Mitsubish Outlander 2.2 diesel JURO SST - chain or belt cam?

I know the Mitsubishi Outlander has several diesel versions. I refer to the 2.2 PSA diesel with SST automatic as in the JURO model. Is this engine belt or chain cam?

Belt cam, I'm afraid. Quite a long lived belt, though. I've never heard of one failing. And with the manual box I got 45mpg, not hanging about.
