Drive Belts: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Dodge Stratus and 2005 Chrysler Sebring. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The accessory drive consists of two Poly-V type belts. See Fig 1 or Fig 2. One belt drives the power steering pump, the other drives the generator and air conditioning compressor. Both belts on the 2.7L engine are manually tensioned. The power steering belt on the 2.0L/2.4L engine is manually tensioned. The air conditioning/generator belt on the 2.0L/2.4L engine has an automatic belt tensioner.
