Drive belts should be checked periodically for proper tension and adjusted
(2.0L only) if necessary. At the same time, belts should be examined for
cracks, wear, fraying or other evidence of deterioration and replaced if nec-
essary.
Belt routing should also be checked to be sure there is no interference
between the belts and other parts of the engine. After a belt is replaced, the
new belt should be adjusted again after two or three weeks to eliminate slack
resulting from initial stretching after use.
