Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: Drive Belt
Purpose, Function
-
The drive belt transmits rotation force of the crankshaft pulley to the pulley for the auxiliary parts.
Construction
-
The drive belt is installed to the front of the engine.
-
A V-ribbed belt has been adopted for the drive belt.
-
The water pump drive belt is a stretch type.
-
Drive belt vibration is suppressed by shortening the distance between each pulley.
-
With the adoption of the oil pressure type drive belt auto tensioner, the change in tension by the oil pressure damper operation is absorbed. As a result, the sliding resistance has been reduced by lowering the drive belt tension setting.
