General Description
HVAC SYSTEM (HEATER, VENTILATOR AND A/C)
C: CAUTION
1. HFC-134A A/C SYSTEM
•The cooling system components for the HFC-
134a system such as the refrigerant and compres-
sor oil are different from the conventional CFC-12
system components and they are incompatible with
each other.
•Vehicles with the HFC-134a system can be iden-
tified by the label (A) attached to the vehicle.
Before maintenance, check which A/C system is in-
stalled to the vehicle.
2. COMPRESSOR OIL
•HFC-134a compressor oil has no compatibility
with that of CFC-12 system.
•Use only Denso Oil 8, the manufacturer-autho-
rized compressor oil for the HFC-134a system.
•Do not mix multiple compressor oils.
If CFC-12 compressor oil is used in the HFC-134a
A/C system, the compressor may become stuck
due to poor lubrication, or the refrigerant may leak
due to swelling of rubber parts.
On the other hand, if HFC-134a compressor oil is
used in a CFC-12 A/C system, the durability of the
A/C system will be lowered.
•HFC-134a compressor oil is very hygroscopic.
When replacing or installing/removing A/C parts,
immediately isolate the oil from atmosphere using a
plug or tape. In order to avoid moisture, store the oil
in a container with its cap tightly closed.
3. REFRIGERANT
•CFC-12 refrigerant cannot be used in a HFC-
134a A/C system. HFC-134a refrigerant, also can-
not be used in a CFC-12 A/C system.
•If an incorrect or no refrigerant is used, it will re-
sult in poor lubrication and the compressor itself
may be damaged.
4. HANDLING OF REFRIGERANT
•The refrigerant boils at approx. –30°C (22°F).
When handling it, be sure to wear protective gog-
gles and protective gloves. Direct contact of the re-
frigerant with skin may cause frostbite.
If the refrigerant gets into your eye, avoid rubbing
your eyes with your hands. Wash your eye with
plenty of water, and receive medical treatment from
an eye doctor.
•Do not heat a service can. If a service can is di-
rectly heated, or put into boiling water, the inside
pressure will become extremely high. This may
cause the can to explode. If a service can must be
warmed up, use warm water of 40°C (104°F) or less.
•Do not drop or subject a service can to impacts.
(Observe the precautions and operation procedure
described on the refrigerant can.)
•When the engine is running, do not open the
high-pressure valve of the manifold gauge. High-
pressure gas can back-flow resulting in an explo-
sion of the can.
•Provide good ventilation and do not work in a
closed area.
•In order to prevent global warming, avoid releas-
ing HFC-134a into the atmosphere. Using a refrig-
erant recovery system, discharge and recycle the
gas.

Refrigerant Charging Procedure
HVAC SYSTEM (HEATER, VENTILATOR AND A/C)
17) After confirming that there are no leaks with the
leak test, charge the required amount of refrigerant.
CAUTION:
Never run the engine while charging from the
high-pressure side.
18) Close the high-pressure valve when;
•the readings of low- / high-pressure gauges be-
come almost equal, after the charging speed is re-
duced,
•the HFC-134a source becomes empty, or the
system is full with the gas.
19) If the HFC-134a source is empty, close the
high-pressure valve, close the valve on the can tap,
and replace the HFC-134a source with a new one
to restart the operation.
20) Confirm that both the low- / high-pressure
valves can be closed. Start the engine with the A/C
switch OFF.
21) Quickly repeat ON-OFF cycles a few times to
prevent initial compressor damage.
22) Set up the vehicle as follows:
•A/C switch ON
•Engine running at 1,500 rpm
•Blower setting speed “HI”, (For models with rear
coolers, also turn the rear cooler fan switch to “HI”)
•Temperature setting to “MAX COOL”
•Air inlet setting to “RECIRC”
•Window open
23) While reading the low-pressure gauge, careful-
ly open the low-pressure valve with the refrigerant
source connected and the service hose purged.
CAUTION:
Never open the high-pressure valve with the en-
gine running. The high-pressure gas will back-
flow resulting in an explosion of the can.
24) Adjust the refrigerant flow to maintain the pres-
sure on the low-pressure side at 276 kPa (2.81 kg/
cm2, 40 psi) max.
25) After the system is fully charged, close the low-
pressure valve.
26) Close the valve on the refrigerant source.
27) Disconnect the hose from the service port, and
install the service port cap.
