摘要

A system and method for warning an operator of a vehicle if the vehicle is operating in a condition that may result in drive belt failure. The ground speed of the vehicle, its engine speed and transmission gear placement are compared to determine if the engine speed is too high for a given ground speed and transmission gear placement. If it is too high, a warning is generated to alert the operator if the vehicle that the drive belt is in danger of failing.
