7 Alternator
If your air conditioning system is
functioning properly, it is not
necessary to remove and replace
the refrigerant or compressor oil.
. A V-ribbed belt is used for the
fan belt. This type of belt
requires the tension to be
adjusted more accurately than is
required with the conventional V
belt. Inappropriate tension could
cause the belt to make noise or
break. When the fan belt is
damaged, electricity is not
properly generated or becomes
a cause of engine overheating.
You must check the tension of
the fan belt carefully.
. Use dealer-certified genuine
parts when changing the
fan belt. .
Have the vehicle inspected and
serviced at your dealer.
. The air conditioning drive belt,
if equipped, must be adjusted
after fan belt adjustment. If the
belt is not adjusted properly, the
A/C belt may experience
excessive tension, and possible
premature failure.
