My rule of thumb for Timing belts: replace at 60,000 miles, and every 40,000 miles thereafter. Having said that, I often let cars go until the timing belt starts showing signs of wear (usually every 50K - 75K miles)
But www.autozone.com (register free at www.autozone.com) is recommending for your car driving in "severe driving conditions" (aka normal stop-start driving) that your 2000 Sonata have: 60,000 miles - replace 90,000 miles - inspect for wear 120,000 miles - replace 150,000 miles - inspect for wear
The 155 page owners manual (I found one at the link below - you may prefer to try Hyundai) makes no mention of the timing belt at all.
The Alternator may not be charging at the proper level. If the car is running while you're trying to open the sunroof or turn on the defroster, then the battery light has nothing to do with those and they are separate problems. Have an ASE Certified mechanic check the charging system.
