1. Periodically check the condition of the belt, and detection of defects, replace the belt.
2. The belt tension is performed in an automatic tensioner and does not need checking.
3. Turn the engine off, set the transmission to neutral. Lift and establish the car on supports.
4. Check the chalk belt in a clearly visible place.  | 5. Turn the engine for the crankshaft pulley in the direction of rotation to a position at which the chalk mark visible. At the same time, section by section check the belt. |
6. Fingers (and using a flashlight if necessary) go over the entire length of the belt, feeling for cracks and bundles. Also check to see if the belt abrasions and zapolirovat polished sections. The belt should be examined by both sides, which implies the need to twist him to check the status of the reverse side. Along the way, check for rust, cracks and burrs on pulleys. On the working surface of the belt may be the presence of shallow perpendicular cracks. If these cracks do not extend beyond one edge and not very deep, there is no need to replace the belt.  |  |

7. The belt tension is checked by strong pressure on his thumb and determine the extent of his depression. Measure the amount of deflection line. If the distance between the centers of the pulleys is of from 180 to 280 mm, the amount of deflection must be equal to 6 mm. If the distance between the centers of the pulleys is in the range between 300 and 400 mm, the deflection should be 13 mm.
8. If one or more of the V-belt damage necessarily need to be replaced.
 | 9. Properly place the belt on the pulleys. Even short improperly installed belt can cause damage. |
