SERVICING CLIMATE CONTROL
The climate control system in your INFINITI
is charged with a refrigerant designed with
the environment in mind. This refrigerant
will not harm the earth ’s ozone layer.
However, special charging equipment and
lubricant are required when servicing your
INFINITI air conditioner. Using improper
refrigerants or lubricants will cause severe
damage to your climate control system.
(See “Capacities and recommended fuel/
lubricants ”in the “9. Technical and con-
sumer information ”section for climate control system refrigerant and lubricant
recommendations.)
Your INFINITI retailer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly climate con-
trol system.
WARNING
The system contains refrigerant under high
pressure. To avoid personal injury, any air
conditioner service should be done only by
an experienced technician with the proper
equipment.
