Timing belt or timing chain?

Does CX-5 use belt or chain? I checked the owner's manual and I couldn't find any answer. Did I miss something? The only clue is in the maintenance schedule which says "drive belt" which I suspect is timing belt.

It's a chain. At the risk of someone coming up with an exception, no one uses belts anymore.

Timing chain, designed to last life of engine.

Hopefully a more robust chain and better actuator design than what was used in the DISI MZR. (rant)

ohhh, ohhh, me, me, Honda still uses belts in most of their V6s

One of the reasons I kept coming back to the cx5, because there is no timing belt and no turbo charger.

Are they lifetime, or is there a scheduled maintenance requirement? Come to think about it, I think I read that Ford's new one liter three cylinder that they're offering in the euro Fiesta uses an oil bath belt with no maintenance requirement to help keep build costs down.

They still need changed, 60,000 miles in some conditions. The 2013 Accord has the same belt they used back in 2003 on it.

The small Hyundai SantaFe 4 cylinder uses a belt. The larger 6 cylinder uses a chain
