Routine servicing follows a 15,000 km or annual schedule for oil and filters. Petrol engines need a timing belt change at the stated interval. diesels use a chain. Transfer case and differential oils need regular attention for 4WD reliability.

Keep the car by watching suspension bushes and dampers, which wear with weight and off-road use. Regular underbody checks help with durability. The monocoque with independent suspension rides better on bitumen than older ladder-frame rivals while retaining low-range capability.
