Welcome.
That's not your timing belt. That's the serpentine belt, also known as the fan belt or the accessory belt. Timing belts are always covered up and for the Kizashi, a metal timing chain is used instead of a belt. In fact, take the oil filler cap off and you can even see the timing chain inside the engine.
As for your issue, it sounds like either the belt tensioner has failed and/or your belt is stretched out. I'd check the tensioner and replace the belt. It's a relatively easy fix either way.
Good luck!

Early Kizashis (and SX4s) in the U.S. had a tensioner recall issued.
At this point, I'd replace both.
