Default easy 2000 a6 owners manual question

I am a brand new member with a 2000 audi a6. I have lost my owners manual (it is possible I never had it when I bought the car used) and was wondering if someone could upload the one page from the owners manual showing the jack points as I want to be sure I am lifting the car properly.

Thank you.

If you look along the side behind the front wheel well and in front of the rear wheel well, you should see little indentations in the rocket panel that indicate the jack points for the OEM jack.

Look closely under the steering column. If your car is the same as mine, there's a little slot under there that houses your owner's manual. Kind of hard to find the first time, so look carefully! Took me a long time before I realized I did in fact have my owner's manual, good luck!

from rocker, just behind wheel wells, reinforced place where the jack cna grab the rail, and fit in a pocket.

Same rear.

Also good to lift directly under any suspension attachment point, where it meets the frame. e.g.: bolts on steel bracket at front lower control arm; under rear A-arm, etc. Those support the car all day long.

I use a rubber hockey puck to protect the car.

This was exactly where the owners manual was located. I never would have known without this tip. Thank you.
