Drive belt
The alternator is situated on the right-hand
side of the engine. It is driven by a
poly-V-belt from the crankshaft pulley.
A slipping or broken poly-V-belt can
result in:
• no charge to the battery
• no A/C compressor function.
The belt tension is critical and is adjusted
automatically by the belt tensioner.
WARNING
• Keep hands and clothing clear of drive
belts when engine is running.
• Always stop the engine before
inspecting the drive belt.
• The radiator fan is electric and can
start
even
when the engine is
switched off.
NOTE
Serious damage can be done to the car’s
electrical system if an alternator lead is
disconnected while the engine is running.
