SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Transmission oil inspection and replacement
1. After parking the vehicle on a plain, stop the engine.
2. After removing the oil filler plug and washer, inspect the manual transaxle fluid condition and quantity.
3. If the manual transaxle fluid is contaminated, drain it out by removing the oil drain plug.
4. Tighten the new oil drain plug and feed manual transaxle fluid to a proper level.
TORQUE:
29.4~34.4 Nm(3.0~3.5kgf.m, 21.7~25.3lb - ft)
Oil type: SAE75W/85
Oil quantity:
1.9 liter(2.0077 US qt, 1.6718 lmp qt)
5. Retighten the oil filler plug with a new washer.
TORQUE:
29.4~34.4 Nm(3.0~3.5kgf.m, 21.7~25.3lb - ft)
Back up lamp switch inspection
1.Disconnect the back up lamp switch connector(B).
2.Inspect the continuity of the switch. When the shift lever is located in reverse range, it should be applied an electric
current.
3. Replace the back up lamp switch, if necessary.
TORQUE:
29.4~34.4 Nm(3.0~3.5kgf.m, 21.7~25.3lb - ft)

3.Apply the specified fluid to the entire surface of the rack bushing oil seal.
Recommended fluid : PSF - 3
4. Install the oil seal (A) in the rack bushing (B).
5.Apply the specified fluid to the entire surface of the O - ring and install it in the rack bushing.
6. Apply the specified grease to the rack teeth.
Recommended grease
Multipurpose grease SAE J310a NLGI No.2
Do not plug the vent hole(A) in the rack with grease.
7.Insert the rack(A) into the rack housing(B) and install the rack bushing(C).

REFRIGERANT SYSTEM SERVICE BASICS
REFRIGERANT RECOVERY
Use only service equipment that is U.L - listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove HFC-
134a(R- 134a) from the air conditioning system.
a. Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
b. Be careful when connecting service equipment.
c. Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.
If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers. 1. Connect an R- 134a refrigerant
Recovery/Recycling/Charging System (A) to the high- pressure service port (B) and the low- pressure service port
(C) as shown, following the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
2.Measure the amount of refrigerant oil removed from the A/C system after the recovery process is completed. Be
sure to install the same amount of new refrigerant oil back into the A/C system before charging.
SYSTEM EVACUATION
Use only service equipment that is U.L - listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove HFC-
134a(R- 134a) from the air conditioning system.
a.Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
b. Be careful when connecting service equipment.
c. Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.
If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
Page 655 of 1575

Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers.1. When an A/C System has been opened to the atmosphere, such as during installation or repair, it must be
evacuated using an R- 134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Charging System. (If the system has been open for
several days, the receiver/dryer should be replaced, and the system should be evacuated for several hours.)
2. Connect an R- 134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Charging System (A) to the high- pressure service port (B) and
the low- pressure service port (C) as shown, following the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
3.If the low- pressure does not reach more than 93.3 kPa (700 mmHg, 27.6 in.Hg) in 10 minutes, there is probably a
leak in the system. Partially charge the system, and check for leaks (see Leak Test.).
4. Remove the low pressure valve from the low- pressure service port.
SYSTEM CHARGING
Use only service equipment that is U.L - listed and is certified to meet the requirements of SAE J2210 to remove HFC-
134a(R- 134a) from the air conditioning system.
a.Air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor can irritate your eyes, nose, or throat.
b. Be careful when connecting service equipment.
c. Do not breathe refrigerant or vapor.
If accidental system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
Additional health and safety information may be obtained from the refrigerant and lubricant manufacturers. 1. Connect an R- 134a refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Charging System (A) to the high- pressure service port (B) as
shown, following the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
2.Add the same amount of new refrigerant oil to system that was removed during recovery. Use only specified
refrigerant oil. Charge the system with 28.21 ± 0.88 oz. (800 ± 25g) of R- 134a refrigerant. Do not overcharge the
system the compressor will be damaged.
REFRIGERANT LEAK TEST
Always conduct a leak test with an electronic leak detector whenever leakage or refrigerant is suspected and when
conducting service operations which are accompanied by disassembly or loosening or connection fittings.
