A serpentine belt, also known as a multi-vee, poly-v, or multi-rib belt,
is a single, continuous belt used to drive multiple peripheral devices in an
automotive engine, such as an alternator, power steering pump, water pump, air
conditioning compressor, air pump, etc. The belt may also be guided by an idler
pulley and/or a belt tensioner (which may be spring-loaded, hydraulic, or
manual). The production serpentine belt was manufactured by Hutchinson and
first used by Mercedes-Benz on the 1985 190 Series.
