Checking Drive Belts


WARNING:
Inspect the drive belt only when the engine is stopped.

On vehicles not equipped with A/C, there is an idler pulley in the position for the drive belt routing.
- Make sure that the indicator (notch on fixed side) of drive belt auto-tensioner is within the possible use range.

NOTE:
- Check the drive belt auto-tensioner indicator (notch) when the engine is cold.
- When the new drive belt is installed, the range of possible use should be as shown.
- Visually check entire belt for wear, damage or cracks.
- If the indicator is out of allowable use range or belt is damaged, replace the drive belt.
