the jack support cup should be positioned under a solid point on the car body or chassis.
often the car manufacturer specifies designated lifting points. these lifting points are shown in the corresponding service information and/or vehicle owners manual. positioning the jack at a non - designated lift point is dangerous and could cause damage to the vehicle.
