WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: Check the drive belt tension after turning the crankshaft clockwise one turn or more.

Make sure that the indicator mark is within the area marked with A in the illustration.

If the mark is out of the area, replace the drive belt. (Refer to CRANKSHAFT PULLEY .)
NOTE: The drive belt tension check is not necessary as auto-tensioner is adopted.
