Precautions
A/C System CautionS7RS0B7210001
CAUTION!
• The air conditioning system of this vehicle uses refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a).
None of refrigerant, compressor oil and component parts is interchangeable between two types of
A/C: one using refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) and the other using refrigerant CFC-12 (R-12).
Be sure to check which refrigerant is used be fore any service work including inspection and
maintenance. For identification between these two types, refer to “Refrigerant Type Identification”.
When replenishing or changing refrigerant and comp ressor oil and when replacing parts, make sure
that the material or the part to be used is appropriate to the A/C installed in the vehicle being
serviced.
Use of incorrect one will result in leakage of refrigerant, damage in parts or other faulty condition.
• When servicing the compressor, keep dirt or foreign material away from getting on or into the compressor parts and system. Clean tools and a clean work area are important for proper service.
The compressor connection and the outside of the compressor should be cleaned before any “On
vehicle” repair or before removal of the compressor. The parts must be kept clean at all times and
any parts to be reassembled should be cleaned with trichloromethane, naphtha, kerosene or
equivalent solvent and dried with dry air. Use only lint free cloths to wipe parts.
• When compressor is removed from the vehicle for servicing, the oil remaining in the compressor
should be discarded and new refrigerant oil added to the compressor.
Minor repair procedures may be done on the vehicle without discharging the system. Major repair
procedures require that the system be discharged of refrigerant.
Precautions on Servicing A/C SystemS7RS0B7210002
WARNING!
Should refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) is exposed to your eye(s), consult a doctor immediately.
• Do not use your hand to rub affected eye(s). Instead, use fresh cold water to splash it over affected area to thus gradually raise its temperature above the freezing point.
• Obtain proper treatment as soon as possible from a doctor or eye specialist. Should liquid refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) is exposed to your skin, such affected part should be treated in the
same manner as when skin is frostbitten or frozen.
Handling Refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a)
• Always wear goggles to protect your eyes.
• Avoid direct contact to liquid refrigerant.
• Do not heat refrigerant container higher than 40 °C (104 ° F).
• Do not discharge refrigerant into atmosphere.
• Do not expose bright metals to liquid refrigerant. Refrig erant combined with moisture is corrosive and tarnishes
surfaces of bright metals including chrome.

General Description
Refrigerant Type IdentificationS7RS0B7211001
Whether the A/C system in the vehicle uses HFC-134a (R-134a) or CFC-12 (R-12) is indicated on label (1) on the
compressor. Also, it can be checked by th e shape of the service (charge) valve (2).
[A]: HFC-134a (R-134a) [B]: CFC-12 (R-12)

Charge
CAUTION!
• Because the sight glass is not used for this A/C system, do not perform an additional
charge to the A/C system. To charge the
proper amount of refrigerant, recover and
evacuate the A/C system first. And then,
charge the proper amount of refrigerant
into the A/C system.
• Always charge refrigerant through low pressure side of A/C system after the initial
charge is performed from the high
pressure side with the engine stopped.
• Never charge refrigerant through high pressure side of A/C system with engine
running.
• Do not charge refrigerant while compressor is hot.
• When installing tap valve to refrigerant container to make a hole there through,
carefully follow dire ctions given by
manufacturer.
• A pressure gauge should always be used before and during refrigerant charge.
• The refrigerant container should be emptied of refrigerant when discarding it.
• The refrigerant container should not be heated up to 40 °C (104 °F) or over.
• Refrigerant container should not be reversed in direction during refrigerant
charge. Reversing in direction causes
liquid refrigerant to enter compressor,
causing troubles, such as compression of
liquid refrigerant and the like.
NOTE
The air conditioning system contains HFC-
134a (R-134a).
Described here is a method to charge the air
conditioning system with refrigerant from the
refrigerant service container.
When charging refrigerant recovered by
using the refrigerant and recycling
equipment (when recycling refrigerant),
follow the procedure described in the
equipment manufacturer’s instruction
manual.
Charge proper amount of refrigerant accurately in
accordance with the following procedure.
Specified amount of refrigerant
370 ± 20 g (13.0 ± 0.7 oz)
The initial charge of the A/C system is performed
through the high pressure side with the engine stopped.
And next, this method must be followed by charging from
the low pressure side with the engine running.
1) Check if hoses are routed properly after evacuating the system.
2) Connect low charging hose (1) and high charging hose (2) of the manifold gauge set (3) in position.
Then, open refrigerant container valve (4) to purge
the charging line.
3) Open the high pressure side valve (5) and charge refrigerant to system.
4) After a while, open the low pressure side valve (6) and close the high pressure side valve.
WARNING!
Make sure that high pressure side valve is
closed securely.
5) Start engine and keep engine speed at 1500 r/min, and then operate A/C system.
6) Charge A/C system with refrigerant in vapor state. At this time, refrigerant container should be held
upright.
