Begin by placing the jack under the subframe behind the front passenger wheel. Leave enough room for the jack stand to be placed between the jack and front wheel.

Use the jack to raise the car enough to comfortably work under it.

Place the jack stand between the jack and front wheel.

Slowly lower the car until the jack stand supports the car and the jack does not. Remove the jack.

Many hydraulic jacks are lowered by placing the open end of the handle over a knob and turning it counterclockwise. Consult the owner's manual for your jack if you don't know how to lower it.

Never work underneath a car that is only supported by a jack. The jack may slip or fail, resulting in serious injury or death.
