
So on Christmas eve we are traveling to our hotel, took a wrong turn, and the GPS took us up a dirt road which I should never have been on in the first place, thought it would change to a paved road, nope, 100% wrong. So half way us we pull over and someone drives by and tells us we have a flat tire. Yep, we sure do. Get out, unload the trunk of luggage, pull out the new spare, no Jack. So we figure since its a rental someone before us ripped the jack from the car.
A wonderful couple pulls up, has a canister of air and blows up the tire for us, and then again at the top of the hill before the paved road. There are some wonderful people left in this world.
We get to the hotel about 2 miles from the paved road, call Thrifty Rental and they tell me the jack is under the drivers seat. I ask them to send someone out to change the tire, they don't do that, its not the United States. So I take out the jack, and it was rather easy, but messy of course.
So if you are in a county that you speak the language OK, but if you have a rental car and the manual is in a foreign language you are SOL.

The Jack is actually located underneath the passengers seat, slide the seat forward, press in the two plastic clips you see on a plastic trim, remove and there is your Jack!

They must have moved it in the newer models because it's under the drivers seat in my '07.

Or Toyotasrus is posting from Dorset, which I believe is somewhere in Englishland, so the jack is still under the seat on the port side, i.e. left facing forward. So they didn't move the jack location in newer models, just re-defined which one is the driver's seat in his location ;)
