Covered in the Owner Manual.....

Presume so. Don't have one, and my tsbelt lacks the free memory to download one. That is why I posedan my question here.

Don't download. Just look in one. https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/gene...s-manual-3074/

If you can't do that, you should really think about a new computer set up.

Best jacking points, look for the arrows in the running boards, then jack under the frame.

The arrows embossed under the doors don't help?

What is a tsbelt, and how could it limit viewing a small pdf file? I can view it on my semi-smart phone.

Front: There is a bar crossing under the radiator in front, I lift the front of mine there, not high, just enuff to do oil changes.

Rear, I slid my floor jack under in front of rear wheel, there is the rear swing arm & a bracket on it, I go there to lift that side, & visa-versa for other side. Never in middle in back.

Thanks, guys. You need to know that I am 72 years old and haven't bent down far enough to know that there are embossed arrows under the doors! I do not have running boards. As soon as it stops raining, I shall have a look. Thanks.

SS has no such arrows. I have had great success with using a hockey puck om top the jack to prevent damage. Being in Michigan, I expect you know those...

Then just jack from main mounts underneath. The front end of the rear trailing arm and rear cradle mount were typical for me, from what I recall. There is nothing in the middle of the rear that you can use, and I wouldn't recommend using the lower Rad support mentioned above, either. For the front, ramps are easiest for many things, but if you have to jack the whole thing up, go back to the crossmember that's near the back of the engine. It holds much better. Be safe.

Not using the front rad support, been using the frame cross bar for 9 years or so now.
