Air Conditioning System
A/C System Caution
CAUTION:
The air conditioning system of this vehicle uses refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a).
None of refrigerant, compressor oil and component parts is interchangeable between two types of A/
C: one using refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) and the other using refrigerant CFC-12 (R-12).
Be sure to check which refrigerant is used before any service work including inspection and
maintenance. For identification between these two types, refer to "Refrigerant Type Construction: ".
When replenishing or changing refrigerant and compressor oil and when replacing parts, make sure
that the material or the part to be used is appropriate to the A/C installed in the vehicle being serviced.
Use of incorrect one will result in leakage of refrigerant, damage in parts or other faulty condition.
Precautions on Servicing A/C System
WARNING:
Should refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) is exposed to your eye(s), consult a doctor immediately.
• Do not use your hand to rub affected eye(s). Instead, use fresh cold water to splash it over affected
area to thus gradually raise its temperature above the freezing point.
• Obtain proper treatment as soon as possible from a doctor or eye specialist. Should liquid
refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) is exposed to your skin, such affected part should be treated in the
same manner as when skin is frostbitten or frozen.
Handling Refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a)
• Always wear goggles to protect your eyes.
• Avoid direct contact to liquid refrigerant.
• Do not heat refrigerant container higher than 40 C (104 F).
• Do not discharge refrigerant into atmosphere.
• Do not expose bright metals to liquid refrigerant. Refrigerant combined with moisture is corrosive and tarnishes
surfaces of bright metals including chrome.
