Actually rule of thumb is 7 years
Rubber rots so a safe bet is the mileage or 7 years.
This is not something you want to gamble with; busted timing belt, busted engine!

There is a year/engine split on timing belt intervals for the 5 cyl.

It is 7 years or 70k for 850 and up to engine -1266127 in the 98 S/V70.
(auto tensioner)

It is 10 years or 105k for engine 1266128- and on in the S/V70.
(mechanical tensioner)

This applies up to engine -3188689. Which is somewhere in mid 04/05. Then it is 10 or 120k for engine 3188690- and on.

Being that you have an 01 it is going to be 10 years or 105k.
