AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM
REFRIGERANT AND LUBRICANT
RECOMMENDATIONS
The air conditioning system in this
NISSAN vehicle must be charged with
the refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) and
the lubricant, NISSAN type ``PAG F'' or
the exact equivalents.
CAUTION
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant
will cause severe damage to the air
conditioning system and will require
the replacement of all air conditioner
system components.
The refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) in your
NISSAN vehicle does not harm the earth's
ozone layer. Although this refrigerant does
not affect the earth's atmosphere, certain
government regulations require the recov-
ery and recycling of any refrigerant during
automative air conditioning system service.
An authorized NISSAN dealer has the
trained technicians and equipment neededto recover and recycle your air conditioning
system refrigerant.
Contact an authorized NISSAN dealer when
servicing your air conditioning system.
