the recommended change interval is 60,000 miles / 96,000 km's, although the belts are known to last long past that point. For example, the timing belt on my mom's '95 Avalon was still in new condition after 60,000 miles.
You can run it past where you are at now, but it is not recommended, as your engine is what is known as an interference engine. That meanins that there is not enough room for the piston to be all the way up, and have the valves be open at the same time. If the belt breaks while you are driving the 2 can make contact and rouin your engine.
