Hi, the vehicle (like all vehicles today) has an automatic tensioner - it is possible that it is seized and needs replacing. Otherwise try this: First, raise the vehicle and remove the wheel from the right front side, next remove the plastic splash shield and from there you will see the tensioner pulley and adjuster bolt. Loosen the nut first and then you turn the adjuster bolt.
