Ah. I need a piece of wood to increase Surface area.Under no circumstances attempt to jack it using the sills; you'll likely damage them.

The pictures show a 500, but the hardpoints on the Panda 169 are exactly the same.
Since making that post, I've lifted both cars this way for six years without any issues.

Should be fine then
or even better, a rubber jacking pad.

just jack on the sill joint, this is the standard jacking point. unless you are an animal, they wont get damaged!
I always jack on the axle next to the spring pan or right in the middle if I want the whole back end up.
I do this but couldn't recommend it. It very easy for it to slide off.
Yeah I reckon I'll be doing it this way. Jack it up via the axle and stick stands underneath.Yep, I stick stands under it if I'm going underneath.

Make what you will of this, but eLearn for the 500 (which uses the same floor pan) has a specific prohibition against lifting the car on the rear beam.
I think ok to jack under spring pans. Not ok to jack under axle beam because it will distort.I've seen that but I can't see a good reason why.

Changing a flat tire by the side of the road would most likely involve the factory jack. Off course you'd use the factory jackpoints for that.
Had to do that in Croatia a few weeks aga when I had a lot of grit stuck between the frontrotors and backingplates. First time the jack was ever out of the sparetire
