MasterIt has a belt and the replacement interval is 105,000 miles.
I'd get the timing area inspected though, make sure there are no oil and coolant leak.
Here is the 70,000 mile service:70000 MI or 112000 KM
Inspect:
Air Bag Systems
Check the air bag system every 12 months, regardless of mileage. Check function / damage.
Battery
Brakes and Traction Control
Check for damage/leaks, thickness of pads and brake fluid level.
Shift Interlock, A/T
Check operation including park/neutral position switch.
Washer Fluid
Check fluid level, add if necessary
Replace:
Engine Oil
Oil Filter, Engine
Rotate Wheels
Rotate front to rearGood luck with your new car!
