Where is the jack placed in the Envision?

The jack of the Envision is placed in the car's toolbox and is used to lift the vehicle body when changing the spare tire. Screw Jack: The screw jack relies on its own threaded structure to self-lock and support the vehicle, with a much higher supporting weight than the rack jack. However, the lifting efficiency of this type of jack is relatively slow, but it descends quickly, so safety precautions are necessary during use. Rack Jack: This type of jack is the most common vehicle tool. The rack jack consists of three parts: the rack, gear, and rotating mechanism. It relies on the rotating mechanism to turn the rack, lifting the jack's support part to raise the vehicle. It is compact in size and easy to store.
When I first bought my Enclave, I was also wondering where the jack was hidden! Open the trunk, lift the large floor cover, and you'll usually see the spare tire securely placed inside. The jack and wrench tools are tucked into the grooves next to the tire or under the mat. Having driven for over a decade, I always check these tools before every trip to avoid chaos in case of a flat tire. Remember to clear out any clutter in the trunk before retrieving them, or they can be hard to find. Some older models might have slightly different locations, but generally, they're around here. A safety tip: always park the car securely and engage the handbrake before using the jack. New drivers can find detailed diagrams in the owner's manual—it's quite handy.
As an enthusiast who often helps friends with car repairs, I find the Envision's jack design quite reasonable—it's mostly located in that dedicated slot under the trunk floor. After lifting the cover, it's usually wrapped or secured together with the spare tire. Once when a tire blew out on the road, I easily retrieved the tools from there, making sure the ground was level and firm during installation. I recommend everyone check the tool kit occasionally to prevent dust from clogging its position. Also, some models might have it in a small side compartment, but just carefully explore the floor area. Avoid piling too much clutter in the trunk, or you'll be in a real pinch when you actually need it.
