WARNING:
Be sure to perform the these steps when engine is stopped.
 Check that the indicator (C) (notch on fixed side) of each auto-tensioner is within the possible use range (A).
NOTE:
 Check the each auto-tensioners indication when the engine is cold.
 When new drive belts is installed, the indicator (notch on fixed side) should be within the range (B) in the\
figure.
 Visually check all drive belts for wear, damage or cracks.
 If the indicator (notch on fixed side) is out of the possible use range or drive belts are damaged, replace drive
belts.
