The term identifies a visual representation illustrating the layout of a crucial component within a specific vehicle model. It outlines the path followed by a flexible band that transmits power from the engine’s crankshaft to various peripheral devices, such as the alternator, power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, and water pump, in a 2011 Toyota Camry. This diagram serves as a guide for proper installation and routing of the belt.
Correct routing, as depicted in the representation, ensures optimal performance and longevity of these essential vehicle systems. Deviations from the specified path can lead to reduced efficiency, premature wear of the belt or driven components, and potentially, system failure. Accurate documentation like this is valuable for both professional mechanics and vehicle owners performing maintenance.
