FLUID LEVEL CHECK
A fluid loss in any system (except windshield
washer) may indicate a problem. Repair the system
at once.
Engine
oil level -Check level and add if
necessary. The best time to check the engine oil
level is
when the oil is warm. After stopping the
engine with the vehicle on a level surface, wait a
few minutes for the oil to drain back to the oil pan.
Pull
out the oil level indicator (dipstick). Wipe it
clean and push the oil level indicator back down all
the
way. Pull out the oil level indicator, keeping the
tip down, and look at the oil level on it.
Add oil, if needed, to keep the oil level above
the
"ADD" mark and between the "ADD" and
"FULL" marks in the operating range area. Avoid
overfilling the engine since this may cause engine
damage. Push
the oil level indicator back down all
the
way after taking the reading.
If you check the oil level when the oil is cold, do
not run the engine first. The cold oil will not drain
back
to the pan fast enough to give a true oil level.
Engine coolant level and condition -Check
engine coolant level in the coolant reservoir and
add engine
coolant if necessary. Inspect the engine
coolant and replace it if dirty or rusty.
Windshield washer fluid level -Check washer
fluid level in reservoir and add if necessary.
Power steering system reservoir level-Check
and keep at
proper level.
Brake master cylinder reservoir level -Check
fluid. Keep fluid at proper level. A low fluid level
can indicate
worn disc brake pads which may need
to be serviced.
Hydraulic clutch system -Check fluid l~vel in
the reservoir.
Add fluid as required.
Battery fluid level -Check fluid level in the
battery.
FLUID LEAK CHECK
Check for fuel, water, oil or other fluid leaks by
looking at the surface beneath the vehicle after it
has been parked for a while. Water dripping from
the air conditioning system after use is normal. If
you notice gasoline fumes or fluid at any time,
locate the source and correct it at once.
ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER
REPLACEMENT
Always use API SE, SF, SG, SH or ILSAC GF-1
quality oils of the proper viscosity.
When choosing an oil, consider the range of
temperatures the car will be operated in before the
next oil change. Then, select the recommended oil
viscosity
from the chart (Fig. OB-1).
Always change the oil and the oil filter as soon as
possible after driving in a dust storm.
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION OB-5
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM INSPECTION
Inspect coolant/anti-freeze. If coolant is dirty or
rusty, drain, flush and refill with new coolant. Keep
coolant at the proper mixture for proper freeze
protection,
corrosion inhibitor level and best engine
operating temperature.
Inspect hoses and replace if
cracked, swollen or deteriorated. Tighten hose
clamps if equipped with screw-type clamps. Clean
outside of radiator and air conditioning condenser.
Wash
filler cap and neck. To help ensure proper
operation, a pressure test of both the cooling
system and cap is also recommended.
EXHAUST SYSTEM INSPECTION
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler, heat
shields and hangers
for cracks, deterioration, or
damage.
Be alert to any changes in the sound of the exhaust
system
or any smell of fumes. These are signs the
system may be leaking or overheating. Repair the
system at once,
if these conditions exist. (See also
"Engine Exhaust Gas Safety" and "Three Way
Catalytic Converter" in Owner's manual.)
FUEL CAP, FUEL LINES, AND FUEL TANK
INSPECTION
Inspect the fuel tank, the fuel cap and the fuel lines
every
60,000 miles (96,000 km) for damage which
could cause leakage.
Inspect the fuel cap and the gasket for correct sealing
and physical damage. Replace any damaged parts.
DRIVE BELT INSPECTION
Check the belts driving the steering oil pump, the air
conditioning compressor, and the generator
for
cracks, fraying, wear, and correct tension every 30,000
miles (48,000 km). Adjust or replace as necessary.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT, BALANCE AND
TIRES OPERATION
Uneven or abnormal tire wear, or a pull right or left
on a straight and level road may show the need for
a wheel alignment. A vibration of the steering
wheel or seat at normal highway speeds means a
wheel balancing is needed. Check tire pressure
when the tires are "cold" (include the spare).
Maintain pressure as shown in the tire placard,
which is located on the driver's door lock pillar.
STEERING SYSTEM OPERATION
Be alert for any changes in steering action. An
inspection
or service is needed when the steering
wheel is harder
to turn or has too much free play, or
if there are unusual sounds when turning or parking.

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 08-9
LUBRICANT VISCOSITY CHART
Lubricants should be carefully selected according to the lubrication chart. It is also important to select viscosity of
lubricants according to the ambient temperature by referring to the following table.

The refrigeration cycle includes the following four
processes as the refrigerant changes repeatedly
from liquid to gas and back to liquid while circulat­
ing.
EVAPORATION
The refrigerant is changed from a liquid to a gas in­
side
the evaporator. The refrigerant mist that enters
the evaporator vaporizes readily. The liquid refrige­
rant removes
the required quantity of heat (latent
heat of vaporization) from the air around the evap­
orator core cooling fins and rapidly vaporizes.
Removing the heat cools the air, which is then
radiated
from the fins and lowers the temperature of
the air inside the vehicle.
The refrigerant liquid sent from the expansion valve
and the vaporized refrigerant gas are both present
inside the
evaporator and the liquid is converted to
gas.
With this change from liquid to gas, the pressure
inside
the evaporator must be kept low enough for
vaporization to occur at a lower temperature.
Because of that, the vaporized refrigerant is sucked
into the compressor.
COMPRESSION
The refrigerant is compressed by the compressor
until it is easily liquefied at normal temperature.
The vaporized
refrigerant in the evaporator is sucked
into the compressor. This action maintains the
refrigerant inside the evaporator at a low pressure
so
that it can easily vaporize, even at low tempera­
tures close to ooc (32°F).
Also, the refrigerant sucked into the compressor is
compressed inside the
cylinder to increase the
pressure and temperature to values such that the
refrigerant can easily liquefy at normal ambient
temperatures.
CONDENSATION
The refrigerant inside the condenser is cooled by the
outside air and changes from gas to liquid.
The high temperature, high pressure gas coming
from the compressor is cooled and liquefied by the
condenser with outside air and accumulated in the
receiver/drier. The heat radiated to the outside air by
the high temperature, high pressure gas in the
compressor is called heat of condensation. This is
the total quantity of heat (heat of vaporization) the
refrigerant removes
from the vehicle interior via the
evaporator and the work (calculated as the quantity
of heat) performed for compression.
'-' EXPANSION
The expansion valve lowers the pressure of the
refrigerant liquid so that it can easily vaporize.
AIR CONDITIONING 1 B -3
The process of lowering the pressure to encourage
vaporization before the
liquefied refrigerant is sent
to the evaporator is called expansion. In addition,
the expansion valve controls the flow rate of the
refrigerant liquid while decreasing the pressure.
That is, the quantity of refrigerant liquid vaporized
inside
the evaporator is determined by the quantity
of heat which must be removed at a prescribed
vaporization temperature.
It is important that the
quantity of refrigerant be controlled to exactly the
right value.
COMPRESSOR
It compressor performs two main functions:
It compresses low-pressure and low-temperature
refrigerant vapor from the evaporator into high­
pressure and high-temperature
refrigerant vapor to
the condenser. And it pumps refrigerant and
refrigerant
oil through the air conditioning system.
This vehicle is equipped with five-vane rotary com­
pressor.
The
thermo sensor is installed to the front head of
the compressor to protect it by stopping its
operation when the refrigerant gas is insufficient or
when the temperature is abnormally high.
• OFF ...... 160 ±soc (320.0 ± 9.0°F)
• ON
...... 135 ±soc (27S.O ± 9.0°F)
The specified amount of the compressor oil is 1SOcc
(S.O fl.oz.).
The oil used in the HFC-134a system compressor
differs from that used in R-12 systems.
Also, compressor oil to be used varies according to
the compressor model. Be sure to avoid mixing two
or more different types of oil.
If the wrong oil is used, lubrication will be poor and
the compressor will seize or malfunction.
The magnetic clutch connector is a waterproof
type.
MAGNETIC CLUTCH
The compressor is driven by the drive belt from the
crank
pulley of the engine. If the compressor is ac­
tivated each
time the engine is started, this causes
too much load to the engine. The magnetic clutch
transmits the power from the engine to the com­
pressor and activates it when the air conditioning is
"ON". Also, it cuts off the power from the engine to
the compressor when the air conditioning is "OFF".
(Magnetic clutch repair procedure can be found in
Section 1 D.)

AIR CONDITIONING 1 B -19
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
GENERAL REPAIR PROCEDURE
Precautions for Replacement or Repair of Air
Conditioning Parts
There are certain procedures, practices and pre­
cautions
that should be followed when servicing air
conditioning systems:
• Keep your work area clean.
•
Always wear safety goggle and protective gloves
when working on refrigerant systems.
• Beware of the danger of carbon monoxide fumes
caused by running the engine.
• Beware of discharged refrigerant in enclosed or
improperly ventilated garages.
• Always disconnect the negative battery cable and
discharge and recover the refrigerant
whenever
repairing the air conditioning system.
• When discharging and recovering the refrigerant,
do not allow refrigerant to discharge too fast; it
will draw compressor oil out of the system.
• Keep moisture and contaminants out of the sys­
tem.
When disconnecting or removing any lines
or parts, use plugs or caps to close the fittings
immediately.
Never remove the caps or plugs until the lines or
parts are reconnected or installed.
•
When disconnecting or reconnecting the lines,
use
two wrenches to support the line fitting, to
prevent from twisting or other damage.
• Always install new 0-rings whenever a connec­
tion is disassembled.
• Before connecting any hoses or lines, apply new
specified compressor oil to the 0-rings.
• When removing and replacing any parts which
require discharging the refrigerant circuit, the
operations described in
this section must be per­
formed in the following sequence:
1. Use the J-39500 (ACR4
: HFC-134a Refrigerant
Recovery/Recycling/Recharging/System)
or
equivalent to thoroughly discharge and re­
cover
the refrigerant.
2. Remove and replace the defective part.
3.
After evacuation, charge the air conditioning
system and check for leaks.
Repair of Refrigerant Leaks
Refrigerant Line Connections
Install new 0-rings, if required. When disconnecting
or connecting lines, use two wrenches to prevent the
connecting
portion from twisting or becoming
damaged. (Fig. 1 B-15) Fig.
18-15
When connecting the refrigerant
line at the block
joint, securely insert the projecting portion of the
joint portion into the connecting hole on the unit side
and secure
with a bolt.
Apply specified compressor oil to the 0-rings prior
to connecting. (Fig. 18-16)
CAUTION:
Compressor (PAGI oil to be used varies according
to compressor model. Be sure to apply oil specified
for the model of compressor.

7. Check system operation.
CONTAMINATION OF COMPRESSOR OIL
Unlike engine oil, no cleaning agent is added to the
compressor
oil. Even if the compressor runs for a
long period
of time (approximately 1 season), the
oil never becomes contaminated as long
as there is
nothing
wrong with the compressor or its method
of use.
Inspect the extracted oil for any of the following
conditions:
• The capacity of the oil has increased.
• The oil has changed color to red.
• Foreign substances, metal powder, etc., are
present in the oil.
If any of these conditions exists, compressor oil
is contaminated. Whenever contaminated com­
pressor
oil is discovered, the receiver/dryer must
be
replaced.
OIL RETURN OPERATION
There is close affinity between the oil and the
refrigerant. During normal operation, part
of the oil
recirculates
with the refrigerant in the system.
When checking the
amount of oil in the system, or
replacing any component of the system, the com­
pressor
must be run in advance for oil return oper­
ation. The procedure is as
follows:
1. Open the all doors and engine hood.
2. Start the engine and air conditioning switch is
"ON" and Set the fan control knob at its hig­
hest position.
3. Run the compressor for more than 20 minutes
between
800 and 1,000 rpm in order to operate
the system.
4. Stop the engine.
REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENT PARTS
When replacing system component parts, supply
the following
amount of oil to the component parts
to be installed.
