Ok I read through the owners manual and I cannot understand where they are telling you to jack up the car, I jack it up, but I am affraid I am putting it in the wrong spot.

If you're using a scissors type jack it goes about 4 inches behind the front wheel well or in front of the rear wheel well. YOu can tell it's in teh right spot because it's reinforced and there is a groove for the top of the jack to fit in. For a hydralic jack the front tow hook goes in the jack's lift cup. For the rear you'll see that the underbody comes to sort of a round point in the center about 3 feet forward of the rear bumper.

depends on what kind of jack are you using ?
best points for for jacking the whole front end or rear end ( using a hydrolick jack ! ) it is the base of the ring that you use to tow your car !
if you want one side you can jack it @ the lower are connection to the chasis ! ( needs experience ! )

using a jack like the one came with your car , there are 4 jackin points jusst like MIKE said ! :)
but don't work under your car with a jack like that !
