Q: What is the description of the drive belt system?
A:
The description is that the drive belt system may use 1 belt or 2 belts. The drive belt is thin so that it can bend backward and has several ribs to match the grooves in the pulleys. There also may be a V-belt style belt used to drive certain accessory drive components. The drive belts are made of different types of rubbers-chloroprene or EPDM and have different layers or plies containing either fiber cloth or cords for reinforcement.
