8. WARNING: Refrigerant must always be recycled before re-use to ensure
that the purity of the refrigerantis high enough for safe use in the air
conditioning system. Recycling should always be carried out with
equipment which is design certified by Underwriter Laboratory Inc. for
compliance with SEA J1991. Other equipment may not recycle refrigerant
to the required level of purity. R143a Refrigerant Recover Recycling
Recharging station must not be used with any other type of
refrigerant.Refrigerant R134a from domestic and comercial sources must
not be used in motor vehicles air conditioning systems.
Allow the system to recover the refrigerant from the system.
9. Close the valves on the refrigerant station.
10. Turn the main switch 'OFF'.
11. Close the valves on the connections.
12. Disconnect the high and low pressure connections.
13. Install the dust covers to the connectors.
14. Open the tap at the rear of the station to drain the refrigerant oil.
15. Measure and record the quantity of refrigerant oil recovered from the
system.
16. Close the tap at the rear of the station.
17. Evacuation.
18. Remove the dust covers from the high and low pressure connections.
19. Connect the high and low pressure lines to the appropriate connections.
20. Open the valves on the connections.
21. Turn the valves on the station to the correct positions.
22. Turn the process switch to the correct position.
23. Turn the main switch to 'ON'.
24. Allow the station to evacuate the A/C system.
25. CAUTION: The system must be evacuated immediatley before
recharging commences. Delay between evacuation and recharging is not
permitted
Recharging
26. Close the valves on the refrigerant station.
27. Close the valve on the oil charger.
28. Disconnect the yellow line from the refrigerant station.
29. Remove the cover from the oil charger.
30. Pour the correct quantity of refrigerant oil into the oil charger.
31. Install the cover to the oil charger.
32. Connect the yellow line to the refrigerant station.
33. Open the valve on the oil charger.
34. Move the pointer on the refrigerant gauge to mark the position of the
refrigerant drop.
35. Slowly open the correct valve on the refrigerant to allow the vacuum to
pull the refrigerant into the system.
36. Close the valve on the refrigerant station when the correct amount of
refrigerant has been drawn into the air conditioning system.
37. Turn the main switch 'OFF'.
38. Close the valves on the connections.
39. Disconnect the high and low pressure connections.
inlet duct downstream of the blower, where any heat generated during operation is dissipated by the air flow.
Auxiliary Coolant Pump
On all vehicles except 3.0L, an auxiliary coolant pump is installed on the rear right side of the radiator housing, in the return
line from the heater core. The auxiliary coolant pump is an electric pump that boosts the flow of coolant through the heater
core.
Ventilation Outlets
The ventilation outlets allow the free flow of air through the passenger compartment. The outlets are installed in the LH and
RH rear quarter panels, below the rear lamps. Each ventilation outlet consists of a grille covered by a soft rubber flap, and is
effectively a non-return valve. The flaps open and close automatically depending on the pressure differential between the air
inside and outside the vehicle.
