Drive Belt: Testing and Inspection

DRIVE BELT TENSION CHECK

Check the drive belt tension after turning the crankshaft clockwise one turn or more.






2. Make sure that the indicator mark on the auto-tensioner is within the area marked with A in the illustration.
3. If the mark is out of the area A, replace the drive belt.

NOTE:
The drive belt tension check is not necessary as the auto-tensioner is adopted.
