WARNING!
Do not attempt to inspect an accessory

drive belt with vehicle running.
When working near the radiator cooling fan,

disconnect the fan motor lead. The fan is
temperature controlled and can start at any
time regardless of ignition mode. You could
be injured by the moving fan blades.
You can be badly injured working on or

around a motor vehicle. Only do service
work for which you have the knowledge and
the proper equipment. If you have any
doubt about your ability to perform a
service job, take your vehicle to a compe-
tent mechanic.
When inspecting accessory drive belts, small
cracks that run across the ribbed surface of the
belt from rib to rib, are considered normal. This
is not a reason to replace belt. However, cracks
running along a rib (not across) are not normal.
