The SL2 series used a 4 cylinder, dual overhead cam engine with a timing CHAIN that did not need replacing until the head was removed.
You DO, however, need to properly maintain the serpentine belt, which drives the alternator, Power Steering, AC, and water pump. Don't let THAT belt break, since the engine will overheat quickly and can damage the head gasket.
But... you don't need to worry about the timing belt, since there isn't one. The timing chain is INTERNAL, and is constantly lubricated, making it last much longer than a timing belt.
What else can I help you with?

When does your Saturn sl2 timing chain need to be replaced?
Timing BELTS are outside the engine, run dry, and have no external lubrication. Timing BELTS should be replaced according to the manufacturers schedule. But the SL2 is not equipped with a timing belt, it uses a timing chain. Timing chains are internal, well lubricated, and designed to last as long as the rest of the engine. You shouldn't need to replace the timing chain until you rebuild the engine.
When do you need to change the timing chain of your 2001 Saturn sl2?
You are correct that the SL2 uses a timing chain. However, since it uses a timing chain it does not need to be replaced as does the timing BELT. In general, a timing chain should last the life of the engine.
