You don't tighten it. It has an idler pulley that keeps the proper tension. If this is an old belt and is loose, then it needs replacing. If you have installed a new belt and it is loose, then either you installed the wrong belt or the idler spring is weak and the idler needs replacing.

How do you tighten a fan belt on a Nissan Pathfinder?
I was told by a mechanic that the fan belt and timing belts on a Pathfinder (mine is a 2001) self-tighten when you accelerate. They do not need to be or do not tighten manually. If your belt is loose, it is probably time to just replace it or it got stretched by someone taking it off and putting it back on or from normal wear and tear. Either way, it needs to be replaced with a new one because once they're stretched, they're no good. I'm not an expert, but this is what I was told by a mechanic.
