2. Check for A/T fluid leakage.
3. Before driving, A/T fluid level can be checked at A/T fluid tem-
peratures of 30 to 50°C (86 to 122°F) using the “COLD” range
on A/T fluid level gauge.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi-
tion. Leave selector lever in “P” position.
c. Check A/T fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and wipe clean with lint-free cloth.
CAUTION:
When wiping the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free
cloth.
e. Re-insert A/T fluid level gauge into A/T fluid charging pipe as far
as it will go.
CAUTION:
Firmly fix the A/T fluid level gauge to the A/T fluid charging
pipe using the stopper attached.
f. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and note reading. If reading is at
low side of range, add A/T fluid to the A/T fluid charging pipe.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill.
4. Drive vehicle for approximately 5 minutes.
5. Re-check A/T fluid level at A/T fluid temperatures of 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F) using “HOT” range on A/T
fluid level gauge.
CAUTION:
When wiping the A/T fluid level gauge, always use lint-free cloth.
Firmly fix the A/T fluid level gauge to the A/T fluid charging pipe using the stopper attached.
6. Check A/T fluid condition and make any necessary repairs. Refer to AT-53, "
Fluid Condition Check" . If
the A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), or if the A/T is repaired, overhauled, or
replaced, inspect and clean the A/T fluid cooler mounted in the radiator. Refer to AT-17, "
A/T Fluid Cooler
Cleaning" .
7. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge into the A/T fluid charging pipe.
CAUTION:
Firmly fix the A/T fluid level gauge to the A/T fluid charging pipe using the stopper attached.
Changing A/T FluidELS00220
1. Warm up A/T fluid.
2. Stop engine.
3. Drain A/T fluid by removing the drain plug. Reinstall the drain plug to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse drain plug gasket.
4. Refill the transaxle with new specified A/T fluid through the A/T fluid charging pipe. Always refill the tran-
saxle with the same volume of A/T fluid that was drained out.
5. Run engine at idle speed for 5 minutes.
6. Check A/T fluid level and condition. Refer to MA-22, "
Checking A/T Fluid" .

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: June 20062007 Versa
After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all openings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the opera-
tion. Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for
connection.
Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
Thoroughly remove moisture from the refrigeration system before charging the refrigerant.
Always replace used O-rings.
When connecting tube, apply oil to circle of the O-rings as shown. Be careful not to apply oil to
threaded portion.
O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
Connect tube until you hear it click, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that
the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.
After connecting line, perform leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the refrigerant leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then
tighten connections of seal seat to the specified torque.
Precautions for Servicing CompressorEJS00570
Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.
When the compressor is removed, store it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
When replacing or repairing compressor, follow “Maintenance of Oil Quantity in Compressor”
exactly. Refer to MTC-18, "
Maintenance of Oil Quantity in Compressor" .
Keep friction surfaces between clutch and pulley clean. If the surface is contaminated, with oil,
wipe it off by using a clean waste cloth moistened with thinner.
After compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than five turns in
both directions. This will equally distribute oil inside the compressor. After the compressor is
installed, let the engine idle and operate the compressor for one hour.
After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, apply voltage to the new one and check for usual
operation.TYPE 1 Compressor (CR-10) : NISSAN A/C System Oil Type R

Maintenance of Oil Quantity in CompressorEJS00579
The oil in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add oil to compressor when
replacing any component or after a large refrigerant leakage occurred. It is important to maintain the specified
amount.
If oil quantity is not maintained properly, the following malfunctions may result:
Lack of oil: May lead to a seized compressor.
Excessive oil: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
OIL
OIL RETURN OPERATION
Adjust the oil quantity according to the test group shown below.
1. CHECK OIL RETURN OPERATION
Can oil return operation be performed?
A/C system works properly.
There is no evidence of a large amount of oil leakage.
CAUTION:
If excessive oil leakage is noted, do not perform the oil return operation.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> GO TO 3.
2. PERFORM OIL RETURN OPERATION, PROCEEDING AS FOLLOWS
1. Start engine, and set the following conditions:
–Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
–A/C blower switch: ON
–Blower speed: Max. position
–Temp. control: Optional [Set so that intake air temperature is 25° to 30°C (77° to 86° F)].
–Intake position: Recirculation (REC)
2. Perform oil return operation for about 10 minutes.
3. Stop engine.
>> GO TO 3.
3. CHECK REPLACEMENT PART
Should the compressor be replaced?
YES >> GO TO MTC-19, "OIL ADJUSTING PROCEDURE FOR COMPRESSOR REPLACEMENT" .
NO >> GO TO MTC-19, "
