Chain or belt in 2003 Mazda Bravo

I have a 2003 Mazda Bravo 2600 ute with an F2 petrol engine and I was wondering whether it has a timing chain or a belt, and if it has a belt when it should be changed? I don't do much driving or take long trips, and it has travelled only 33,200 km.

It has a belt to drive the camshaft, and belts typically are changed every 100,000 km or so, but because they deteriorate with time there is usually a time recommendation for the service as well. That's in the order of four to five years, and as your Bravo is seven years old it would wise to change it.
