USING R-134a REFRIGERANT
HANDLING/SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1) Always work in a well-ventilated, clean area. Refrigerant
is colorless and invisible as a gas. Refrigerant is heavier than
oxygen and will displace oxygen in a confined area. Avoid breathing
refrigerant vapors. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat.
2) Always wear eye protection when working around A/C system
and refrigerant. The system's high pressure can cause severe injury to
eyes and skin if a hose were to burst. If necessary, wear rubber
gloves or other protective clothing.
3) Refrigerant evaporates quickly when exposed to atmosphere,
freezing anything it contacts. If liquid refrigerant contacts eyes or
skin (frostbite), DO NOT rub eyes or skin. Immediately flush affected
area with cool water for 15 minutes and consult a doctor or hospital.
4) Never use R-134a in combination with compressed air for
leak testing. Pressurized R-134a in the presence of oxygen (air
concentrations greater than 60 percent by volume) may form a
combustible mixture. DO NOT introduce compressed air into R-134a
containers (full or empty), A/C system components, or service
equipment.
5) DO NOT expose A/C system components to high temperatures
(steam cleaning for example), as excessive heat will cause refrigerant\
system pressure to increase. Never expose refrigerant directly to open
flame. If refrigerant needs to be warmed, place bottom of refrigerant
tank in warm water. Water temperature MUST NOT exceed 125
F (52C).
CAUTION: When R-134a is exposed to an open flame, drawn into engine,
or detected with a Halide (propane) leak tester, a poisonous
gas is formed. Keep work areas well ventilated.
6) Use care when handling refrigerant containers. DO NOT
drop, strike, puncture, or incinerate containers. Use DOT 4BW or DOT
4BA approved refrigerant containers.
7) Never overfill refrigerant containers. The safe filling
level of a refrigerant container MUST NOT exceed 60\% of the
container's gross weight rating. Store refrigerant containers at
temperatures less than 125
F (52C).
8) R-134a refrigerant is sold and stored in 30- or 50-pound
Light Blue containers, while Freon (R-12) is stored in White colored
containers.
9) Refrigerant R-12 and R-134a must never be mixed, as they
and their desiccants and lubricants are not compatible. If the
refrigerants are mixed, system cross-contamination or A/C system
component failure may occur. Always use separate servicing and
refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment.
10) Read and follow equipment manufacturer's instructions for
all service equipment to be used. The Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS), provided by refrigerant manufacturer/supplier, contains
valuable information regarding the safe handling of refrigerants.

DESCRIPTION
The Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) provides an engine
no-run feature, flashes headlights and sounds horn if any door or hood
is opened without using key or remote keyless entry transmitter, or if
battery cables are disconnected then reconnected when system is
activated.
Anti-theft system is controlled by Central Timer Module
(CTM). CTM is located under driver's side of dash panel, right of
steering column. If CTM is faulty, CTM cannot be repaired and must be
replaced.
VTSS is also equipped with a power-up mode. If battery is
disconnected or looses power while VTSS is armed, VTSS system remains
armed when power is restored. A temper alert signal is sounded on
vehicle entry if VTSS was triggered while away from vehicle. Horn will
sound 3 times alerting owner VTSS was triggered.
OPERATION
ARMING PROCEDURE (PASSIVE)
Remove key from ignition. Ensure headlights are off. Lock
doors while open, using power lock switch. Power lock switch will not
operate with key in ignition or headlights on while door is open.
Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) will not arm using key in lock
cylinder or mechanical lock button. While system is arming, SECURITY
light will flash rapidly for 15 seconds. Opening any door or turning
the ignition key while light is flashing will abort arming process.
Once arming process is complete, SECURITY light will go out.
ARMING PROCEDURE (ACTIVE)
Pressing Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter LOCK button
will actively arm Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS). All doors must\
be closed and ignition switch in OFF position. While system is arming,
SECURITY light will flash rapidly for 15 seconds. Opening any door or
turning the ignition key while light is flashing will abort arming
process. Once arming process is complete, SECURITY light will go out.
DISARMING
Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS) can be disarmed 2 ways:
unlock vehicle using key in any door and pressing remote keyless entry
transmitter UNLOCK button. If alarm has been set off, either method
can be used to disarm and shut-off horn.
CENTRAL TIMER MODULE (CTM)
Central Timer Module (CTM) is Vehicle Theft Security System
(VTSS) processor. CTM uses the data bus network to allow sharing and
reporting of sensor information. If a door ajar sensor is opened while
VTSS is set, a signal is sent to flash headlights and sound horn. PCM
is also notified through bus network to enable engine no-run feature.
