Jack Usage Precautions
To complete the Use and Maintenance
Handbook to which this supplement is
attached, given below are some instructions
on the proper use of the jack.MaintenanceMake sure grime does not build up on the
“worm screw.”
Keep the “worm screw” lubricated.
Never modify the jack.
Conditions Of Non-Use:
Temperatures below −40°C.
On sandy or muddy ground.
On uneven ground.
On steep roads.
In extreme weather conditions: thunder -
storms, typhoons, hurricanes, blizzards,
storms, etc.
WARNING!
When using the crank, make sure it turns
freely without the risk of scraping hands
against the ground.
Even the moving parts of the jack, the
“worm screw” and joints can cause
injuries: avoid contact with them. Clean it
thoroughly if dirtied with grease.
CAUTION!
The jack is a tool designed exclusively for
changing a wheel, in case of a puncture or
damage to a tire of the vehicle on which it
is fitted or on vehicles of the same model.
Any other use, e.g. to jack up other vehicle
models or different things, is strictly
prohibited. Never use it to carry out
maintenance or repairs under the vehicle
or to change summer/winter wheels and
vice versa. Never go under the raised
vehicle. If any work under the vehicle is
necessary, contact an authorized dealer.
Incorrect placing of the jack can cause the
vehicle to drop: use it only in the positions
indicated. Do not use the jack for loads
higher than that specified on the label.
Never start the engine with vehicle raised.
If the vehicle is raised more than
necessary, everything can become more
unstable, with the risk of the vehicle
dropping violently. Therefore raise the
vehicle only as much as necessary for the
wheel/spare.

Tire Inflation Pressures
The proper cold tire inflation pressure is
listed on the left side B-Pillar or rear edge of
the passenger door.Tire And Loading Information Placard
This placard tells you important information
about the:
1. Number of people that can be carried in the vehicle.
2. Tire size designed for your vehicle.
3. Cold tire inflation pressures for the front, rear, and spare tires.
At least once a month:
Check and adjust tire pressure with a good
quality pocket-type pressure gauge. Do not
make a visual judgement when deter -mining proper inflation. Tires may look
properly inflated even when they are
underinflated.
Inspect tires for signs of tire wear or visible
damage.
Inflation pressures specified on the placard
are always “cold tire inflation pressure”.
Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as the
tire pressure after the vehicle has not been
driven for at least three hours, or driven less
than 1 mile (1.6 km) after sitting for a
minimum of three hours. The cold tire infla -
tion pressure must not exceed the maximum
inflation pressure molded into the tire side -
wall.
Check tire pressures more often if subject to
a wide range of outdoor temperatures, as tire
pressures vary with temperature changes. Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi
(7 kPa) per 12°F (7°C) of air temperature
change. Keep this in mind when checking
tire pressure inside a garage, especially in
the Winter.
Example: If garage temperature = 68°F
(20°C) and the outside temperature = 32°F
(0°C) then the cold tire inflation pressure
should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which
equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for
this outside temperature condition.
Tire pressure may increase from 2 to 6 psi
(13 to 40 kPa) during operation. DO NOT
reduce this normal pressure build up or your
tire pressure will be too low.
Tire Pressures For High Speed Operation
The manufacturer advocates driving at safe
speeds and within posted speed limits.
Where speed limits or conditions are such
that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds,
maintaining correct tire inflation pressure is
very important. Increased tire pressure and
reduced vehicle loading may be required for
high speed vehicle operation. Refer to an
authorized tire dealer or original equipment
vehicle dealer for recommended safe oper
-
ating speeds, loading and cold tire inflation
pressures.
CAUTION!
After inspecting or adjusting the tire
pressure, always reinstall the valve stem
cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt
from entering the valve stem, which could
damage the valve stem.
2020_JEEP_M6_UG_UK.book Page 233

235
It is not recommended driving a vehicle
loaded at full capacity or to tow a trailer
while a tire is in the run flat mode.
See the tire pressure monitoring section for
more information.
Tire Spinning
When stuck in mud, sand, snow, or ice
conditions, do not spin your vehicle's wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) or for longer than
30 seconds continuously without stopping.
Refer to “Freeing A Stuck Vehicle” in “In
Case Of Emergency” for further information.
Tread Wear Indicators
Tread wear indicators are in the original
equipment tires to help you in determining
when your tires should be replaced.Tire Tread
These indicators are molded into the bottom
of the tread grooves. They will appear as
bands when the tread depth becomes a 1/16
of an inch (1.6 mm). When the tread is worn
to the tread wear indicators, the tire should
be replaced.
Refer to “Replacement Tires” in this section
for further information.
Life Of Tire
The service life of a tire is dependent upon
varying factors including, but not limited to:
Driving style.
Tire pressure - Improper cold tire inflation
pressures can cause uneven wear patterns
to develop across the tire tread. These
abnormal wear patterns will reduce tread
life, resulting in the need for earlier tire
replacement.
Distance driven.
Performance tires, tires with a speed
rating of V or higher, and Summer tires
typically have a reduced tread life. Rota-
tion of these tires per the vehicle sched -
uled maintenance is highly recommended.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
Forces generated by excessive wheel
speeds may cause tire damage or failure.
A tire could explode and injure someone.
Do not spin your vehicle's wheels faster
than 30 mph (48 km/h) for more than
30 seconds continuously when you are
stuck, and do not let anyone near a
spinning wheel, no matter what the
speed.1 — Worn Tire
2 — New Tire
WARNING!
Tires and the spare tire should be replaced
after six years, regardless of the remaining
tread. Failure to follow this warning can
result in sudden tire failure. You could lose
control and have a collision resulting in
serious injury or death.
