The lifting points identified in the Owner's Manual (at least in mine) are all at chassis points, which are the preferred lifting points. Pucks are used at the lifting points under the side frame rails & are required to provide spacing so that the jack or lift pads do not contact & damage the rocker panels. Avoiding that damage is probably why the manual does not list the side rails as lifting points.

Because the cars came with runflats and no jack, there was no need to identify how to jack up individual portions and therefore mention things like pucks. The lift points are for whole car lifts and/or front and rear.

No offense to those selling them, but the pucks are kind of a gimmick.

If the dealer has the 2-post lifts with the rotating pads, they can easily gouge and or crack the rockers if they don't pay attention. Mine got gouged at a dealer, so I'm a registered victim. 
BTW, most of the Discount Tire stores around here use a long flat lift so they don't have to find lift points. If you have pucks, they will contact the lift prior to the rocker panel.

I concede on the two post shop lifts. I can see where they'd be useful in that situation. Home DIYers using them with most floor jacks really don't need them. The fiberglass cutout clearance around the frame rail lifting points is generous.

just use the factory J 43625 jacking pucks shown in the factory service manual at the correct lift points shown on pages 0-24 to 0-25 in the manual and you should not have any trouble.you cant really expect to find much in any owners manual.the factory jacking pucks are quite inexpensive
