Answers:    If you have the 2Liter Single Overhead Cam (SOHC) Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) code P engine, your lucky. The Gates timing belt replacement information bank says you singular need to check the belt at 120,000 miles because you don't own an "interference" type engine that is destabilized if the belt breaks (like both of the DOHC engines). So if I were you and you own the SOHC rather than DOHC engine, I'd a short time ago keep driving it until the timing belt breaks and consequently have it replaced.
I estimate the engine VIN code is the eighth character contained by your VIN number which you read on top of the driver's side rush from outside the car. If the eighth personality is a number rather than the note "P", then you own a DOHC engine and must replace the timing belt to avoid engine damage.

It's probably tied into the steering column.
