SERVICE COUPLERS
Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to an
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers will
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if an
improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination
may occur.
REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE
Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-
fied lubricants have been used with the scale. If the scale controls
refrigerant flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2″-16
ACME.
CALIBRATING ACR4 WEIGHT SCALE
Calibrate the scale every three months.
To calibrate the weight scale on the ACR4:
1. Press Shift/Reset and Enter at the same time.
2. Press 8787 . “A1 ” will be displayed.
3. Remove all weight from the scale.
4. Press 0 , then press Enter . “0.00 ” will be displayed and change to “A2 ”.
5. Place a known weight (dumbbell or similar weight), between 4.5 and 8.6 kg (10 and 19 lb) on the center of
the weight scale.
6. Enter the known weight using four digits. (Example 10 lb = 10.00, 10.5 lb = 10.50)
7. Press Enter — the display returns to the vacuum mode.
8. Press Shift/Reset and Enter at the same time.
9. Press 6 — the known weight on the scale is displayed.
10. Remove the known weight from the scale. “0.00 ” will be displayed.
11 . P r e s s Shift/Reset to return the ACR4 to the program mode.
CHARGING CYLINDER
Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be vented into air from cylinder′s top valve
when filling the cylinder with refrigerant. Also, the accuracy of the cylinder is generally less than that of an
electronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge equipment.
Precautions for Leak Detection DyeEJS001YW
●The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leaks. An ultraviolet
(UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leaks.
●Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety glasses to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.
●The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electronic refrigerant leak detector. The fluo-
rescent dye leak detector should be used in conjunction with an electronic refrigerant leak detector to (J-
41995) pin-point refrigerant leaks.
●For your safety and your Customer′s satisfaction, read and follow all manufacture′s operating instructions
and precautions prior to performing the work.

BALANCING WHEELSNJSU0042Preliminary InspectionNJSU0042S011. Check tires for wear and improper inflation.
2. Check wheels for deformation, cracks and other damage.
If deformed, remove wheel and check wheel runout.
a. Remove tire from wheel and mount wheel on a tire balance
machine.
b. Set dial indicator as shown in the illustration.
Wheel runout (Dial indicator value):
Refer to SDS, SU-15.
3. Check front wheel bearings for looseness.

Camber, Caster and Kingpin InclinationNJSU0045S01Camber, caster and kingpin inclination are preset at factory
and cannot be adjusted.
1. Measure camber, caster and kingpin inclination of both right
and left wheels with a suitable alignment gauge.
Camber, caster and kingpin inclination:
Refer to SDS, SU-14.

Measure toe-in using following procedure. If out of
specification, inspect and replace any damaged or worn rear
suspension parts.
WARNING:
Perform following procedure always on a flat surface.
Make sure that no person is in front of the vehicle before
pushing it.
1. Bounce rear of vehicle up and down to stabilize the posture.
2. Push the vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft).
3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires at
the same height of hub center. This mark is a measuring point.
4. Measure distance “A” (rear side).
5. Push the vehicle slowly ahead to rotate the wheels 180
degrees (1/2 turn).
If the wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn), try
the above procedure again from the beginning. Never push
vehicle backward.
6. Measure distance “B” (front side).
Total toe-in: A − B

NATS AUDIO LINKNJEL0497S12DescriptionNJEL0497S1201The link with the NATS IMMU implies that the audio unit can basically only beoperated if connected to the
matching NATS IMMU to which the audio unit was initially fitted on the production line.
Since radio operation is impossible after the link with the NATS is disrupted theft of the audio unit is basically
useless since special equipment is required to reset the audio unit.
Initialization process for audio units that are linked to the NATS IMMU
Perform initialization with CONSULT-II
For initialization, refer to “CONSULT-II operation manual NATS”.
Normal operation
Each time the audio unit is switched on afterwards, the audio unit code willbe verified between the audio unit
and the NATS before the audio unit becomes operational.
When the radio is locked
When NATS link problems occur “SECURE” message will be displayed in three ways indicating three differ-
ent NATS link problems.
“Secure” on a red background indicates that there is a problem in the link between Navi control unit and Audio,
suggesting that there is either a Navigation system fault or the Navi control unit has previously been fitted in
another vehicle.
“Secure” on a green background indicates that there is a problem in the linkbetween NATS IMMU and Audio,
suggesting that there is an audio fault or the audio unit has previously been fitted in another vehicle.
“Secure” on a yellow background indicates that the transponder (NATS key)is not working correctly or it has
previously been fitted in another vehicle.
When a “Secure” message (of any type) is displayed, it can be cleared by re-initializing the NATS system using
CONSULT-II and the associated Immobilizer PIN code (there is no need to return the audio to a Clarion ser-
vice centre). If re-initializing fails to clear a “Secure” message then the component (identified by background
color) is faulty and should be replaced.
NOTE:
When the “Secure” is displayed on VFD display or audio unit, the communication of IMMU and radio, radio
unit or transponder has problem.
Service ProcedureNJEL0497S1202
Item Service procedure Description
Battery disconnection No additional action required. —
Radio needs repair Repair needs to be done by authorized
representative of radio manufacturer since
radio cannot be operated unless it is reset
to NEW state, using special decoding
equipment.—
Replacement of radio by new part No additional action required. Radio is delivered in NEW state.
Transferring radio to another vehicle/
replacement of radio by an “old” partRadio needs to be reset by using CON-
SULT-II and the associated Immobi PIN
code (there is no need to return the audio
or Navi units to a Clarion service centre).—
Replacement of IMMU The communication between IMMU and
radio need to be reset by using CON-
SULT-II and the associated Immobi PIN
code.After switching on the radio, it will display
“SECURE” on a green background.
No communication from IMMU to radio 1. If NATS is malfunctioning, check NATS
system.
2. After NATS is repaired, reset radio to
“Secure” on a green background state
by using CONSULT-II and the associ-
ated Immobilizer PIN code (there is no
need to return the audio to a Clarion
service centre).After switching on the radio, the display
unit will display “SECURE” on a green
background. Further use of radio is
impossible until communication is estab-
lished again, or after radio is reset by
using CONSULT-II and the associated
Immobilizer PIN code (there is no need to
return the audio to a Clarion service cen-
tre).

SPEED DEPENDENT VOLUME CONTROLNJEL0497S13DescriptionNJEL0497S1301If activated, the radio output volume will be automatically adjusted to compensate for increased driving noises
at higher driving speeds.
The radio receives a speed signal from the combination meter and selects the output volume.
PERSONAL AUDIO SETTINGSNJEL0497S14DescriptionNJEL0497S1401The radio is designed to store several settings (volume, bass, treble, preset stations and level of speed
dependent volume control) with every NATS ignition key used. Up to a maximum of 4 NATS keys can be reg-
istered. During the communication mentioned under “Anti-Theft System”,the radio will recognize the used
ignition key and select the accompanying settings.
