The Mercury Zephyr Drive Belt is responsible for transferring engine rotation to vital component systems, helping to maintain electrical output and cool air within the cabin. In the original Zephyr models, tension checks would be required for the single V-style Drive Belt, which looped around the crankshaft pulley and each component. Subsequently, the car availed a serpentine Drive Belt that has a longer multi-groove loop which winds with the help of pulleys in a single path, eliminating the requirement of multiple belts. Moreover, this gives the Mercury engine bay much simpler routing. The newer Drive Belt has improved efficiency due to a reduction in slippage. With a lifespan close to 100,000 miles, any signs of fray or cracking require changing of the Drive Belt immediately. This protects the alternator, power steering pump, and A/C compressor. The two belt designs use a row of flexible rubber reinforced with cords, which helps to bend the belt around pulleys, absorb small misalignments, and transfer up to 98 percent of the crankshaft's power without undue vibrations back through the engine of a Mercury Zephyr. Though gears and chains transfer more force, the Drive Belt cushions load spikes, costs less to service, and is therefore a practical pick for everyday Mercury drivers who want steady Zephyr performance from -35 to 85°C.
