RTFM!!!! It's in your owners manual. the spot should be about 6 inches behind the front tire. There should be a slot that the jack fits into.

You can clear your headlights without a jack. I did.

It's been so long since I did it. I just followed the DIY on this site. I didn't even take the bumper all the way off. Just set some blankets down and let the bumper rest on them. I remember that I didn't take off the clips holding the bottom part of the bumper to the car.


I hope this post makes sense. I am tired and in a hurry.

Put your hand on the bottom center of the bumper and feel your way backwards about half a foot. There is a circular metal landing pad that you can use to jack up the entire front end of the car.

htown has got it right, its not the ones behind the wheels,s a center one

yeah, what htown said...the plasic peice under the front bumper (that is, on the bottom of the car) should have an arrow pointing to the jack point. just make sure you place the jack carefully cause if the jack for some reason fell off that point with the car jacked up, it would most likely land on the engine which could cause lots of damage.

I don't want to be mean or anything, but you do get a manual and all that information is in there. also if you look under your car, it says so there! If you followed the DIY for clearing your lights, it says nothing of jacking up your car. If you paid attention to all of those things then you wouldn't have to ask us. Sorry for the venting, just my opinion.

sory but im a noob i dont know much. if the spot is in the manual i havent found it, i only found one for spare tire change. And in the DIY step 2 and on it says 'requires the car to be on jack stands' thus jacking up the car to fit the stands in (i also cant fit under the car to remove all that screws and stuff b4 the bumper). If there is a way to clear without using a jack please tell me.

btw thx for the info everyone.

As far as changing flats, i believe there are spots under the doors, metal ones, that are meant for the jack...correct me if im wrong.
