Drive Belt: Description and Operation

Accessory Drive





The engine crankshaft pulley drives the accessory components, which comprise the torsional vibration damper, generator, power steering pump, A/C compressor and coolant pump, via the accessory drive belt.

The belt, which is maintenance free poly-V type belts, are automatically pre-loaded by the tensioning rollers and are routed over deflection pulleys in order to maintain sufficient adhesion about the drive wheels. This ensures slip-free drive of the accessory components.
