I think the jacking points are covered in the owner's manual pretty well. If I remember correctly, they are oval-shaped openings that mate with the OEM jack and are located at either end of the rocker panels inboard of the wheels.

Some aftermarket suppliers offer an adaptor for a standard floor jack that allows you to take advantage of the openings for alignment/retention and to avoid the jack cradle (or cup) from crimping bodywork under the car. If you need to do the work right away you might want to either use the jack supplied with the car until you can get the adaptor or figure out a suitable replacement/spacer block to do the same with the floor jack.

If you cook something up for the floor jack, let us know what you did!
