How often should the engine belt of Mazda CX4 be replaced?

[OMorgan]

Mazda CX4's generator belt generally needs to be replaced every 2 years or approximately 60,000 kilometers. The generator belt is the most important belt in a car, connecting components such as the generator, air conditioning compressor, power steering pump, tensioner pulley, and crankshaft pulley. The replacement intervals for belts in vehicles are specified by the manufacturer and are detailed in the vehicle's maintenance manual. The following situations indicate the need for generator belt replacement: 1. When inspecting the belt, if we find defects such as core breakage or groove section cracking, we must replace it immediately. 2. When the belt's cover layer separates from the cord or the cord frays, the belt should be replaced. 3. When the belt is placed on the pulley, there should be a gap between the inner diameter of the belt and the bottom of the pulley groove. If there is no gap, the belt must also be replaced.
