⁽¹⁾	Specifications are for new belts only. Measure tension using belt tension gauge.

⁽²⁾	Engines with serpentine belts have automatic tensioner. If tension is not as specified, check belt operating length and tensioner operating range. Replace belt or tensioner as necessary.

⁽³⁾	Specified tension reading is not available and adjustment of serpentine belt is not necessary. Belt tension is maintained by spring-tensioned idler pulley.
