Service sooner if the dashboard kilometre limit is reached before the year is up. This pattern starts with the first service. Use your service history to find your place in the cycle; count separate fluid and filter intervals from their last change.

Replacement intervals

Part or fluidWhen to replace it
Engine oil and oil filterEvery 1 year, or sooner if shown on the dashboard
Activated-charcoal cabin filterEvery 1 year, or sooner if shown on the dashboard
Brake fluidEvery 2 years

Replace according to wear

Brake pads, discs, tyres and wipers do not share a fixed replacement mileage.

Brake pads and discs

Check pad thickness and disc condition. Replace when they reach the wear limit.

Wiper blades

Replace blades that leave streaks, skip across the glass or have damaged rubber.

Tyres

Check tread, damage and cracking, and correct the pressures.

Service checklist

Service A and Service B alternate, normally once a year. Follow the time or kilometres remaining on your dashboard, whichever comes first. Extra work can fall due with either service.
