DRIVE BELT REMOVAL

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips

Use a Toyota genuine belt or an equivalent high strength belt when replacing the belt. If a high strength belt is not used, the durability of the belt may be insufficient. A high strength belt is reinforced with an aramid core and is stronger than the other belts with PET (polyester) or PEN (polyethylene naphthalate) core.
