1) Turn off the engine.

2) Find the belts located on the very front of the engine. On a front-wheel-drive car, the front of the engine is usually adjacent to the fender; on a rear-wheel-drive car, the front of the engine is adjacent to the radiator and the front bumper.

3) Note that there will be two or more belts, depending on the car. Belts are used to operate the fan, water pump, alternator, air conditioner, and power steering pump.

4) Press lightly with your thumb on each belt at the belt's longest part between pulleys. Check the appropriate tension for your belts in your car's manual. Belts should not have more than 1 inch of "give" in either direction.

5) Observe the belt as you press on it. If it's cracked or can be easily pushed more than 1 inch, it most likely needs to be replaced.

Tips: Let the engine cool before checking the belts, and be careful around hot engine parts. If your belts make a horrible shrieking sound when you press on the gas pedal, they are too loose, and probably need to be tightened or replaced.
