Where is the car jack located in the trunk?
1 Answers
Car jacks are generally placed underneath the spare tire in the trunk, with designated mounting positions. These are located along the protruding long edges on both sides of the vehicle's underbody, where there are several reinforced areas specifically designed for jack placement. Here's additional information: 1. Passenger cars: For family vehicles, the support points are typically on the inner side of the side skirts, approximately 20 cm behind the front wheels and 20 cm in front of the rear wheels, capable of withstanding relatively high pressure. Incorrect operation, such as placing the jack on chassis steel plates, bumpers, or crossbeams, may cause the side skirts to deform, resulting in unnecessary damage to the chassis. 2. Precautions: When using a jack, ensure the car is parked on a safe and level surface with the brakes engaged. Additionally, pay attention to the jack's maximum load capacity and never exceed it to prevent accidents due to insufficient support.
