SNOW TRACTION DEVICES
Use of traction devices require sufficient tire-to-body clearance. Due to limited clearance, the following snow traction devices are recommended. Follow these recommendations
to guard against damage.
•
Snow traction device must be of proper size for the tire, as recommended by the snow traction device manufacturer.
•
No other tire sizes are recommended for use with the snow traction device.
•
Please follow the table for the recommended tire size, axle and snow traction device:
Trim Level
Sport
Willy's
Sahara
Rubicon
High Altitude
WARNING!
Using tires of different size and type (M+S, Snow)
between front and rear axles can cause unpredict-
able 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 clearance
between tires and other suspension components,
it is important that only traction devices in good
Axle
Rear
condition are used. Broken devices can cause seri-
ous 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).
Autosock traction devices do not require
retightening.
•
Do not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).
•
Drive cautiously and avoid severe turns and large
bumps, especially with a loaded vehicle.
