maintenance on a low mileage fit

I have an 08 auto fit sport which has 38000 miles on it - i.e., about 9000 miles / year. Due to a change in my work location, the yearly mileage will probably drop down to 4-5K per year going forward. It may go even lower as I plan to incorporate a bike ride into my commute 2 or 3 days a week for health reasons.

The question I have is - what regular service should I do going forward? The MM gets reset as I have the oil changed by the neighborhood mechanic when I take the car in for the yearly NY state inspection ritual - so I cant read the codes.

Here is what I have done so far / plan to do in the future:
- an oil change at least once a year
- air filter & pollen filter once every two years (on my third set now)
- changed stock tires to michelin pilot exaltos
- the brake pads have > 50% life when checked a month ago
- brake fluid changed (first time) about a month ago
- transmission fluid changed (first time) about a month ago
- will replace OEM battery before this winter
- coolant change in 2013?

From past experience with hondas, I will have transmission & coolant changes done by the dealer. Thanks for your help ...
