To check and adjust, you will need a special tool: a belt tension sensor (07JGG-0010101).
Note: This check must be performed with the engine cold.

Used belt
1. Remove the lower engine cover
2. Check the drive belt for cracks or damage. If the drive belt is cracked or damaged, replace it.

Checking the working principle of the belt tension sensor
3. Rotate the crankshaft pulley one revolution or more. Attach a belt tension gauge to the belt itself and measure the tension. Follow the gauge manufacturer's instructions for use. If belt tension is required, proceed to step 5.
Tension: 440-590 N.

Bending test
4. Turn the crankshaft pulley one revolution or more. Apply a force of 98 N and measure the bending at the midpoint A between the air conditioning compressor (between the generator in the absence of air conditioning) and the crankshaft pulley. If belt tensioning is required, proceed to step 5.
Adjustment
5. Loosen lock bolt A and mounting bolt B.
6. Turn the adjusting bolt C to obtain the desired tension, then tighten the lock bolt and fixing bolt to the specified torque.
7. Recheck the belt tension.
New belt
