PRECAUTIONS
• To reinstall the rubber hose securely, make sure that hose insertionlength and orientation is correct. (If tube is equipped with hose
stopper, insert rubber hose into tube until it butts up against hose
stopper.)
HOSE CLAMPING
• If old rubber hose is re-used, install hose clamp in its original posi-tion (at the indentation where the old clamp was). If there is a trace
of tube bulging left on the old rubber hose, align rubber hose at
that position.
• Discard old clamps; replace with new ones.
• After installing plate clamps, apply force to them in the direction of the arrow, tightening rubber hose equally all around.
Engine OilsINFOID:0000000003771204
Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact
with used oil.
If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
HEALTH PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS
• Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils.
• Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.
• Do not put oily rags in pockets.
• Avoid contaminating clothes, pa rticularly underpants, with oil.
• Heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should not be worn. Overalls must be cleaned regu- larly.
• First aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts and wounds.
• Use barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to help the removal of oil from the skin.
• Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will help). Prepara-
tions containing lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been removed.
• Do not use gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.
• If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.
• Where practical, degrease components prior to handling.
• Where there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be worn, for example, chemical goggles or face
shields; in addition an eye wash facility should be provided.

• Do not apply excessive shock to the control unit by dropping or hit- ting it.
• Be careful to prevent condensation in the control unit due to rapid
temperature changes and do not let water or rain get on it. If water
is found in the control unit, dry it fully and then install it in the vehi-
cle.
• Be careful not to let oil to get on the control unit connector.
• Avoid cleaning the control unit with volatile oil.
• Do not disassemble the control unit, and do not remove the upper and lower covers.
• When using a DMM, be careful not to let test probes get close to each other to prevent the power transistor in the control unit from
damaging battery voltage because of short circuiting.
• When checking input and output signals of the control unit, use the specified check adapter.

5. When the repair work is completed, return the ignition switch to the ″LOCK ″ position before connecting
the battery cables. (At this time, the steering lock mechanism will engage.)
6. Perform a self-diagnosis check of a ll control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)INFOID:0000000003775286
WARNING:
 CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and HFC-134a (R-134a) refr igerant are not compatible. If the refrigerants
are mixed compressor failure is likely to occur. Refer to HA-4, "Contaminated Refrigerant"
. To deter-
mine the purity of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use recovery/recycling equip-
ment and refrigerant identifier.
 Use only specified oil for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components. If
oil other than that specified is used , compressor failure is likely to occur.
 The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) oi l rapidly absorbs moisture from the atmosphere. The following
handling precautions must be observed:
- When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to
minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
- When installing refrigerant co mponents to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just
before connecting the components . Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible
to minimize the entry of moisture into system.
- Only use the specified oil from a sealed container. Immediately reseal containers of oil. Without
proper sealing, oil will become moisture saturat ed and should not be used.
- Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat.
Remove HFC-134a (R-134a) from the A/C system usin g certified service equipment meeting require-
ments of SAE J2210 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recycling equipment], or J2209 [HFC-134a (R-134a) recovery
equipment]. If accidental system discharge occurs , ventilate work area before resuming service.
Additional health and safety in formation may be obtained from refrigerant and oil manufacturers.
- Do not allow A/C oil to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Damage may result.
Precaution for Procedure without Cowl Top CoverINFOID:0000000003775287
When performing the procedure after removing cowl top cover, cover
the lower end of windshield with urethane, etc.
Contaminated RefrigerantINFOID:0000000003775288
If a refrigerant other than pure HFC-134a (R-134a) is identified in a vehicle, your options are:
 Explain to the customer that environmental regulations prohibit the release of contaminated refrigerant into
the atmosphere.
 Explain that recovery of the contaminated refri gerant could damage your service equipment and refrigerant
supply.
 Suggest the customer return the vehicle to the locati on of previous service where the contamination may
have occurred.
 If you choose to perform the repair, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and contain-
ers. Do not recover contamin ated refrigerant into your existing service equipment. If your facility does
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.

*: Always check with the Parts Department for the latest parts information.
WARNING:
Make sure all refrigerant is discharged into the recycling equipment and the pressure in the system is
less than atmospheric pressure. Then gradually loo sen the discharge side hose fitting and remove it.
CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
 When the compressor is removed, st ore it in the same position as it is when mounted on the car.
Failure to do so will cause oil to enter the low pressure chamber.
 When connecting tubes, always use a to rque wrench and a back-up wrench.
 After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all op enings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
 When installing an air conditioner in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the opera-
tion. Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for con-
nection.
 Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
 Thoroughly remove moisture from the refriger ation system before charging the refrigerant.
 Always replace used O-rings.
 When connecting tube, apply oil to circle of the O-ri ngs shown in illustration. Be careful not to apply
oil to threaded portion.
Oil name: NISSAN A/C System Oil Type S or equivalent
 O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
 When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
 Connect tube until you hear it cl ick, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that
the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.
 After connecting line, conduct leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the gas leaking point is f ound, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten con-
nections of seal seat to the specified torque.
