I believe it fits into a little well in the right-rear corner of the trunk area under the carpet. Wouldn't be surprising if you didn't have one, they frequently go astray over the years (mine didn't come with one either, or a tire iron).

Air compressors are pretty cheap, you can just plug 'em into the ciggy lighter.

IIRC, it's supposed to be in the spare tire well. Do you have your options sheet? Mine had the "no compressor" option listed right on it, so I'd check that out.

Mine is in the passenger rear storage compartment. They get lost in transition between owners, tool kits usually suffer the same fate. Do you have a tool kit?

Neither of my cars came with one...I picked up a like-new one at hershey a few years ago for $75. Put it in my car when I went to Hershey this year.

Bet it was sold somewhere along the way. Most people will sale them, owners manual, tool kit and so on. That way they get a few extra $$$ out of the car when they sell it.
