To replace the timing belt on a 2001 Kia Rio, first ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Remove components obstructing access to the timing belt, such as the front engine cover and accessory belts. Align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft, then remove the old belt and install the new one, ensuring proper tension. Finally, reassemble the components, reconnect the battery, and start the engine to check for proper operation.

The 2004 Kia Rio is equipped with a timing belt, not a timing chain. It's important to replace the timing belt at the recommended intervals to prevent engine damage. Typically, Kia suggests replacing the timing belt every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, but it's best to consult the owner's manual for specific guidelines.
