Drive Belt: Description and Operation

ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT TENSION
Both the 2.5L and 4.0L engines use one accessory drive belt. Correct drive belt tension is required to ensure optimum performance of the belt driven engine accessories. There are different types of adjustment gauges for checking either a Poly V or a conventional V-type belt. Refer to the instructions supplied with the gauge. Make sure to use a gauge designed specifically for serpentine style belts. Place gauge in the middle of the section of belt being tested (between two pulleys) to check tension. Do not allow the gauge (or gauge adapter) to contact anything but the belt.
