Does the 2010 Renault Trafic have a timing belt or a timing chain?

I have a 2010 Renault Trafic van 115 dci, could you please tell me if it has a timing belt or chain?

The 2.0-litre diesel uses a timing chain. It was originally designed to last the life of the van. But they’re prone to stretching and a replacement is usually required around the 100,000-130,000 mile mark, costing around £500 before VAT.
