    I have been sifting through this forum looking for a visual guide on where to jack up the gen 2 Prius but it left me with more questions than answers. I have seen the diagrams but I'm still confused. Is there a video showing step-by-step instructions on how to do this? This will be the first time jacking up any car and I just want to learn the right way.

    Use rhino ramps. The front jack point on these cars are way back, just in front of the firewall. If you really need to jack up the car; drive it up on the ramps - you'll then have a clear view of the jack point. If you rely on someone else to steer you in, your jack may slip and do some major damage.

    Hope this helps.....
