What is the mileage that chevy recommends before needing a timing belt change for a 2005 chevy cavalier LS?

I want to know how many miles I can put on this baby before I need to change out the timing belt/chain. The dealership keeps promising to give/send me the owner's and maintance manuals, but it is 3 1/2 years and still no books. Any help you guys /gals out there can give would be a big help.

Update:

How do I find out if it has a a non interference or interference engine ?

    most people dont change it till around 100-120k

    depending if its a non interference or interference engine also can make a difference

    if its non, doesnt matter, you can wait till it breaks, and your engine wont be destroyed
