3. USE OF PROPER O±RINGS AND SEALS
O±rings and seals used for conventional CFC12 air condi-
tioning systems cannot be used for HFC134a air conditioning
systems.
Always use genuine Toyota HFC134a system O±rings and
seals for HFC134a air conditioning systems.
If O±rings and/or seals for CFC12 air conditioning systems
are used by mistake in the connections of an HFC134a air
conditioning system, the O±ring and seals will foam and swell
resulting in leakage of refrigerant.
4. TIGHTEN CONNECTING PARTS SECURELY
Securely tighten the connecting parts to prevent leaking of
refrigerant gas.
wApply a few drops of compressor oil to O±ring fittings for
easy tightening and to prevent leaking of refrigerant
gas.
CAUTION: Apply only ND±OIL 8 compressor oil.
wTighten the nuts using 2 wrenches to avoid twisting the
tube.
wTighten the O±ring fittings or the bolted type fittings to
the specified torque.
5. INSERT PLUG IMMEDIATELY IN DISCONNECTED PARTS
Insert a plug immediately in the disconnected parts to pre-
vent the ingress of moisture and dust.
6. DO NOT REMOVE PLUG FROM NEW PARTS UNTIL
IMMEDIATELY BEFORE INSTALLATION
7. DISCHARGE GAS IN NEW COMPRESSOR FROM
CHARGING VALVE BEFORE INSTALLING IT
If the gas in the new compressor is not discharged first, com-
pressor oil will spray out with gas when the plug is removed.

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR
REFRIGERANT
1. DO NOT HANDLE REFRIGERANT IN AN ENCLOSED
AREA OR NEAR AN OPEN FLAME
2. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION
3. BE CAREFUL THAT LIQUID REFRIGERANT DOES NOT
GET IN YOUR EYES OR ON YOUR SKIN
If liquid refrigerant gets in your eyes or on your skin:
(a) Wash the area with lots of cool water.
CAUTION: Do not rub your eyes or skin.
(b) Apply clean petroleum jelly to the skin.
(c) Go immediately to a physician or hospital for professional
treatment.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS FOR
REFRIGERANT CONTAINER
1. NEVER HEAT CONTAINER OR EXPOSE IT TO NAKED
FLAME
2. BE CAREFUL NOT TO DROP CONTAINER AND NOT TO
APPLY PHYSICAL SHOCKS TO IT

CAUTION:
wBe sure to connect both the high and low pressure
quick±connectors onto the A/C system when evacuating.
If only one side is connected, the system would be open
to atmosphere through the other connector, making it
impossible to maintain vacuum.
wBe sure to turn off the manifold gauge valve immediately
after evacuating the system. Then you may switch off the
vacuum pump.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN CHARGING
REFRIGERANT
1. DO NOT OPERATE COMPRESSOR WITHOUT ENOUGH
REFRIGERANT IN REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
If there is not enough refrigerant in the refrigerant system, oil
lubrication will be insufficient and compressor burnout may
occur, so take care to avoid this.
2. DO NOT OPEN HIGH PRESSURE MANIFOLD VALVE
WHILST COMPRESSOR IS OPERATING
If the high pressure valve is opened, refrigerant flows in the
reverse direction and could cause the charging cylinder to
rupture, so open and close the low pressure valve only.
3. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERCHARGE SYSTEM WITH
REFRIGERANT
If refrigerant is overcharged, it causes problems such as in-
sufficient cooling, poor fuel economy, engine overheating
etc.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(SRS)
Failure to carry out service operations in the correct se-
quence could cause the supplemental restraint system to
deploy, possibly leading to a serious accident.
During removal or installation of the parts and the yellow wire
harness and connector for the airbag is necessary, refer to
the precautionary notices in the RS section before carrying
out operation. AC±6
