The Serpentine Belt of a Jeep Patriot is responsible for transmitting the rotational movement of the engine to key components so that the auxiliary systems can work. The driving pulley transmits torque through a single continuous loop. All the loops are made of reinforced rubber and guided by numerous pulleys. The crankshaft's power goes to the alternator (which generates electricity), power steering pump (which helps you steer more effortlessly), air conditioning compressor (which keeps the cabin cool), and water pump (which cools the engine) via the Serpentine Belt. An arrangement of the idler pulley and tensioner maintains the belt tension and alignment and prevents slip while taking less space than older multi-belt configurations. In the Jeep Patriot the Serpentine Belt is always working and is subject to heat and load, material wear, cracking, or glazing will show up, if it breaks several systems get disabled instantly which can lead to a loss of battery charging, steering assistance and cooler flow. Routine inspection of visual deterioration like fraying, glazing and missing ribs can avoid sudden failure of the Serpentine Belt. A micro v-belt, poly v-belt, multi-rib belt, drive belt, alternator belt, fan belt, or water pump belt all refer to the same part found on every Jeep Patriot. Jeep Patriot Serpentine Belt tension specification is the same for all.
