This schedule lists the maintenance services which are necessary for the proper operation, safety, and performance of your vehicle. It is important to perform these services at the scheduled intervals. Without routine maintenance your vehicle's longevity and reliability can be greatly reduced. The maintenance intervals may be affected by the type of environment in which you are driving. For example, operating in mud or sand will require more frequent lubrication and fluid servicing.
