Drive Belt: Adjustments

Adjustment
For G16 engine
1) Remove engine under cover of right side and loosen tension nut.





2) Adjust belt (5) tension. With A/C equipped vehicles, turning tension bolt (3) counterclockwise causes pulley to rise, increasing belt tension. With A/C non-equipped vehicles, turning tension bolt clockwise causes pulley to lower, increasing belt tension. In both cases, turning tension bolt in the other way decreases belt tension. Be sure to tighten tension nut (4) after adjusting belt tension.
Tightening torque
Tension nut (a): 45 Nm (4.5 kgf-m, 32.5 ft. lbs.)
