Drive Belt

~1min read

For proper operation of the alternator, power steering pump and air conditioning compressor, the drive belt must be in good condition and properly adjusted.

A worn, cracked or frayed drive belt must be replaced.

With the key in the ignition switch, there is a risk of the engine starting unexpectedly.

• Do not leave the key in the ignition switch when inspecting the drive belt.

Moving parts in the engine compartment can cause serious injury.
