AIR CONDITIONING
1
ADJUSTMENT GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
The refrigerant used in the air conditioning system is
HFC (Hydrofluorocarbon) R134a.
WARNING: R134a is a hazardous liquid
and when handled incorrectly can cause
serious injury. Suitable protective clothing
must be worn when carrying out servicing
operations on the air conditioning system.
WARNING: R134a is odourless and
colourless. Do not handle or discharge in
an enclosed area, or in any area where the
vapour or liquid can come in contact with naked
flame or hot metal. R134a is not flammable, but
can form a highly toxic gas.
WARNING: Do not smoke or weld in areas
where R134a is in use. Inhalation of
concentrations of the vapour can cause
dizziness, disorientation. uncoordination,
narcosis, nausea or vomiting.
WARNING: Do not allow fluids other than
R134a or compressor lubricant to enter the
air conditioning system. Spontaneous
combustion may occur.
WARNING: R134a splashed on any part of
the body will cause immediate freezing of
that area. Also refrigerant cylinders and
replenishment trolleys when discharging will
freeze skin to them if contact is made.
WARNING: The refrigerant used in an air
conditioning system must be reclaimed in
accordance with the recommendations
given with a Refrigerant Recovery Recycling
Recharging Station.
NOTE: Suitable protective clothing
comprises: Wrap around safety glasses or
helmet, heatproof gloves, rubber apron or
waterproof overalls and rubber boots.REMEDIAL ACTIONS
1.If liquid R134a strikes the eye, do not rub it.
Gently run large quantities of eyewash over the
eye to raise the temperature. If eyewash is not
available cool, clean water may be used. Cover
eye with clean pad and seek immediate medical
attention.
2.If liquid R134a is splashed on the skin run large
quantities of water over the area as soon as
possible to raise the temperature. Carry out the
same actions if skin comes into contact with
discharging cylinders. Wrap affected parts in
blankets or similar material and seek immediate
medical attention.
3.If suspected of being overcome by inhalation of
R134a vapour seek fresh air. If unconscious
remove to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration
and/or oxygen and seek immediate medical
attention.
NOTE: Due to its low evaporating
temperature of -30°C, R134a should be
handled with care.
WARNING: Do not allow a refrigerant
container to be heated by a direct flame or
to be placed near any heating appliance. A
refrigerant container must not be heated above
50°C.
WARNING: Do not leave a container of
refrigerant without its cap fitted. Do not
transport a container of refrigerant that is
unrestrained, especially in the boot of a car.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION REV: 05/99 ALARM SYSTEM OPERATION
Arming alarm
To arm the alarm, aim handset at vehicle and press
the RH button (Padlock symbol). Provided all doors
and or apertures are closed, the direction indicator
lamps will flash three times to confirm that the alarm is
armed. All security features previously described will
be active.
Once armed, the alarm will sound if a door or the
bonnet is opened, or if movement is detected inside
the vehicle.
Disarming alarm
Within range of the vehicle, briefly press the LH
(Plain) button on the handset; the direction indicator
lamps will flash once to indicate that the alarm has
been disarmed and the engine re-mobilised.
NOTE: In some territories, the interior
lamps will illuminate when the alarm is
disarmed.
If the direction indicators fail to flash when the
alarm is armed:
This indicates that a door or the bonnet is not fully
closed, in which case the alarm will be partially armed
and engine immobilised, but interior protection will not
be active.
Once the open door or bonnet is closed, the direction
indicators will flash three times and the alarm will fully
arm as described previously.
If the alarm sounds:
The vehicle horn and alarm sounder will operate
continuously for 30 seconds when the alarm is
triggered. The horn and alarm sounder can be
triggered up to three times.
To silence the alarm, press either handset button. If
the handset is inoperative, the alarm can only be
disarmed by entering the emergency key access
code, seeEngine immobilisation override.Anti-theft alarm indicator light
A RED indicator light on the instrument panel
indicates the status of the alarm system. When the
alarm is armed successfully, the light flashes rapidly.
After 10 seconds, the light adjusts to a slower
frequency and continues flashing as an anti-theft
deterrent.
If the light fails to illuminate during the rapid flash
phase, this indicates a 'mislock' (door or the bonnet
not fully closed or key in starter switch). If this occurs,
the indicator light will still flash at slower frequency as
an anti-theft deterrent.
The indicator light will illuminate continuously under
the following conditions:
1.Alarm system armed and immobilised with
ignition 'on' or driver's door open.
2.Engine immobilised with ignition 'on' or driver's
door open.
Interior protection
Interior protection is activated automatically when the
alarm system is armed; twin sensors inside the
vehicle monitor interior space and will activate the
alarm if an intrusion is detected.
However, if passengers or animals are to be left inside
the vehicle, or if a window or sunroof is to be left
open, the alarm must be armed with the interior
protection DISABLED as follows:
To disable interior protection:
1.Open the driver's door.
2.Use the handset to arm the alarm in normal way.
3.Close the driver's door (the direction indicator
lamps will flash three times and the anti-theft
indicator light commences flashing rapidly). The
alarm system is now armed with the interior
protection disabled.
NOTE: Interior protection will not operate
until 15 seconds after the alarm is set.
