Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the belt routing, rib count, and measured length before installation. Confirm the vehicle’s engine and accessory configuration, especially on Volkswagen applications with alternator and water pump routing or notes such as w/o AC and 120 Amp alternator. For Mazda CX-3, CX-30, CX-5, and CX-9 service, match the belt to the alternator drive application listed for the vehicle.
