Default Where to place jack to change tire?

I know it may be a stupid question, but where do i place the jack to lift the car to change my tires?

The owners manual says there are arrows molded into the plastic....but I see no arrows anywhere under my car, and I need to put my winter tires on tonight!!!!

find the pinch weld, since that's usually one of the strongest and most secure areas to jack/lift a car on

Look along the pinch weld (at the bottom of the rocker panel). There will be a heavier piece of sheet metal, about 3-4 inches long, right in the weld seam aft of the front fender opening and another forward of the rear fender opening. They will have a bent-over lip. These are the jacking points.

Look on page 216 of your owners manual.

For the front just use the frame, and for the rear just use the diff.
