TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL (TEMPE RATURE CONTROL) (DRIVER SIDE)
Increases or decreases the set temperature.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL (TEMPERATURE CONTROL) (PASSENGER SIDE)
Increases or decreases the set temperature.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL (TEMPERA TURE AND MODE CONTROL) (REAR)
Increases or decreases the set temperature. The mode al so changes from foot at full hot setting, to foot/vent
mid-range (warm) setting, and then to panel on full cold setting.
RECIRCULATION ( ) SWITCH
• When REC switch is ON, REC switch indicator turns ON, and air inlet is set to REC.
• When REC switch is turned OFF, or when compressor is turned from ON to OFF, REC switch is automati-
cally turned OFF. REC mode can be re-entered by pressing REC switch again.
• REC switch is not operated when DEF switch is tu rned ON, at the D/F position or in floor position.
DEFROSTER ( ) SWITCH
Positions the air outlet doors to the defrost position. Al so positions the intake doors to the outside air position.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH
When switch is ON, rear window and door mirrors are defogged.
OFF SWITCH
The compressor and blower are OFF, the intake doors are set to the outside air position, and the air outlet
doors are set to the foot (75% foot and 25% defrost) position.
A/C SWITCH
The compressor is ON or OFF.
(Pressing the A/C switch when the AUTO switch is ON will turn off the A/C switch and compressor.)
MODE SWITCH (FRONT)
Controls the air discharge outlets.
FRONT BLOWER CONTROL DIAL
Manually control the blower speed. Seven speeds are av ailable for manual control (as shown on the display
screen).
Rear Air Control
TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL (TEM PERATURE AND MODE CONTROL)
The temperature increases or decreases the set temperat ure. The mode also changes from foot at full hot set-
ting, to foot/vent at mid-range (warm) setti ng, and then to vent at full cold setting.
REAR BLOWER CONTROL DIAL
When the rear blower switch (front) is in the OFF position, the rear blower motor cannot operate.
When the rear blower switch (front) is in the REAR positi on, it allows the rear blower switch (rear) to control
the rear blower motor speed. In any other position (1-4), the rear blower switch (front) controls the rear blower
motor speed regardless of the rear blower switch (rear) position.

REFRIGERANT LINES
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• Replace the O-rings on the A/C refrigerant pipes with new ones, then apply compressor oil to them
when installing them.
• After charging refrigerant, check for leaks.
Checking of Refrigerant LeaksINFOID:0000000003533307
PRELIMINARY CHECK
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses and components for signs of A/C oil leak-
age, damage, and corrosion. Any A/C oil leakage may indi cate an area of refrigerant leakage. Allow extra
inspection time in these areas when using either an el ectronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995) or fluores-
cent dye leak detector (J-42220).
If any dye is observed using a fluorescent dye leak detector (J-42220), confirm the leak using a electronic
refrigerant leak detector (J-41995). It is possible that the dye is from a prior leak that was repaired and not
properly cleaned.
When searching for leaks, do not stop when one leak is found but continue to check for additional leaks at all
system components and connections.
When searching for refrigerant leaks using an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995), move the probe
along the suspected leak area at 25 - 50 mm (1 - 2 in) per second and no further than 6 mm (1/4 in) from the
component.
CAUTION:
Moving the electronic refrigerant l eak detector probe slower and clo ser to the suspected leak area will
improve the chances of finding a leak.
Checking System for L eaks Using the Fluoresc ent Dye Leak DetectorINFOID:0000000003533308
1. Check the A/C system for leaks using the fluorescent dye leak detector and safety goggles (J-42220) in a
low sunlight area (area without windows preferable). Il luminate all components, fittings and lines. The dye
will appear as a bright green/yellow area at the point of leakage. Fluorescent dye observed at the evapo-
rator drain opening indicates an evaporator core asse mbly leak (tubes, core or expansion valve).
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean shop rag or
cloth, then inspect the shop rag or cloth with the fl uorescent dye leak detector (J-42220) for dye residue.
3. After the leak is repaired, remove any residual dye using refrigerant dye cleaner (J-43872) to prevent
future misdiagnosis.
4. Perform a system performance check and then verify t he leak repair using a electronic refrigerant leak
detector (J-41995).
NOTE:
• Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C components, for example, anti-freeze, wind-
shield washer fluid, solvents and oils, may falsely tri gger the leak detector. Make sure the surfaces to be
checked are clean.
• Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air.
• Do not allow the sensor tip of the electronic refri gerant leak detector (J-41995) to contact with any sub-
stance. This can also cause false readings and may damage the detector.
Dye InjectionINFOID:0000000003533309
NOTE:
This procedure is only necessary when recharging the system or when the compressor has seized and must
be replaced.
1. Check the A/C system static (at rest) pressure . Pressure must be at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/cm
2 , 50 psi).
2. Pour one bottle 7.4 cc (1/4 ounce) of the HFC-134a (R -134a) fluorescent leak detection dye (J-41447) into
the HFC-134a (R-134a) dye injector (J-41459).
CAUTION: Expansion valve bolts : 4 N·m (0.41 kg-m, 35 in-lb)

• Tighten the intake manifold bolts in numerical order as shown.
• Install the EVAP canister purge control solenoi
d valve connector with it facing front of engine.
• Tighten the electronic throttle control actuator bolts of the electric throttle control actuator equally and diago-
nally in several steps.
• After installation perform inspection after installation.
• Install the water hose so that its overlap width for connection is between 27 mm (1.06 in) and 32 mm (1.26
in) (target: 27 mm 1.06 in).
Connecting Quick Connector of Fuel Tube
Install quick connector as follows (the steps are the same for quick connectors on both engine side and vehi-
cle side except for the quick connector cap).
1. Make sure no foreign substances are deposited in and around tube and quick connector, and they are not
damaged.
2. Thinly apply new engine oil around the fuel tube from tip end to the spool end.
3. Align center to insert quick connector straight into fuel tube. • Insert until the paint mark for engagement identification (white)
goes completely inside quick connector so that you cannot see
it from the straight side of the connected part. Use a mirror to
check this where it is not possible to view directly from the
straight side, such as quick connector on vehicle side.
• Insert fuel tube into quick connector until top spool is com- pletely inside quick connector, and 2nd level spool exposes
right below quick connector on engine side.
CAUTION:
• Hold "A" position in illustration when inserting fuel tubeinto quick connector.
• Carefully align center to avoid inclined insertion to pre-
vent damage to O-ring inside quick connector.
• Insert until you hear a "click" sound and actually feel the engagement.
• To avoid misidentification of engagement with a similar
sound, be sure to perform the next step.
4. Pull quick connector by hand holding "A" position. Make sure it is completely engaged (connected) so that it does not come out from fuel tube.
NOTE:
Recommended pulling force is 50 N (5.1 kg, 11.2 lb).

6. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
After installing the fuel tubes, make sure there are no fuel leaks at the connections using the following steps.
1. Apply fuel pressure to the fuel lines by turning ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). Then check for fuel leaks at the connections.
NOTE:
Use mirrors for checking on hidden points.
2. Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at the connections. CAUTION:
Do not touch the engine immediately after stopping, as engine becomes extremely hot.
