Where are the safe spots to place a jack to lift the car and place jack stands while I rotate the tires?

There are small cutouts on the lower body seam the owners manual shows the locations for jacking.

I had an issue finding these too, the arrows that point at the jacking points are

actually on the plastic trim piece and parallel to the ground. Very hard to see, but

you can easily feel them with your hand about 8" from the wheel wells.

 

They point in at a reinforced metal strip that runs the length of the car just

a few inches from the arrows themselves. That strip fits into the slot on your

jack. Very important that you do not jack up the car other than at those spots.

 

The picture doesn't really show this well, seems like it should be visible

by just putting your head down there, but isn't. You almost need a small

mirror to see it. Your head would need to be on the ground to eyeball it.

My dealer squished the underside of my passenger side body panel by missing the jacking point when lifting the car during a service. It was kind of annoying.
