VACUUM PUMP
The oil contained inside the vacuum pump is not compatible with the
specified oil for HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C systems. The vent side of
the vacuum pump is exposed to atmospheric pressure so the vac-
uum pump oil may migrate out of the pump into the service hose.
This is possible when the pump is switched off after evacuation (vac-
uuming) and hose is connected to it.
To prevent this migration, use a manual valve situated near the
hose-to-pump connection, as follows.

Usually vacuum pumps have a manual isolator valve as part of
the pump. Close this valve to isolate the service hose from the
pump.

For pumps without an isolator, use a hose equipped with a man-
ual shut-off valve near the pump end. Close the valve to isolate
the hose from the pump.

If the hose has an automatic shut off valve, disconnect the hose
from the pump: as long as the hose is connected, the valve is
open and lubricating oil may migrate.
Some one-way valves open when vacuum is applied and close
under a no vacuum condition. Such valves may restrict the pump's
ability to pull a deep vacuum and are not recommended.
MANIFOLD GAUGE SET
Be certain that the gauge face indicates HFC-134a (R-134a or
134a). Make sure the gauge set has 1/2 ″-16 ACME threaded con-
nections for service hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with
refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) along with specified oil.
SERVICE HOSES
Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described
(colored hose with black stripe). All hoses must include positive shut-
off devices (either manual or automatic) near the end of the hoses
opposite the manifold gauge.

Oil Adjustment Procedure for Compressor Replacement
1. Before connecting recovery/recycling equipment to vehicle, check recovery/recycling equipment gauges.
No refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If NG, recover refrigerant from equipment lines.
2. Connect recovery/recycling equipment to vehicle. Confirm refrigerant purity in supply tank using recovery/ recycling equipment and refrigerant identifier. If NG, refer to AT C - 5 , "
Contaminated Refrigerant" .
3. Confirm refrigerant purity in vehicle A/C system using recovery/recycling equipment and refrigerant identi- fier. If NG, refer to AT C - 5 , "
Contaminated Refrigerant" .
4. Discharge refrigerant into the refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Measure oil discharged into the recovery/recycling equipment.
5. Drain the oil from the “old” (removed) compressor into a graduated container and recover the amount of
oil drained.
6. Drain the oil from the “new ” compressor into a separate, clean container.
7. Measure an amount of new oil installed equal to amount drained from “old” compressor. Add this oil to
“new ” compressor through the suction port opening.
8. Measure an amount of new oil equal to the amount recovered during discharging. Add this oil to “new”
compressor through the suction port opening.
9. If the liquid tank also needs to be replaced, add an additional 5 m (0.2 US fl oz, 0.2 Imp fl oz) of oil at this time.

AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
DISPLAY SCREEN
Displays the operational status of the system.
AUTO SWITCH

The compressor, intake door, air mix doors, outlet doors and blower speed are automatically controlled so
that the in-vehicle temperature will reach, and be maintained at the set temperature selected by the oper-
ator.

When pressing AUTO switch, air inlet, air outlet, blower speed, and discharge air temperature are auto-
matically controlled.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL (TEMPERATURE CONTROL) (DRIVER SIDE)
Increases or decreases the set temperature.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL (TEMPERATURE CONTROL) (PASSENGER SIDE)
Increases or decreases the set temperature.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL (TEMPERATURE AND MODE CONTROL) (REAR)
Increases or decreases the set temperature. The mode also changes from foot at full hot setting, to foot/vent
mid-range (warm) setting, and then to panel on full cold setting.
RECIRCULATION () SWITCH

When REC switch is ON, REC switch indicator turns ON, and air inlet is set to REC.

When REC switch is turned OFF, or when compressor is turned from ON to OFF, REC switch is automati-
cally turned OFF. REC mode can be re-entered by pressing REC switch again.

REC switch is not operated when DEF switch is turned ON, at the D/F position or in floor position.
DEFROSTER () SWITCH
Positions the air outlet doors to the defrost position. Also positions the intake doors to the outside air position.
REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER SWITCH
When switch is ON, rear window and door mirrors are defogged.
OFF SWITCH
The compressor and blower are OFF, the intake doors are set to the outside air position, and the air outlet
doors are set to the foot (75% foot and 25% defrost) position.
A/C SWITCH
The compressor is ON or OFF.
(Pressing the A/C switch when the AUTO switch is ON will turn off the A/C switch and compressor.)
MODE SWITCH (FRONT)
Controls the air discharge outlets.
FRONT BLOWER CONTROL DIAL
Manually control the blower speed. Seven speeds are available for manual control (as shown on the display
screen).
