HONDA 2003 Element - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 252)

Check the condition of the drive belt.
Examine the edges of the belt for
cracks or fraying.
An auto-tensioner adjusts the tension
of the drive belt. The pointer on the
auto-tensioner should be in the
proper range. It should be checked
according to the time and distance
recommendations in the
maintenance schedule.
If the pointer is out of this range or
you see signs of wear, have the drive
belt replaced by your Honda dealer
as soon as possible.
