How often do you change a serpentine belt on a 99 Ford Escort?

On a '99 Escort, relatively frequently, as they are prone to cracking. But the good news is, the are cheap, even from the Ford dealer. (Part Number JK6-512-E approx. $30.00)

whats a serpentine belt?

are you uk or us?
Ford recommends every 60,000 miles. I have had them go much longer (120,000 miles). It is a relatively cheap investment to make to assure that you don't lose your belt out on the road to change it at the 60,000 mile suggested intervals.
when little tiny cracks start to appear,aprox. every 60,000
Most of these answers are right,you do need to change it when the cracks start to appear..Just thought i would be more specific..The cracks will be showing on the inside of the belt..Most of the time the outside of the belt will still appear fine.
