Default Jacking point on 18 F-Sport?

Just where exactly do you place a floor jack to lift the front? The manual shows the illustration but, it's hard to see since the front sits so low. Any tips?

There are two metal spots near the front wheel and another one near the rear wheel. You will need to look under the car but it should a small cutout for it. I know my explanation is horrible but wont be able to take a pic until I leave work. Here is a diagram basically the red circled spots.

Thanks! I'll take a look. Didn't realize the RWD's sat so much lower in the front.

Oh, you're RWD. That makes sense now. The AWD has a front jack point on the transfer case cross member that lifts the whole front end. Guess the RWD wouldnt have that lol

RWD has the same cross member on the front to lift the car. It is a big nub. The diagram shows to lift from the nub and not from the engine oil pan!

i couldn't see it where the manual states it is located but, finally found it. It's a little bit of a reach with the floor jack but worked just fine. I just didn't realize how low it sat in the front. It has a good stance though.
