Subject:jack under driver's seat

To fit the jack under the front seat, just slide it all the way forward,
lift up the hatch and slide the jack in from the back. this is, of course,
assuming you don't have an aux. battery under there. the space under my
drivers seat contains jack, lug wrench, many assorted hand tools, hammer,
hatchet, jumper cables, bentley manual............
