Servicing air conditioner
The air conditioner system in your NISSAN
is charged with a refrigerant designed with
the environment in mind.
This refrigerant does not harm the
earth's ozone layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant is
required when servicing your NISSAN air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants causes severe damage to your
air conditioner system. See ªAir conditioner
system refrigerant and lubricant recommen-
dationsº in the ``Technical and consumer
information'' section of this manual.
An authorized NISSAN dealer will be able to
service your environmentally ``friendly'' air
conditioner system.
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains
refrigerant under high pressure. To
avoid personal injury, any air condi-
tioner service should be done by an
experienced technician with proper
equipment.
