Engine Belts, Tires Engine Belts POWER STEERING BELT Alternator belt: (On cars without A/C) 10.5-12.5 mm (0.41- 0.49 in) (On cars with A / C ) 8.0-10.5 mm (0.31-0.41 in) Power steering belt: 13.0-16.0 mm (0.51-0.63 in) If you see signs of wear or looseness, have your dealer adjust or replace the belts. Tires Check the inflation and condition of your car's tires at least once a month. Inflation Check the pressure in the tires when they are cold. This means the car has been parked for at least three hours. If you have to drive the car before checking the tire pressure, the tires can still be considered "cold" if you drive less than 1.6 km (Imile). If you check the pressure when the tires are hot (the car has been driven several miles), you will see readings 28 to 41 kPa (0.3 to 0.4 kg/cm 2 , 4 to 6 psi) higher than the cold reading. This is normal. Do not let air out to match the specified cold pressure. The tire will be underinflated. ALTERNATOR BELT Check the condition of the two engine belts. Examine the edges of each belt for cracks or fraying. Check the tension of each belt by pushing on it with your thumb midway between the pulleys. The belts should have the following "play" or deflection. Maintenance

Engine Belts, Tires
Engine Belts
Check the condition of the two
engine belts. Examine the edges of
each belt for cracks or fraying.
Check the tension of each belt by
pushing on it with your thumb
midway between the pulleys.
The belts should have the following
"play" or deflection.
Alternator belt:
(On cars without A/C)
10.5-12.5
mm (0.41— 0.49
in)
(On cars with A/C)
8.0—10.5 mm (0.31—0.41 in)
Power steeringbelt:
13.0—16.0 mm (0.51—0.63 in)
If you see signs of wear or looseness,
have your dealer adjust or replace
the belts.
Tires
Check the inflation and condition of
your car's tires at least once a month.
Inflation
Check the pressure in the tires when
they are cold. This means the car
has been parked for at least three
hours. If you have to drive the car
before checking the tire pressure,
the tires can still be considered
"cold" if you drive less than 1.6 km
(Imile).
If you check the pressure when the
tires are hot (the car has been driven
several miles), you will see readings
28 to 41 kPa (0.3 to 0.4 kg/cm
2
, 4 to
6 psi) higher than the cold reading.
This is normal. Do not let air out to
match the specified cold pressure.
The tire will be underinflated.
