What I've learned is it's apparently not "required" because the fluid they use is top quality, it technically could last the life of the car but I wouldn't trust a fluid that much...
But I would personally do it every 90k or so, the type you use is pretty much any brand as long as it says ATF Type IV, it's the standard in GM and Toyota cars and they share the same recipie cause Toyota developed it. So even if the Aveo is a GM car, the Toyota ATF Type IV is good to use. If you're looking for specifics the part number is #88900925

In 2005 GM introduced Dexron VI to supercede all previous versions of fluid to use in automatic transmissions. You can continue to use Dexron III, and it will work fine in your older application. However, Dexron VI is backwardly compatible. This newer specification of ATF is supposed to handle heat and shifting better than the older fluids.
One further imprtant note: Do NOT use Dexron VI in manual transmissions and power steering units.
A 2004 Chevrolet Aveo uses Dexron III (H) automatic transmission fluid.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.
This is trouble shotting - You are saying that when you turn on the car with the key to the ignition that the engine motor starts up but when you put the transmission into the first gear that your car is not going forward which tells me that your problem happens to be in your transmission linkages. You can check the transmission fluids to see if it has any fluids when your car running and is hot enough to check the fluids.
oh the side of your transmission, above the halfway point, there will be a plug that you can open. (don't open the plug on the bottom of the transmission as that's the drain plug). When you open the plug, some fluid should leak out meaning it's at the right level. If nothing leaks out, pour some fluid in until it starts to run out and then replace the plug.
Keith, Searched the net on this, a little confusion on this one and not a lot out there. The pan/ diff. cover has to be removed or at least loosened some to change the fluid. Check the attached link,instruction and guide, Good luck

In a manual car you do not change or flush the transmission fluid. the
only fluid you change is the gear oil for the clutch. The manual
transmissions do not have the ability to be flushed or changed as it
does not have the same internals as an automatic transmission
