Drive Belt Wear/Burn
Possible Cause
Driving at low RPM or
ground speed

tures
Slow/easy clutch engage-
ment
Belt slippage from water
or snow ingestion into the
CVT system
Clutch malfunction

TROUBLESHOOTING

Drive at a higher speed.
Warm the engine at least 5 minutes. With the transmission
in neutral, apply small amount of throttle in short bursts, 5
to 7 times. The belt will become more flexible and
prevent belt burning.
Use the throttle quickly and effectively.
Dry out the CVT (see page 66). Prevent water from
entering the CVT inlet and outlet ducts (see page 86).
Inspect clutch seals for damage if repeated leaking
occurs.
