Service
The air conditioning system will not
be able to cool the cab interior
effectively if the refrigerant level is
low. Accordingly, the refrigerant
level must be topped up whenever
necessary.
Please contact your dealer
whenever refrigerant must be
added. Operation Tips
Operating the air conditioning while
the refrigerant level is too low leads
not only to poor cooling
performance but also to air
conditioning system damage.
This vehicle uses the new
refrigerant HFC134a (R134a) in the
air conditioning system. No other
type of refrigerant can be used. In
order to protect the environment,
care must be taken to ensure that
refrigerant gas is never released
into open air. When refrigerant must
be replaced, therefore, please
contact your dealer or other service
facility equipped with a gas recovery
installation system.

If your air conditioning system is
functioning properly, it is not
necessary to remove and replace
the refrigerant or compressor oil.
. A V-ribbed belt is used for the
fan belt. This type of belt
requires the tension to be
adjusted more accurately than is
required with the conventional V
belt. Inappropriate tension could
cause the belt to make noise or
break. When the fan belt is
damaged, electricity is not
properly generated or becomes
a cause of engine overheating.
You must check the tension of
the fan belt carefully.
. Use dealer-certified genuine
parts when changing the
fan belt. .
Have the vehicle inspected and
serviced at your dealer.
. The air conditioning drive belt,
if equipped, must be adjusted
after fan belt adjustment. If the
belt is not adjusted properly, the
A/C belt may experience
excessive tension, and possible
premature failure.
