To replace the auxiliary belt, lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands and remove the right front wheel (passenger side): it is advisable to loosen the wheel mounting bolts before lifting the vehicle; once the wheel is removed, take off the plastic cover under the wheel arch to access the auxiliary belt, note the routing of the belt through the various pulleys (make a drawing or take a photo), and loosen the tensioner to remove the belt; ensure the new belt is compatible by comparing its length and number of grooves, pass it through the pulleys, and attach it to the tensioner.
