The jack stand are supposed to go in the jack points. It's not clear if putting them randomly under the frame will not damage the frame. There are 2 center jacking points, one on the front (where a metal plate protrudes from the plastic underside), one at the back, at the center of the subframe.

The rear subframe is another good place to install jack stands.
sorry i misspoke, not scissor jacks, i meant double locking jack stands.

so i should use the Y shaped locking jack stands on the 4 jack points?
