Yep - thats were its at. Thanks
The reason for putting the jack, tools and pump under the driver's seat is because of the extra load rails necessary in the US and 2 of them run right under the cargo area floor so the spare tire, if installed fits underneath.
If you look in the cargo area, on the floor, near the hatch opening lip, to the right side, you will see a plastic plug, remove that and the crank nut is accessible to lower the spare by using the jack handle so you can remove it and when you are putting away the original tire, you put it in the back of the car until you can get it repaired and re-installed, the spare is a limited use spare BTW and is optional.
