MAINTENANCE OF OIL LEVEL
The compressor oil is circulating in the system together wi th the refrigerant. It is necessary to fill compressor
with oil when replacing A/C system parts or when a large amount of refrigerant leakage is detected. It is impor-
tant to always maintain oil level within the spec ified level, otherwise the following conditions may occur:
• Insufficient oil amount: Stuck compressor
• Excessive oil amount: Insufficient coo ling (caused by insufficient heat exchange)
InspectionINFOID:0000000009463931
If a compressor is malfunctioning (internal noise, insufficient cooling), check the compressor oil.
1.COMPRESSOR OIL JUDGMENT
1. Remove the compressor. Refer to HA-30, "COMPRESSOR : Removal and Installation"
.
2. Sample compressor oil and judge below according to the figure.
Judgement result 1>>Replace compressor only.
Judgement result 2>>Replace compressor and liquid tank.
Perform Oil Return OperationINFOID:0000000009463932
CAUTION:
If a large amount of refrigerant or oil leakage is detected, do not perform oil return operation.
1. Start the engine and set to the following conditions: • Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
• A/C switch: ON
• Fan (blower) speed: Maximum speed set
• Intake door position: Recirculation
• Temperature setting: Full cold
2. Perform oil return operation for approximately 10 minutes.
3. Stop the engine.
4. Oil return operation is complete.

PRECAUTIONS
Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000009951773
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severi ty of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service t he system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoper ative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintentional act ivation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipm ent on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identi fied by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Un it or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or el ectric power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor( s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers , always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery and wait at least three mi nutes before performing any service.
Precaution for WorkINFOID:0000000009463086
• When removing or disassembling each component, be ca reful not to damage or deform it. If a component
may be subject to interference, be sure to protect it with a shop cloth.
• When removing (disengaging) components with a screwdriver or similar tool, be sure to wrap the component with a shop cloth or vinyl tape to protect it.
• Protect the removed parts with a shop cloth and prevent them from being dropped.
• Replace a deformed or damaged clip.
• If a part is specified as a non-reusabl e part, always replace it with a new one.
• Be sure to tighten bolts and nuts securely to the specified torque.
• After installation is complete, be sure to check that each part works properly.
• Follow the steps below to clean components:
- Water soluble dirt:
• Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water, wring the water out of the cloth and wipe the dirty area.
• Then rub with a soft, dry cloth.
-Oily dirt:
• Dip a soft cloth into lukewarm water with mild detergent (concentration: within 2 to 3%) and wipe the dirty area.
• Then dip a cloth into fresh water, wring the water out of the cloth and wipe the detergent off.
• Then rub with a soft, dry cloth.
- Do not use organic solvent such as thinner, benzene, alcohol or gasoline.
- For genuine leather seats, use a genuine leather seat cleaner.
Working with HFC-134a (R-134a)INFOID:0000000009463087
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-25, "Inspection"
. To determine the purity
of HFC-134a (R-134a) in the vehicle and recovery tank, use Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling Recharg-
ing equipment and Refrigerant Identifier.
