Not correct. You should use the rear jack points - that are located under the engine under-tray. The problem is that you need to lift the car to get the under-tray off to get to the lift points that you need to lift the car. A nice Catch-22.
Next time my car comes off the ground (the brake bleed is due real soon now), I'll back it up on ramps, drop the under-tray, and put it back on the ground. Then jack one side, install two jackstands, and the repeat on the other side. Repeat as necessary to get it up high enough to meet the necessary work height.
The problem is that those that don't know, would thing that the two jack points in front of the rear wheels are the lift points - they are not. They are where you lift one side of the car for a tire change - no the whole car.
