Tire Chains And Traction Devices - Srt; Tire Rotation Recommendations - Jeep Grand Cherokee 2020 Owner's Manual

Tire Chains and Traction Devices — SRT
Use of traction devices require sufficient
tire-to-body clearance. Follow these
recommendations to guard against damage.
Traction device must be of proper size for the

tire, as recommended by the traction device
manufacturer.
Install on rear tires only.

Due to limited clearance, RUD-GRIP 4X4 or

Equivalent is recommended on
295/45R20 tires.
WARNING!
Using tires of different size and type (M+S,
Snow) between front and rear axles can
cause unpredictable handling. You could lose
control and have a collision.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to your vehicle or tires,
observe the following precautions:
Because of restricted traction device clear-

ance between tires and other suspension
components, it is important that only trac-
tion devices in good condition are used.
Broken devices can cause serious damage.
Stop the vehicle immediately if noise
occurs that could indicate device breakage.
Remove the damaged parts of the device
before further use.
Install device as tightly as possible and

then retighten after driving about ½ mile
(0.8 km).
Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).

Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and

large bumps, especially with a loaded
vehicle.
Do not drive for a prolonged period on dry

pavement.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION! (Continued)
Observe the traction device manufacturer's

instructions on the method of installation,
operating speed, and conditions for use.
Always use the suggested operating speed
of the device manufacturer's if it is less
than 30 mph (48 km/h).
Do not use traction devices on a compact

spare tire.

Tire Rotation Recommendations

The tires on the front and rear of your vehicle
operate at different loads and perform different
steering, handling, and braking functions. For
these reasons, they wear at unequal rates.
These effects can be reduced by timely rotation
of tires. The benefits of rotation are especially
worthwhile with aggressive tread designs such
as those on On/Off-Road type tires. Rotation will
increase tread life, help to maintain mud, snow,
and wet traction levels, and contribute to a
smooth, quiet ride.
