Dust and pollen filter, drive belts – Acura 2002 MDX - Owner's Manual User Manual
Page 289
Check the condition of the two drive
belts (power steering belt and
alternator belt). Examine the edges
of each belt for cracks or fraying.
If you see signs of wear or looseness,
have your dealer adjust or replace
the belts.
Power steering belt:
The belt should have the following
‘‘play’’ or deflection.
Check the tension of the power
steering belt by pushing on it with
your thumb midway between the
pulleys.
This filter should be replaced every
30,000 miles (48,000 km) under nor-
mal conditions. It should be replaced
every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) if you
drive primarily in urban areas that
have high concentrations of soot in
the air from industry and diesel-pow-
ered vehicles. Replace it more often
if air flow from the climate control
system becomes less than usual.
Have dust and pollen filter replaced
by your Acura dealer.
The dust and pollen filter removes
pollen and dust that is brought in
from the outside through the heating
and cooling system/climate control
system.
