Default Timing belt or chain in '06 S40?

Does the current model S40 utilize a timing chain or belt?

I saw that the previous gen was a belt but was hoping current model utilized a chain to eliminate that maintenance item.

Thanks!

Do you know if it has a typical 60K mile belt replacement schedule and if the engine is interference or not?

Thanks again!
