Where is the jack located on the LaCrosse?

The jack of the LaCrosse is located under the trunk mat. Configuration of the LaCrosse: Features such as an openable panoramic sunroof, LED lights, multi-layer soundproof glass, an 8-inch touch screen, smartphone connectivity, vehicle networking, and OTA upgrades are all standard. The Avenir flagship version additionally includes a HUD head-up display, adjustable suspension stiffness, rear multimedia controls, front and rear seat heating, ventilation, massage functions, and rear independent air conditioning. Powertrain of the LaCrosse: It is equipped with the eighth-generation Ecotec 2.0T variable cylinder turbocharged engine, model LSY, with a maximum rated power of 174 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, paired with a 9AT transmission. The official 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 7.5 seconds.
I've been driving my LaCrosse for eight years, so I'm very familiar with the jack's location. Just lift the trunk mat and you'll see the spare tire well - the jack is secured in the foam mold next to the spare tire, stored together with the L-shaped wrench. If it's a newer model without a spare tire, the jack is hidden under the side storage compartment cover. When retrieving it, remember to clear the trunk clutter first - last time my friend got stuck trying to remove tools because of a child safety seat. Always use it on solid ground, and locate the four triangular marks on the chassis for proper support points. Jacking at wrong positions may deform the chassis steel plate. It's wise to keep anti-slip gloves in the car - the jack handle tends to slip when turning it on rainy days.
What I fear most during a road trip in my LaCrosse is a flat tire halfway, so I've specifically researched the jack location. It's usually under the trunk floorboard, strapped together with the spare tire, and the wrench is clipped in a nearby groove. For the Touring or hybrid models, it might be in the left-side mesh storage pocket. Once when changing a tire on National Highway 318, I found my newly purchased camping gear blocking the jack—now I always check for clear access before setting off. Also worth noting: the factory-provided scissor jack has a maximum capacity of 1.5 tons, sufficient for sedans but don't use it for SUVs. When stowing, remember to screw the adjustment rod to its lowest position to avoid puncturing the trunk liner.
