The air distribution is shown in the figure.
"I.The door (D1) is used to select either fresh air from outside or recirculated air. Setting the
RECIRC/FRESH control lever (switch) to the FRESH position will allow outside air to come inside.
Setting the RECIRC/FRESH control lever (switch) to the RECIRC position will allow inside air to recir-
culate.
2. Outlet airflow is controlled by doors D3, D4, D5.
Moving (pushing) the mode control lever (switch) opens and shuts the doors (D3, D4, D5) and cre-
ates the air passage according to the lever position.
1) Setting the lever to the VENT position (push the VENT switch) creates the air passage to the venti-
lator outlets, and air comes into the passenger compartment from the ventilator outlets.
2) Setting the lever to the BI-LEVEL position (push the BI-LEVEL switch) creates the air passage
to the ventilator outlets and to the floor outlets.
3) Setting the lever to the HEAT position (push the HEAT switch) creates the air passage to the floor
outlets.
(A little air comes from the defroster outlets.)
4) Setting the lever to the DEF/HEAT position (push the DEF/HEAT switch) creates the air passage
to the floor outlets and to the defroster outlets.
5) Setting the lever to the DEF position (push the DEF switch) creates the air passage to the defroster
outlets.
3. The cooling or heating temperature is controlled by doors D2.

Checking the Refrigerant Charge
1. Run the engine at idle.
2. Operate the air conditioner at maximum cooling
for a few minutes.
3. Check the amount of refrigerant by observing the
sight glass on the receiver-drier. (Refer to follow-
ing table.)

Installation of the Manifold Gauge Set
Note:
Fittings for attaching the manifold gauge set
are on the high and low pressure pipes.
1. Close both hand valves of the manifold gauge set.
2. Install the charging hoses in the gauge set to the
fittings.
Connect the low-pressure hose to the low-pressure
gauge fitting and the high-pressure hose to the
high-pressure gauge fitting.
Tighten the hose nuts by hand.

Safety Precautions
1. The R-12 liquid refrigerant is highly volatile. A drop
of it on the skin of your hand could result in local-
ized frostbite. When handling the refrigerant, be
sure to wear gloves.
2. If the refrigerant splashes into your eyes, wash
them with clean water immediately. It is standard
practice to wear goggles or glasses to protect your
eyes, and gloves to protect your hands.
3. The R-12 container is a highly pressurized vessel.
Never leave it in a hot place, and check to be sure
that the temperature where it is stored is below
52°C (126°F).
4. A halide leak detector is often used to check the
system for refrigerant leakage. Remember that
R-12, upon coming into contact with flame (this de-
tector burns like propane to produce a small flame),
produces phosgene, a toxic gas.

Refrigerant Container Service Valve
1. Before connecting the valve to the refrigerant con-
tainer, turn the handle fully counterclockwise.
2. Turn the disc counterclockwise until it reaches its
highest position.
3. Connect the center hose to the valve fitting. Turn
the disc fully clockwise by hand.
4. Turn the handle clockwise to make a hole in the
sealed tap.
5. Turn the handle fully counterclockwise to fill the
center hose with air. Do not open the high- and
low-pressure manual valves.
6. Loosen the center hose nut connected to the cen-
ter fitting of the manifold gauge.
Allow air to escape for a few seconds, then tight-
en the nut.

DETERMINING THE RELATIVE HUMI-DITY: Read the temperatures of the dry- and v^et-bulb thermometers at the air inlet (evapo-rator inlet). Then bring them into mutual relation on the chart and determine the intersection, which is the relative humidity^ For exampie, if the dry-bulb temperature^ is 90° F. and the wet-bulb temper- ^ ature is 78° F, the relative humidity is ^ 60%.

Performance Test
After finishing repairs, be sure to conduct a perfor-
mance test of the air conditioning system as follows.
Procedure
1. Connect the manifold gauge set. (Refer to page
16-8)
2. Run the engine and keep the engine speed at
1750 rpm.
3. Operate the air conditioner at MAX COOLING.
4. Open all windows and doors.
5. Insert a dry-bulb thermometer in the center of the
ventilator outlet.
6. Place a dry and wet thermometer close to the in-
let of the blower inlet.
7. The high pressure should be within 1374—1569
kPa (14.0—16.0 kg/cm2, 200—227 psi).
Note:
If the pressure is too high, pour water on the
condenser; if it is too low, cover the front sur-
face of the condenser.
8. The dry-bulb thermometer at the inlet should be
within 25—35°C (77—95°F).
Operate the air conditioning system in this condi-
tion until the conditions of the high and low pres-
sure gauges and thermometers are stabilized.
Reading the standard performance curve
1. Read the inlet temperature an get the relative hu-
midity from the psychrometric chart.
2. Read the cool air temperature at the air outlet.
3. Determine the difference between the inlet and out-
let dry-bulb temperature.
4. For example, when the difference is 17°C (30.6°F)
and the relative humidity is 60%:

If
the closing point is the upper part of the line, cool-
ing performance is satisfactory.

READING THE GRAPH: After reading the temperatures of the wet-and dry-bulb thermometers at the evapo-rator air inlet, the relative humidity (%} can be determined Example: If the dry- and wet-bulb temperatures at the evaporator air inlet are 25°
C
and 19 5°C respectively, find the point of intersection of the dotted lines in the graph, which is

ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
1. Use a leak detector to check the sight glass, the
fusible plug, and the fittings for leakage.
Repair or replace, if necessary.
2. Check the receiver-drier for clogging.
a) Run the engine at fast idle with the air conditioner
on.
b) Check both inlet and outlet temperatures.
If there is a great difference between the two tem-
peratures, replace the receiver-drier.

REMOVAL OF RECEIVER-DRIER
1. Discharge the air conditioning system.
(Refer to page 16—9)
2. Disconnect the two liquid line pipes from the
receiver-drier.
Note:
Plug the open fittings immediately to keep
moisture out of the system.
3. Remove the receiver-drier from the bracket.
INSTALLATION OF RECEIVER-DRIER
1. Install the receiver-drier onto the bracket.
Note:
Do not remove the blind plugs until ready for
connection.
2. Connect the two liquid line pipes to the
receiver-drier.
Tightening torque:
15—25 N m (1.5—2.5 m-kg, 11—18 ft-lb)
3.
If
the receiver-drier is replaced with a new one, add
compressor oil to the compressor.
