Does a 2002 Hyundai coupe S have a timing belt or chain and how often does it need to be changed?

It does have a belt, but if you start it in colder weather a lot that can shorten the life of the belt a lot, and so can a heavy off and on foot (hot rod) shorten the life. I see a lot here in alaska go out at 30 to 40 thousand miles because of it.Does a 2002 Hyundai coupe S have a timing belt or chain and how often does it need to be changed?It's a belt, typically belts at least by 60,000 miles or first signs of cracks and wear.
