Does the Dacia Sandero Stepway use a cam belt or timing chain?

Can you tell me if the 2015 Dacia Sandero Stepway 0.9TCE has a timing chain or belt? And at what mileage would you suggest a belt or chain replacement?

This engine uses a timing chain. It's designed to last the life of the engine, which it should do as long as the oil is kept clean with a yearly change.

Petrol or diesel ... or even electric?
