Thread: D2 Jack location ??

Lift the bonnet, remove the battery cover on the driver's side and you should see it. The jack handle, wheel brace and lock nut tool should be in the rear door or rear side pocket. Should also be detailed in the owner's manual.

Its in the engine compartment under a plastic hood with the battery. The jack arms should be in a black bag in the back door pocket.

Not a particularly convenient location, but at least it comes out warm if you have to use it during winter!!

Dang! Beat me to it!

Also make sure you chock a wheel and have the jack located snugly under the axle.

Doesnt it actually fit into the nicks in the front a rear control arms? Thats where I thought you jack from...

Thanks all. Very logical location of course - mmmm not! It's all there so hubby can get to work!

a crying lil feeding machine on my hands here if he's not fed there and then... sometimes it's quicker to type for me than look for books and load a CD *lol*

thanks again

Technically yes.

I find a better location to be in the hollow of the radius arms directly under the axle. Mind you, I've never tried it there with a flat tyre.

Yes, but I thought that was a little hard to explain.
