Hey!
I wanted to do my first fix on the car,
So I bought a floor jack, and jack stands,
But was not really sure on where should I lift the car from, with a floor jack,
I know there are pinch weld points near the wheels, but I want to put 4 of my V jack stands there,
Furthermore, what should the correct order / steps of lifting the car be?
I don't want to die, because I did something stupid,
I have already checked the owner's manual, and there is only instructions for lifting from the pinch weld points..

Them points in the diagram look correct.

Re: Where are the correct jacking points for a floor jack in a Citroen C3 2014
I was referring to a point for a floor jack,
The points in the owner's manual are pinch welds,
In a case when you want to lift the car on all 4 'V' jack stands,
You can't use those.. therefore I ask for help in locating a different point.
Please let me know, where should I located the floor jack in that scenario?

Chassic rails are meant to be strong points, sub frame, i just use trolley jack on jack point then sit my car on sub frame. Other than that not sure of any other jacking points , the ones in the owners book as far as i know are correct, when cars go up on a lift chassis rails do get used along with the other jacking points the pinch weld points are strong and a cup with a slit in is used on a jack head so it sits properly.
