Serpentine-remmen er en lang gummirem, der leverer strøm til motortilbehør - generator, servostyringspumpe, aircondition-kompressor og (nogle gange) vandpumpe.
Moderne køretøjer har (normalt) kun én rem og kan drive alt tilbehør gennem flere remskiver.
Although using only one belt is the most effective and reliable choice, it also means that when your car's serpentine belt breaks, all work will stop! You will lose power steering, the air conditioner will stop working, your battery will eventually run out of power, and the engine may overheat. In addition, it may damage the engine accessories it controls.
Det er derfor, det er så vigtigt at udskifte serpentinebæltet regelmæssigt.
