Checking Drive Belt [QR25DE]

WARNING:
- Be sure to perform this step when the engine is stopped.
- Make sure that the indicator (fixed side) of the drive belt auto-tensioner is within the possible use range (moving side) as shown.










NOTE:
- On vehicles not equipped with A/C, there is an idler pulley in the A/C compressor position for the drive belt routing.
- Check the drive belt auto-tensioner indication when the engine is cold.
- Visually check entire drive belt for wear, damage or cracks.
- When new drive belt is installed, the indicator (fixed side) should be within the range "A". If the indicator (fixed side) is out of the possible use range or drive belt is damaged, replace drive belt.
