Inspect the drive belt only when the engine is stopped.
- Make sure that the indicator (notch on fixed side) of drive belt auto-tensioner is within the possible use range.
NOTE:
- Check the drive belt auto-tensioner indicator (notch) when the engine is cold.
- When the new drive belt is installed, the range of possible use should be as shown.
