Scion tC timing belt/chain question

Does the Scion tC use a timing belt or chain and is it interference or non interference?

Timing chain! And when I did mine, I changed the water pump too because it's a cheap, easy fix.

Our engines are interference engines, if the timing chain comes off valves and pistons will hit.

Our cars have a Timing chain, and the Accessory belt.

The belt is super easy to change out.

The timing chain is a PITA!

Timing Chain Replacement

HI I just replaced my Timing Chain and Oil Pump its chain, water pump put it back together and in all data it states that some systems need to be initialized. How do I go about that? Any help would be great.
