Air conditioning system refrigerant and
lubricant recommendations
If the air conditioning seems less effective than usual, the cause
might be a refrigerant leak. We recommend you to have the
system inspected.
The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged
with the refrigerant HFC-134a and the lubricant SUN-PAG56.
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe dam-
age which will result in the need to replace your vehicle’s
entire air conditioning system. The release of refrigerant into
the atmosphere should be prevented.
It is recommended that the refrigerant be recovered and recy-
cled for further use.
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioning should be operated for at least five min-
utes each week, even in cold weather. This is to prevent poor
lubrication of the compressor internal parts and to maintain the
air conditioning in the best operating condition.

An air filter has been incorporated into this air conditioning so
that dirt and dust are cleaned from the air.
Replace the air filter periodically as its ability to clean the air
will be reduced as it collects pollen and dirt. For the mainte-
nance interval, refer to the “SERVICE BOOKLET”.
NOTE
●
Operation in certain conditions such as driving on a dusty
road and frequent use of the air conditioning can lead to
reduction of service life of the filter. When the air flow
rate suddenly drops or when the windscreen or windows
start to fog up easily, the air filter requires replacement.
We recommend you to have it checked.
