Installation Notes and Tips

Verify belt routing, rib count, and effective length before installation. Inspect pulleys, tensioners, and idlers for wear or misalignment, since those conditions can shorten belt life. Confirm the part number K080913HD against the vehicle’s accessory drive specifications before ordering.
