It's under the driver's seat. Check your manual for location and how to get it out. It can be a bit tricky.

But what really makes me laugh is that jinxor does not know the difference between the drivers side of the car and the passenger side of the car cause he does not correct WeeYari or tell him that here in Australia (where jinxor and i live) the jack is under the passenger seat. Typical Sydneysider..........

I don't know how many uses it has, however, it is the cheapest jack that I have ever used. I would never trust the jack enough to get under the car.

2004 Dodge Ram, 1988 Toyota Truck are two examples of jacks that exceeded the minimum requirement to lift the vehicle for a tire change.

I've never attempted to use the OEM jack on this car. I use aluminum racing jacks.

It's under the driver's seat. Move seat all the way forward to get a good look at it. And it's not a real great jack. I used mine once to put the spare on. I was on level ground and it didn't seem too stable. On a slope it'd probably start to bend like the one in my VW Golf did.

I've used the jack many times already to change and rotate tires. It's a cheap jack, but it does the job and there's nothing wrong with using it frequently as long as you use safe procedures like you should with any jack. |

I am wondering where is the thing you use to turn the jack. Its not in the factory location like the manual says unless I am blind. I am getting tired of using the lug wrench.

Yours might be missing. Mine was in the black box to the right of the spare tire.

On the sedan mine it was attached under the cover that goes over the spare tire. There was also a black bag with a socket wrench and the tow hook .
