I too have found this difficult with the V70.
The jacking points are poorly marked and explained.
When using a trolley jack I find it catches the plastic trim over the sills either side of the reinforced jacking points. I fear that this may at some point ruin the plastic sills.
SO i resort to using a block of hardwood on the trolley jack and lifting from there. Once high enough I get axle stands under the subframe or engine mount where possible to give extra support.
I find the car body is too long to get the trolley jack under to those points and lift from there as I would prefer to do. I could then put the axle stands under the jacking points.
However, I've never had an issue with the portable jack included with the car when I've needed to change a wheel in a hurry. It's always worked OK for me on a hard surface and lifts the car enough to take the wheel on/off. I wouldn't use it for anything more than that though
