Does the 2009 Holden Cruz CD diesel have timing chain or belt? If it’s a belt, when should it be replaced?

This model Cruze used a toothed rubber timing belt, rather than a timing chain. Holden recommended the belt be changed at 90,000km intervals. It’s not a job to ignore, either, as a snapped timing belt will often turn the engine to junk in an instant.
