Scheduled Service Intervals for Chery Vehicles are determined by either a set period of time (e.g. 12 months) or a set distance (e.g. 10,000 km), whichever comes first (refer to your Service and Warranty Handbook for the intervals specific to your vehicle). If a vehicle does not reach the nominated distance before the next Scheduled Service Interval, the service should still be performed based on the time specified in the Scheduled Inspection and Maintenance Schedule. Each eligible Scheduled Service under the Program can be claimed within 3,000 km or 6 months, whichever is earlier, of each Scheduled Service Interval.
8.2. It is the responsibility of the customer to bring the vehicle in for servicing at each Scheduled Service Interval. If the customer misses an eligible Scheduled Service, the eligibility of a vehicle for the due Scheduled Service will lapse and the Capped Price will not apply for that particular service. In this case, the customer will need to discuss available servicing options with an Authorised Chery Dealership. It is noted that if you miss any eligible Scheduled Service, additional work may be identified which is not included in the Capped Price.

If additional services are performed that are not included in the relevant Scheduled Service, additional charges may apply.
