Hi Stephen,
You've not told us a lot about the car so we've made some assumptions. The earlier versions had a change interval of 120,000 kilometres and the later models were 150,000 kilometres, with the belt tensioner changed every second time in both cases.
As ever, if a car is used in a lot of stop-start, heavy traffic situations, we'd advise drivers to change their belts more frequently than the car makers suggest.
