Drive Belts
Check the condition of the two drive
belts. Examine the edges of each
belt for cracks or fraying.
Check the tension of each belt by
pushing on it with your thumb
midway between the pulleys.
The belts should have the following
"play" or deflection.
Alternator belt:
0.37 — 0.49 in (9.5 — 12.5 mm)
Power steering belt:
0.53 — 0.65 in (13.5 — 16.5 mm)
If you see signs of wear or looseness,
have your dealer adjust or replace
the belts.

should normally be replaced at the
intervals shown in the maintenance

regularly drive your car in one or
more of these conditions:
In very high temperatures
(over 110°F,43°C).
