Drive Belt Inspection

  1. Remove the right upper fender trim (see UPPER GRILLE REPLACEMENT ).
  2. Inspect the belt for cracks or damage. If the belt is cracked or damaged, replace it.
  3. Check that the auto-tensioner indicator (A) is within the standard range (B) as shown below. If it is out of the standard range, replace the drive belt (see DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT  ).
