PRECAUTIONS
Revision: November 20092006 QX56

If you choose to perform the repair, recover the refrigerant using only dedicated equipment and contain-
ers. Do not recover contaminated refrigerant into your existing service equipment. If your facility
does not have dedicated recovery equipment, you may contact a local refrigerant product retailer for avail-
able service. This refrigerant must be disposed of in accordance with all federal and local regulations. In
addition, replacement of all refrigerant system components on the vehicle is recommended.

If the vehicle is within the warranty period, the air conditioner warranty is void. Please contact NISSAN
Customer Affairs for further assistance.
General Refrigerant PrecautionsEJS003WR
WARNING:

Do not release refrigerant into the air. Use approved recovery/recycling equipment to capture the
refrigerant every time an air conditioning system is discharged.

Always wear eye and hand protection (goggles and gloves) when working with any refrigerant or
air conditioning system.

Do not store or heat refrigerant containers above 52 °C (125 °F).

Do not heat a refrigerant container with an open flame; if container warming is required, place the
bottom of the container in a warm pail of water.

Do not intentionally drop, puncture, or incinerate refrigerant containers.

Keep refrigerant away from open flames: poisonous gas will be produced if refrigerant burns.

Refrigerant will displace oxygen, therefore be certain to work in well ventilated areas to prevent
suffocation.

Do not pressure test or leak test HFC-134a (R-134a) service equipment and/or vehicle air condi-
tioning systems with compressed air during repair. Some mixtures of air and HFC-134a (R-134a)
have been shown to be combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause
injury or property damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refriger-
ant manufacturers.
Precautions for Leak Detection DyeEJS003WS

The A/C system contains a fluorescent leak detection dye used for locating refrigerant leaks. An ultraviolet
(UV) lamp is required to illuminate the dye when inspecting for leaks.

Always wear fluorescence enhancing UV safety goggles to protect your eyes and enhance the visibility of
the fluorescent dye.

The fluorescent dye leak detector is not a replacement for an electronic refrigerant leak detector. The fluo-
rescent dye leak detector should be used in conjunction with an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-
41995).

For your safety and the customer's satisfaction, read and follow all manufacturer's operating instructions
and precautions prior to performing work.

A compressor shaft seal should not be repaired because of dye seepage. The compressor shaft seal
should only be repaired after confirming the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector (J-41995).

Always remove any dye from the leak area after repairs are complete to avoid a misdiagnosis during a
future service.

Do not allow dye to come into contact with painted body panels or interior components. If dye is spilled,
clean immediately with the approved dye cleaner. Fluorescent dye left on a surface for an extended period
of time cannot be removed .

Do not spray the fluorescent dye cleaning agent on hot surfaces (engine exhaust manifold, etc.).

Do not use more than one refrigerant dye bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) per A/C system.

Leak detection dyes for HFC-134a (R-134a) and CFC-12 (R-12) A/C systems are different. Do not use
HFC-134a (R-134a) leak detection dye in CFC-12 (R-12) A/C systems or CFC-12 (R-12) leak detection
dye in HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems or A/C system damage may result.

The fluorescent properties of the dye will remain for over three (3) years unless a compressor failure
occurs.
A/C Identification LabelEJS003WT
Vehicles with factory installed fluorescent dye have this identification label on the underside of hood.
