Simple inspection and service
<Vehicles with air conditioner>
If refrigerant is insufficient, the cooling efficiency will
be diminished. Therefore, check the refrigerant
level from time to time. Run the air conditioner so it
gives maximum cooling performance (place the fan
speed dial in the position and the temperature
adjustment dial in the position ). Observe the
receiver’s inspection window through the grille.
Check for the presence of bubbles. The refrigerant
is sufficient if no bubbles are visible through the
glass when the air conditioner is being operated. If
bubbles are visible, the amount of refrigerant is
insufficient. You can have your system charged at
your nearest authorized dealer.
Refrigerant level normal
Insufficient refrigerant
Excessive refrigerant, or no refrigerant
If you observe condition and the air condi-
tioner cools the cab poorly, have the air condi-
tioner inspected by an authorized dealer.
CAUTION
•
Running the air conditioner without refriger-
ant will damage the air conditioner compres-
sor. Check the refrigerant level if the air
conditioner stops working efficiently.
•
To protect the environment, your vehicle’s
air conditioning system uses refrigerant
HFC-134a which does not harm the ozone
layer.
Since charging the system with this refriger-
ant requires a method different from the con-
ventional method, be sure to contact your
nearest authorized dealer if your system
needs to be serviced.
•
Using any refrigerant other than the HFC-
134a will cause a malfunction of the air con-
ditioning system. Be sure to use only the
HFC-134a.
NOTE:
Do not release refrigerant into the atmosphere.
When necessary because of servicing or scrapping
of the vehicle, consult the nearest authorized dealer
in order to have the refrigerant properly removed.
