Previous cars I've owned, I've always changed the belt every 36,000 miles or 3 years whichever is sooner regardless of what the manufacturer states. Some manufacturers claim 90,000 miles which is ridiculous in order to cut service costs. Remember to change tensioners & idlers at the same time & also any water pumps that are driven by timing belts.
Sounds like overkill & unecessary expense, but it's a whole lot cheaper than rebuilding your engine.

Oh & don't forget to fit good quality parts.

Owners manual states replace at every 80 000km (50 000 miles) interval.
