How to safely lift Ford Fusion 2013 with floor jack and jack stands

Hello! After watching the Scotty Kilmer videos, I am inspired to work on my car. I recently bought a 3-ton floor jack(Pittsburgh) and 3-ton jack stands (Daytona). I want to know how to properly jack up a 2013 Ford Fusion. My car is a unibody, and the manual only mentions one jack point between two notches along the pinch weld for the front and rear(which I have located). My question is, since only one jack point is shown, how would I use the jack and jack stands at the same time? Should I place my jack a few inches over from the notches on the pinch weld and put the stands on the designated lift points? 

Thanks

I also had a 2013 Fusion and encountered the same thing. Depending on what you're working on, you might invest in some Rhino ramps for oil changes and stuff like that. Then, you won't need to jack up the car, you can drive on the ramps.

Yeah, that is a problem on those poorly designed cars. You'd be better off doing your suggestion, putting it off a little to the side and then putting the jakest stands on the lift points.
