Easy to re-align.
You just need a 1/2" ratchet extension about 6" or more long.
Look down at the tensioner pully below the idler pully at the top of the engine closest to the firewall. You'll see a square hole in the tensioner's arm that your extension will fit nicely into. Just pull it toward you to release the tension on the belt and re-align. Hopefully it's just a case of someone not paying attention when the belt was last replaced.
***IMPORTANT***
If you don't KNOW when it was last done, this is an EXCELLENT time to replace the little idler pully at the top of the engine back by the firewall. Go to your dealer and buy an origional idler pully, they're about $35 and they ALL FAIL... Usually with a LOT of fanfare as their bearings lock up and it smokes the belt... which leaves you without the waterpump running with will warp the head in no time flat.
It's EASY to change (one bolt and 5 minutes) so there's no excuse for not doing it. :)
Good luck!
