Where is the support point for changing the spare tire on the Envision?

The support point for changing the spare tire on the Envision is located inside the car's toolbox. Exterior dimensions: The Envision measures 4686 mm in length, 1839 mm in width, and 1691 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2750 mm. Powertrain: The Envision is equipped with two engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Suspension configuration: The Envision features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. The multi-link suspension enhances the vehicle's handling and ride comfort. It is an improved version based on the double-wishbone suspension, where the two wishbones are replaced with separate links.
I remember when helping a friend deal with the air leakage issue on the Envision, I always emphasized that the jacking point for changing the spare tire is located at the groove on the chassis longitudinal beam, usually marked with a diamond symbol or a raised point. Find the rear or front edge near the tire and use a flashlight to clearly identify the position—never jack directly under the door side or plastic covers, as this could deform the body. Before operating, ensure the vehicle is parked on level ground, the parking brake is engaged, and the jack is aligned with the groove to lift steadily, protecting the body and ensuring safety. Every time I change a tire, I first check the vehicle’s user manual, which has detailed diagrams to avoid mistakes that could lead to accidents. Safety first—don’t rush, take your time.
As a beginner learning to change tires, after trying a few times on the Envision, I found that the support points are hidden in those small notches on the underbody longitudinal beams, usually marked on the metal area near the wheel rim. It's easy to get confused during the first attempt, so extra attention is needed: the ground must be level, and using a wooden block or rubber pad to help align the jack with the point is advisable. Never jack up on suspension components or plastic body parts, as the car could collapse and cause injury. I always recommend checking the manual first to avoid blind operation, which saves time and prevents accidents. If you don't have all the tools, it's best to call for roadside assistance rather than forcing it—safety comes first.
