HFC-134a (R-134a) Service Tool and Equipment Never mix HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant and/or its specified lubricant with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and/
or its lubricant.
Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant/
lubricant.
Refrigerant container fittings, service hose fittings and service equipment fittings (equipment which handles
refrigerant and/or lubricant) are different between CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). This is to avoid
mixed use of the refrigerants/lubricant.
Never use adapters that convert one size fitting to another: refrigerant/lubricant contamination occurs and
compressor malfunction may result.

Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers do
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if an
improper connection is attempted, discharge and contamination may
occur.
REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE
Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-
fied lubricants have been used with the scale. The hose fitting must
be 1/2″-16 ACME if the scale controls refrigerant flow electronically.
CHARGING CYLINDER
Use of a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be vented into the air from the top valve of
the cylinder when filling the cylinder with refrigerant. Also, the accuracy of the cylinder is generally less than
that of an electronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge equipment.

CVT FLUID CONDITION
Check CVT fluid condition.
If CVT fluid is very dark or smells burned, check operation of CVT.
Flush cooling system after repair of CVT.
If CVT fluid contains frictional material (clutches, brakes, etc.),
replace radiator and flush cooler line using cleaning solvent and
compressed air after repair of CVT. Refer to CO-13, "
Exploded
View".
CVT FLUID: RE0F09B : ChangingINFOID:0000000003862430
CAUTION:
Replace O-ring with new ones at the final stage of the operation when installing.
1. Remove drain plug from oil pan.
2. Remove drain plug gasket from drain plug.
3. Install drain plug gasket to drain plug.
CAUTION:
Never reuse drain plug gasket.
4. Install drain plug to oil pan.
5. Fill CVT fluid from CVT fluid charging pipe to the specified level.
CAUTION:
Use only Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2. Never mix with other fluid.
Using CVT fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 will deteriorate in driveability and
CVT durability, and may damage the CVT, which is not covered by the warranty.
When filling CVT fluid, take care not to scatter heat generating parts such as exhaust.
Sufficiently shake the container of CVT fluid before using.
Delete CVT fluid deterioration date with CONSULT-III after changing CVT fluid. Refer to TM-37,
"CONSULT-III Function (TRANSMISSION)".
6. With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle in an urban area.
NOTE:
When ambient temperature is 20°C (68°F), it takes about 10 minutes for the CVT fluid to warm up to 50 to
80°C (122 to 176°F).
7. Check CVT fluid level and condition.
8. Repeat steps 1 to 5 if CVT fluid has been contaminated.

Preparation Before Adjustment
Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the road wheel.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.
After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the road
wheel.
Wheel Balance Adjustment
If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting, select
and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for road wheels.
1. Set road wheel on tire balance machine using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.
2. When inner and outer unbalance values are shown on the tire balance machine indicator, multiply outer
unbalance value by 5/3 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight
with a value closest to the calculated value above and install to the designated outer position of, or at the
designated angle in relation to the road wheel.
CAUTION:
Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.
Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the mating surface of the road wheel.
a. Indicated unbalance value × 5/3 = balance weight to be installed
Calculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz) × 5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) ⇒ 37.5 g (1.32 oz) bal-
ance weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)
NOTE:
Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated
balance weight value.
Example:
36.2 ⇒ 35 g (1.23 oz)
36.3 ⇒ 37.5 g (1.32 oz)
b. Installed balance weight in the position.
When installing balance weight (1) to road wheels, set it into
the grooved area (A) on the inner wall of the road wheel as
shown in the figure so that the balance weight center (B) is
aligned with the tire balance machine indication position
(angle) (C).
CAUTION:
Always use genuine NISSAN adhesion balance weights.
Balance weights are non-reusable; always replace with
new ones.
Do not install more than three sheets of balance weight.
