Default Jacking up the TC (need help soon please)

I have a flat tire and I'm trying to jack the car up, I have the jack but I can't find the bar that you insert into the jack so you can actually jack it up (so you can turn it). I know the instructions are in the owners manual but I can't find it.

Please someone help.

the curved/angled bar that you connect to the jack to raise/lower it is in the little black styrfoam thing. Its the longest bar in there and sits diagnal. it has a little hook thingy at the end

Its even more fun using an isometric lift. I have to position it EXACTLY right to get the lift points to swing under the car and mate with the jacking points!

Anyway, that was off topic a bit.. get to the dealer and get the jack peices for next time, glad you got it to work this time!!

I didn't even release I had to jack the car up in a certain stop. I just put my head under the car and lined the jack up with the frame.

For some reason my tire is loosing air really slowly, I took it completely off the car and checked for nails or anything stuck in the tire and I couldn't find it. I also sprayed the entire tire with soapy water to check for leaks and couldn't find anything.

so, I went to sleep, woke up 6 hours later and the tire was about 14PSI low.

I tryed some stop leak a few hours ago, hopefully that'll take care of the slow leak.
