Here's a generalized PDF:

http://www.ohio.edu/people/ridgely/Volvo_docs/documents/Jacking%20points.pdf

Yellow circles are places to lift the weight of the car with a *floor jack*. Don't use the spare tire jack. Easiest places are the differential and front crossmember. For the crossmember, don't crunch the plastc belly pan.

Red spots are places to put jack stands. Just put the 'Y' part (or center) of the stand under the axle or in the spare tire "lifting" points. In the case of the rear axle, be sure not to crunch the sway bar, exhaust, or brake lines.

The jack stand in your picture is in a very bad place: it will simply go through the floor if you put any weight on it.

Be careful. Give the car a good shake before getting under it.
