Refrigerant Line
• Never use heat for bending pipes. When bending a pipe , try to make its bending angle as smooth as possible.
• Keep internal parts of air conditioning free from moistu re and dirt. When disconnecting any line from system, install
a blind plug or cap to the fitting immediately.
• When connecting hoses and pipes, apply a few drops of compressor oil (refrigerant oil) to O-ring.
• When tightening or loosening a fitting, use two wrenches, one for turning and the other for support.
• When handling recovery and recycling equipment, be sure to follow the instruction manual for the equipment.
• Check local governmental regulations regarding working with refrigerator systems and its tooling.
• Route drain hose so that drained water does not make any contact to vehicle components.
• If pipes or hoses are replaced, replenish specified amount of compressor oil to compre ssor suction side referring to
“Replenishing Compressor Oil” in “Operation Procedure for Refrigerant Charge”.
Refrigerant Recovery
When discharging refrigerant out of A/C system, always recover it by using refrigerant recovery and recycling
equipment because discharging refrigerant HFC-134a (R-1 34a) into atmosphere would cause adverse effect to
environments.
NOTE
When handling recovery and recycling equipment, be sure to follow the instruction manual for the
equipment.
Refrigerant Charge
After performing compressor oil replenishment and evacuat ion, charge a proper amount of refrigerant to A/C system
referring to “Charge” in “Operation Procedure for Refrigerant Charge”.

Removal of Manifold Gauge Set
WARNING!
High pressure side is under high pressure.
Therefore, be careful not to get injured
especially on your eyes and skin.
For the A/C system charged with the specified amount of
refrigerant, remove manifold gauge set as follows:
1) Close low pressure side valve of manifold gauge set. (The high pressure side valve is closed continuously
during the process of charging.)
2) Close refrigerant container valve.
3) Stop engine.
4) Using shop rag, remove charging hoses from service valves. This operation must be performed quickly.
5) Put caps on service valves.
Check A/C System for Refrigerant Leaks
Whenever a refrigerant leak is suspected in the system
or any service operation has been performed which may
result in malfunction of lines and connections, it is
advisable to check for leaks.
Common sense should be used during refrigerant leak
test, since the need and extent of any such test will, in
general, depend upon the nature of a complaint and the
type of a service performed on the system.
Liquid leak detector
WARNING!
• To prevent explosions and fires, make sure that there are no flammables in the vicinity.
• When the refrigerant exposed to fire, it turns into a poisonous gas (phosgene). Do
not inhale this gas.
There is a number of fittings and places throughout the
A/C system where a liquid leak detector solution may be
used to pinpoint refrigerant leaks.
By merely applying the solution to the area in question
with a swab, such as attached to the cap of a vial,
bubbles will form within seconds if there is a leak.
For confined areas, such as sections of the evaporator
and condenser, an electronic (refrigerant) leak detector
is more practical fo r determining leaks.

SDM
WARNING!
Never power up air bag system when SDM is
not rigidly attached to the vehicle. Otherwise,
personal injury may result.
CAUTION!
After detecting one time of such collision as
to meet deployment conditions, SDM must
not be used. Refer to “Air Bag Diagnostic
System Check” when checking SDM.
• Never attempt disassembly of SDM.
• When storing SDM, select a place where neither high temperature nor high humidity is anticipated and oil,
water and dust are kept off.
• If SDM has been dropped, replace it with a new one.
• If SDM installation part of floor was damaged, repair that part completely before reinstallation.
• All SDM and mounting bracket fasteners must be carefully torqued and the arrow must be pointed
toward the front of the vehicle to ensure proper
operation of the air bag system. Live (Undeployed) Air Bag (Inflator) Modules
Special care is necessary when handling and storing a
live (undeployed) air bag (inflator) modules.
The rapid gas generation produced during deployment
of the air bag could cause the air bag (inflator) module,
or an object in front of the air bag (inflator) module, to be
thrown through the air in the unlikely event of an
accidental deployment.
WARNING!
Never attempt to measure the resistance of
the air bag (inflator) modules (driver,
passenger and side of both sides and curtain
of both sides). It is
very dangerous as the
electric current from the tester may deploy
the air bag.

• Never attempt disassembly of the air bag (inflator) modules.
• If any abnormality is found, be sure to replace it with
new one as an assembly.
• When an abnormality is noted as existing in the live (undeployed) air bag (inflator) module, be sure to
deploy it before discarding it.
• When grease, cleaning agent, oil, water, etc., got on the air bag (inflator) modules (driver, passenger, side
of both sides and curtain of both sides), wipe it off
immediately with a dry cloth.
• If air bag (inflator) module was dropped from a height of 90 cm (3 ft) or more, it should be replaced with a
new one as an assembly.
WARNING!
• For handling and storage of a live air bag (inflator) module, select a place where the
ambient temperature below 65 °C (150 ° F),
without high humidity and away from
electric noise.
• When carrying a live air bag (inflator) module, make sure the bag opening is
pointed away from you. In case of an
accidental deployment, the bag will then
deploy with minimal chance of injury.
Never carry the air bag (inflator) module by
the wires or connector on the underside of
the module.
Otherwise, personal injury may result.
WARNING!
When placing a live air bag (inflator) module
on bench or other surface, always face the
bag up, away from the surface. As the live
passenger air bag (inflator) module must be
placed with its bag (trim cover) facing up,
place it on the workbench with a slit (1) or
use the workbench vise (2) to hold it securely
at its lower mounting bracket (3).
It is also prohibited to place anything on top
of the trim cover and stack air bag (inflator)
modules.
This is necessary so that a free space is
provided to allow the air bag to expand in the
unlikely event of accidental deployment.
Otherwise, personal injury may result.
Live (Inactivated) Seat Belt Pretensioner
Special care is necessary when handling and storing a
live (inactivated) seat belt pretensioners.
Also, when the seat belt pretensioners activate, gas is
generated and the seat belt (1) is retracted into the
retractor assembly (2) quickly.
Note, therefore, that if they activate accidentally, the seat
belt pretensioners and other object(s) around them may
be thrown through the air.
