Hello,
Your vehicle is equipped with a timing chain.
The timing chain is not a maintenance item like the timing belt. However, it is recommended to replace if there is excessive play in the chain.
I have attached the guidelines of the how to check for excessive play in the chain.
Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
