cAfter parking in the sun, drive for two or
three minutes with the windows open to
vent hot air from the passenger compart-
ment. Then, close the windows. This
allows the air conditioner to cool the
interior more quickly.
cThe air conditioning system should be
operated for approximately ten min-
utes at least once a month. This helps
prevent damage to the system due to
lack of lubrication.
cIf the engine coolant temperaturegauge indicates engine coolant tem-
perature over the normal range, turn
the air conditioner off. See(If your
vehicle overheats(in the(In case of

the environment in mind.
This refrigerant does not harm the
earth's ozone layer.
Special charging equipment and lubricant is
required when servicing your NISSAN air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or
lubricants causes severe damage to your
air conditioner system. See9Air conditioner
system refrigerant and lubrication recom-
mendations9in the9Technical and con-
sumer information9section of this manual.
An authorized NISSAN dealer will be able to
service your environmentally9friendly9air
conditioner system.
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains
refrigerant under high pressure. To
avoid personal injury, any air condi-
tioner service should be done only by
an experienced technician with proper
equipment.
