Where do you put the jack under a Honda CR-V?

To jack up a Honda CR-V, you need to locate the jack points on the vehicle. Here are the steps to follow:
1. Find a level spot to park your vehicle.
2. Chock the wheels on the side of the CR-V that will remain on the ground.
3. Locate the jack points on the CR-V.
4. Place the jack under the CR-V and raise the vehicle until the wheel is clear of the ground.
It’s important to note that the Honda CR-V is built on a unibody platform, so there is no frame rail to jack from. Instead, you will need to find the pinch welds on the bottom of the car and place the jack there. Using any other spot can damage the vehicle’s body and cause the vehicle to slip off the jack.
Always make sure you are lifting your car on a flat surface to prevent it from rolling off the jack. Additionally, follow the directions for changing a tire exactly and never get under the vehicle when it is supported only by the jack .
If you’re having trouble getting the jack out of your CR-V, it’s recommended to consult the owner’s manual or contact roadside assistance for assistance.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
