I believe for your vehicle there is only one drive belt. The serpentine belt is kept tight via the use of an automatic tensioner. If the belt is squeaking, the tensioner needs to be checked before the belt is replaced to make sure it is still doing its job correctly. A qualified mechanic can help you determine the cause of the sound and fix what needs to be replaced.
