* Under the car: This is the most common location for a full-size spare. You'll usually need to use a wrench to lower it. Look underneath the trunk area.
* In the trunk: Some models might have a smaller, temporary spare stored inside the trunk, possibly under the carpeting or in a dedicated compartment.
To be certain:
1. Check your owner's manual: This is the best resource. It will explicitly show the location and any instructions for accessing the spare.
2. Look in the trunk carefully: Examine all areas, including under the carpeting and any storage compartments.
3. Look under the car: If you can't find it in the trunk, carefully inspect the underside of the vehicle, particularly near the rear.
If you don't have an owner's manual, you may be able to find a PDF version online by searching for "1999 Ford Fiesta owner's manual".
