Slide the jack under your vehicle in the area of the jack point that you have chosen.

To raise one of the front wheels, position the jack just behind the wheel.

To raise one of the rear wheels, position the jack just in front of the wheel.

You can also raise both front (or both rear) wheels simultaneously, using a jack point midway between the front (or rear) wheels. Some vehicles have a dedicated jack point for this; in other cases you'll need to position the jack beneath the front or rear subframe.

Be sure to place the jack under the subframe exactly midway between the front (or rear) wheels.

Do not place the jack under the oil pan, radiator, steering rack, or other non-structural components.

When raising both rear wheels, you may be able to use the rear differential as a jack point. However, this is not always the case and may damage some vehicles—so consult your vehicle's documentation if you aren't sure.
