Drive Belts

All drive belts must be periodically inspected for tension and condition, such as excessive wear, cracks, fraying, or glazed
surfaces.
Inspecting the belts with the engine running may cause serious injury or death. Turn off the engine and remove the ignition
key before adjusting tension or inspecting belts.
Power‑Assisted Steering Pump Belt Inspection
The 2.0 diesel engine uses a stretch‑belt to drive the power‑assisted steering pump. The stretch‑belt is engineered to have a
certain amount of elasticity and designed to have self tensioning and vibration damping characteristics not found in standard
serpentine accessory drive belts. Stretch‑belt service and maintenance procedures differ from standard accessory drive belts.
Should the power‑assisted steering pump stretch‑belt need replacement, consult your Mercury Diesel authorized repair facility.
1. Inspect the power–assisted steering stretch‑belt for the following:
• Excessive wear
• Cracks
• Fiber fraying
• Glazed surfaces
