You have a timing chain, not a belt, so no worries there.

If you hear the alternator belt squeaking, look for wear and replace if necessary, otherwise it's fine.

thanks man. I've been looking all over the internet and finally saw that it has a chain. But, when it comes to the alternator belt, I do hear some sqeaking I guess. I'm assuming it's the only visible belt on the left-ish side of the engine. I don't see any wear that I can tell. but I do hear some noise.

Put some belt grease on it and see if the noise continues. You're on the right belt. It turns all the pullies, actually, as there's no room for a belt on the other side due to the FWD transmission.
