Description
Outline
The air conditioner system delivers cooled air into the passenger compartment by circulating refrigerant through the sys-
tem as shown below.
CONDENSOR
This car uses HFC-134a {R-134a) refrigerant which does not contain chlorofluorocarbons Pay attention to the following
service items:
. Do not mix refrigerants CFC-I2 (R-l21 and HFC-134a (R-134a) They are not compatible'
. Use onty the recommended potyatkytenegtycol {PAG) refrigerant oil (ND-OIL 8: P/N 38899-PR7-A01) designed for the R-
134a compressor. Intermixing the recommended (PAG) refrigerant oil with any other refrigerant oil will result in com-
pressor tailure.
