Drive Belt: Description and Operation

ACCESSORY DRIVE - 3.0L (4V)

Accessory Drive

The accessory drive:

^

has a single serpentine belt with 6 ribs.

^

has an automatic drive belt tensioner.

^

has a 3-ribbed water pump belt.

New drive belts must be of the same type as originally installed.

Accessory Drive Belt

Check the drive belt condition at 160,000 km (100,000 miles) then after every 24,000 km (15,000 miles).

Belt Tensioner

Automatic tensioners are calibrated to provide the correct amount of tension to the belt for a given accessory drive system. Unless a spring or damping
band within the tensioner assembly breaks, or some other mechanical part fails, there is no need to check the tensioner for correct tension.

Water Pump Drive Belt
