The Red Dragons maintained their push for promotion with a 2-1 triumph at Sheffield United on Saturday, a result that leaves them in seventh place on 63 points, behind Southampton who sit sixth, on goal difference.
"They know that other teams are in the hunt," said the former Wales international.
"So now it's just about clinging on, it's about making sure you show that character that is there in abundance."
Following the international break Wrexham will return to action against West Bromwich Albion on Friday, 3 April while promotion-chasing Hull City, who sit three points above Wrexham in fourth place, host strugglers Oxford United.
Jones feels that "getting rid" of the draws has been key to the Tigers' success.
"That might mean that you lose a couple of games, but these last four games, maybe they draw four you have four points, by winning two and losing two you have six."
The midfielder compared the turnaround to the 2008-09 Championship season at Swansea City. Jones was among those under Roberto Martinez as the Swans narrowly missed out on the play-offs on their return to the second tier.
"We as players didn't believe for the first two months, [Martinez] kept saying 'we are good enough to be promoted' honestly, the lads were looking at each other thinking 'he's in dreamland'.
"It took probably about six to eight weeks in to that first season for us to believe so there were a load of draws and right at the end we just missed out on the play-offs. That seems to have clicked with Wrexham sooner in the season."
