The book ties the belt-tension check to air-conditioner service at the start of each warm season, and it says that service should be done by a dealer.
Neither is printed. No diagram is drawn.
R-134a and approved PAG oil are named. A fill weight is not added on this page.
Spark plugs, filters, and coolant each have their own chart marks. They are not a belt measurement. See the spark plug guide and the engine air filter guide.
If a factory service manual prints a routing figure, it was not the document read for this page.
Outbound links only. BaySheet does not sell parts. Confirm fitment on the retailer page. Amazon links are searches for a real part name plus this vehicle. Tool rows do not get a product search. The search is not a part number.

This owner's manual does not print a length, a routing, or a tension number.
No. The book names R-134a and approved PAG oil and sends that service to a facility with recovery equipment. No charge amount is copied here.
The maintenance checklist is on the site now. The email list is not sending yet, so this box will not store an address.
These guides cover the same kind of work. Their numbers belong to those vehicles, not to this one.
