PRECAUTIONS
not have dedicated recovery equipment, you may contact a local refrigerant product retailer for available ser-
vice. This refrigerant must be disposed of in acco rdance with all federal and local regulations. In addition,
replacement of all refrigerant system components on the vehicle is recommended.
• If the vehicle is within the warranty period, the air conditioner warranty is void. Please contact NISSAN Cus-
tomer Affairs for further assistance.
General Refrigerant PrecautionINFOID:0000000003533220
WARNING:
• Do not release refrigerant into th e air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.
• Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or air
conditioning system.
• Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52 °C (125 °F).
• Do not heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the
bottom of the container in a warm pail of water.
• Do not intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.
• Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonou s gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.
• Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certa in to work in well ventilated areas to prevent suf-
focation.
• Do not pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condition-
ing systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a) have
been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause injury or
property damage. Additional heal th and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant manu-
facturers.
Precaution for Leak Detection DyeINFOID:0000000003533221
• 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 goggles 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 conjuncti on with an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-
41995).
• For your safety and the customer's satisfaction, r ead and follow all manufacturer's operating instructions and
precautions prior to performing work.
• A compressor shaft seal should not be repaired because of dye seepage. The compressor shaft seal should only be repaired after confirming the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995).
• Always remove any dye from the leak area after repairs are complete to avoid a misdiagnosis during a future
service.
• Do not allow dye to come into contact with painted body panels or interior components. If dye is spilled,
clean immediately with the approved dye cleaner. Fluoresc ent dye left on a surface for an extended period of
time cannot be removed .
• Do not spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).
• Do not use more than one refrigerant dye bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) per A/C system.
• Leak detection dyes for HFC-134a (R-134a) and CFC-12 (R -12) A/C systems are different. Do not use HFC-
134a (R-134a) leak detection dye in CFC-12 (R-12) A/ C systems or CFC-12 (R-12) leak detection dye in
HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems or A/C system damage may result.
• The fluorescent properties of the dye will remain for ov er three (3) years unless a compressor failure occurs.
A/C Identification LabelINFOID:0000000003533222
Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have this identification label on the underside of hood.
Precaution for Refrigerant ConnectionINFOID:0000000003533223
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to al l refrigerant lines except the following locations.
• Expansion valve to cooling unit
• Evaporator pipes to evaporator (inside cooling unit)

Precaution for Service of CompressorINFOID:0000000003533224
• 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 co mpressor, follow “Maintenance of Oil Quantity in Compressor”
exactly. Refer to ATC-20, "
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 wast e cloth moistened with thinner.
• After compressor service operation, turn the compressor shaft by hand more than 5 turns in both
directions. This will equa lly distribute oil inside the compresso r. After the compressor is installed,
let the engine idle and oper ate the compressor for 1 hour.
• After replacing the compressor magnet clutch, ap ply voltage to the new one and check for normal
operation. Refer to ATC-155, "
Removal and Installation for Compressor Clutch".

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
DescriptionINFOID:0000000003533233
The front air control provides automatic regulation of the vehicle's interior temperature. The system is based
on the driver's and passenger's selected "set temperat ure", regardless of the outside temperature changes.
This is done by utilizing a microcomputer, also referred to as the front air control, which receives input signals
from the following seven sensors:
• Ambient sensor
• In-vehicle sensor
• Intake sensor
• Optical sensor (providing one input for driver and one input for passenger side)
• PBR (Position Balanced Resistor)
• Vehicle speed sensor (via CAN communication)
• Engine coolant temperature (via CAN communication)
The front air control uses these signals (including the set temperature) to automatically control:
• Outlet air volume
• Air temperature
• Air distribution
The front air control also provides separate regulation of the vehicle's interior temperature for the rear passen-
ger area. The system is based on the temperature and r ear blower settings selected from rear control
switches located on the front air control, or from the temperature and rear blower settings selected from rear
control switches on the rear air control, when the front air control switches are set to the rear position.
The front air control is used to select: • Outlet air volume
• Air temperature/distribution
OperationINFOID:0000000003533234
AIR MIX DOORS CONTROL
The air mix doors are automatically controlled so that in-vehicle temperature is maintained at a predetermined
value by the temperature setting, ambient temper ature, in-vehicle temperature and amount of sunload.
BLOWER SPEED CONTROL
Blower speed is automatically controlled by the temperat ure setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tempera-
ture, intake temperature, amount of sunload and air mix door position.
When AUTO switch is pressed, the blower motor starts to gradually increase air flow volume (if required).
When engine coolant temperature is low, the blower moto r operation is delayed to prevent cool air from flow-
ing.
INTAKE DOOR CONTROL
The intake door is automatically controlled by the tem perature setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle tem-
perature, intake temperature, amount of sunl oad and by the ON-OFF operation of the compressor.
MODE DOOR CONTROL
The mode door is automatically controlled by the temperat ure setting, ambient temperature, in-vehicle temper-
ature, intake temperature and amount of sunload.
DEFROSTER DOOR CONTROL
The defroster door is controlled by: Turning the defroster dial to front defroster.
