There are marks on the rocker panels for jacking points - little arrow
shaped things pointing down.

The only trouble is, you want to jack it and then put a jackstand in,
which you can't do in the same place.  So you need somewhere else.  The
best places are under the subframes (go right in from the center and
jack it, then put the jackstands at the rocker panel jackpoints), and at
the place where the control arms meet the subframes - a good place for a
stand or jack.

When it is up, give it a good shake - make sure it is stable an that you
can't wiggle the car at all.

Be sure to use chocks on the wheels while you are on the way up, of
course.
