I'm pretty sure the owner's manual has some diagrams.
Basically if you're changing the oil, you can get away with just lifting the front.
Look for a small bump with a hole in it in the dead center of the car ... that's the jacking point in the front
you can use jack stands on the frame of the car (where you jack for changing a flat) where you see the 2 notches.
But like I said, I'm fairly sure it's in the owner's manual

That's where I jack mine up.

I use this diagram that's been posted already for all my jacking / jack-standing needs. There are no covers in the way, this diagram works perfectly.
Don't forget to use chocks on your wheels.
