Low kms dilemma

I DON'T do a lot of kilometres in my 2007 Honda Civic VTi and I'd like your thoughts on whether I should use time or the kilometre reading for the maintenance schedule. The maker's recommendation is always whichever comes first?

YOU should follow the recommendation of whichever comes first. If you drive the average number of kilometres, then the odometer reading will most probably come first, so follow that. But if you don't do many kilometres, then you might reach the time limit before the kilometres come up. In that case follow the time schedule. But it's always a case of whichever comes first.
