My information is it has a belt driven camshaft, it is after all a development of the old escort diesel though the replacement intervals are somewhat extended with 100,000 miles or 120 months, whichever occurs first, being the recommended interval though the Haynes manuals persist in suggesting timing belts are changed at 40,000 miles.
I certainly suggest doing a visual check whenever routine maintenance makes it convenient to do so and then change the belt should it appear dusty, frayed or oily. If there are no recorded belt changes I always change a belt when the information printed on the belt is no longer visible or is so faded it can hardly be read.
The first belt change can perhaps be left to the recommended interval with a minimum but rapidly increasing risk I feel subsequent belt change intervals should be increasingly reduced.

Well after digging up a few web sites, I found both references to the chain and the belt. I'll let you look at the one above and try to figure it out. If it is a belt, 60,000 miles. If it is a chain, then never. Hope this helps.
