• Intake door position: Recirculation
• Temperature setting: Full cold
• Blower speed: Maximum
7. Run the engine at approximately 1,500 rpm for two minutes or more.
8. Stop the engine. Check for refrigerant leaks. Go to step 4. WARNING:
Be careful not to get burned when the engine is hot.
NOTE:
• Start refrigerant leak check immediately after the engine is stopped.
• When refrigerant circulation is stopped, pressure on the low- pressure side rises gradually and pressure on the high-pres-
sure side falls gradually.
• The higher the pressure is, the easier it is to find refrigerant leaks.
Recycle RefrigerantINFOID:0000000012431999
WARNING:
• Always use HFC-134a for A/C refrigerant. If CFC- 12 is accidentally charged, compressor damage
may result due to in sufficient lubrication.
• Always observe and follow precaution s described on refrigerant container. Incorrect handling may
result in an explosion of refrigerant container, frostbite or the loss of eyesight.
• Do not breathe A/C refrigerant and oil vapor or mi st. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose, or throat.
• Do not allow HFC-134a to be exposed to an open flame. Poisonous gas is produced if refrigerant
burns. Keep workshop well ventilated.
1. Perform oil return operation. Refer to HA-22, "
Perform Oil Return Operation". (If refrigerant or oil leaks are
detected in a large amount, omit this step, and go to step 2.)
CAUTION:
Do not perform oil return operation if a la rge amount of refrigerant or oil has leaked.
2. Check pressure gauge readings of recovery/recyc ling/recharging equipment. When remaining pressure
exists, recycle refrigerant from high-pressure hose and low-pressure hose.
NOTE:
Follow manufacturer instructions for the handling or maintenance of the equipment. Do not fill the equip-
ment with non-specified refrigerant.
3. Remove A/C service valve caps from the vehicle.
4. Connect recovery/recycling/recharging equipment to A/C service valves.
5. Operate recovery/recycling/recharging equipm ent, and recycle refrigerant from the vehicle.
6. Evacuate air for 10 minutes or more to remove any remaining refrigerant integrated in the compressor oil,
etc.
7. Refrigerant recycle operation is complete.

CAUTION:
Evacuate air for 15 minutes or more if parts are replaced.
3. Check the airtightness of A/C system for 25 minutes or more. If pressure raises more than the specified
level, charge A/C system with approximately 200g of refrigerant and check that there are no refrigerant
leaks. Refer to HA-18, "
Leak Test".
CAUTION:
Check the airtightness for 15 minutes or more if parts are replaced.
4. If parts other than the compressor are replaced, fill compressor oil according to parts that are replaced.
Refer to HA-22, "
Oil Adjusting Procedure for Components Replacement Except Compressor".
5. Charge the specified amount of refrigerant into A/C system.
6. Check that the A/C system operates normally.
7. Collect the refrigerant from the high-pressure hos e and low-pressure hose of recovery/recycling/recharg-
ing equipment. Disconnect recovery/recycling/recharging equipment.
8. Install A/C service valve caps.

DescriptionINFOID:0000000012432001
MAINTENANCE OF OIL LEVEL
The compressor oil circulates in the system together with the refrigerant. It is necessary to add oil to the com-
pressor when replacing A/C system components or when a large amount of refrigerant leaks from the system.
It is important to always maintain oil level within t he specified level. Otherwise, the following conditions may
occur.
• Insufficient oil amount: Stuck compressor
• Excessive oil amount: Insufficient cooling (caused by insufficient heat exchange)
InspectionINFOID:0000000012432002
If a compressor is malfunctioning (internal noise, insufficient cooling), check the compressor oil.
1.COMPRESSOR OIL JUDGMENT
1. Remove the compressor. Refer to HA-26, "
Removal and Installation".
2. Sample the compressor oil and judge on the figure.
Judgement result 1>>Replace compressor only.
Judgement result 2>>Replace compressor and condenser (includes liquid tank).
Perform Oil Retu rn OperationINFOID:0000000012432003
CAUTION:
If a large amount of refrigerant or oil leaks from the system, do not perform oil return operation.
1. Start the engine and set the front air control to the following conditions. • Engine speed: Idling to 1,200 rpm
• A/C switch: ON
• Blower speed: Maximum
• Intake door position: Recirculation
• Temperature setting: Full cold
2. Perform oil return operation for approximately 10 minutes.
3. Stop the engine.
4. Oil return operation is complete.

Oil Adjusting Procedure for Compressor ReplacementINFOID:0000000012432005
1. Drain oil from removed compressor and measure amount drained. • Drain oil from high-pressure port (A) and low-pressure port (B)
while rotating magnet clutch.
• Measure total amount of oil that is drained from removed com-
pressor.
2. Drain oil from a new compressor that is calculated according to the following conditions.
CAUTION:
If oil amount that is drained from removed compr essor is less than 60 m (2.1 Imp fl oz.), perform
calculation by setting “D” as 40 m (1.4 Imp fl oz.).
Example: Oil amount to be drained from a new compressor when replacing compressor [m (Imp fl oz.)]
[D = 60 (2.1), α = 5 (0.2)]
120 (4.2) − [60 (2.1) + 20 (0.7) + 5 (0.2)] = 35 (1.1)
3. Install compressor and check the operation.

Precaution for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) "AIR BAG" and "SEAT BELT
PRE-TENSIONER"
INFOID:0000000012431935
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “A IR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SR and SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
• To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death in
the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by
an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
• Improper maintenance, including in correct removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to personal
injury caused by unintent ional activation of the system. For re moval of Spiral Cable and Air Bag
Module, see the SR section.
• Do not use electrical test equipmen t on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harn esses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or har-
ness connectors.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING POWER TOOLS (AIR OR ELECTRIC) AND HAMMERS
WARNING:
• When working near the Airbag Diagnosis Sensor Unit or other Airbag System sensors with the Igni-
tion ON or engine running, DO NOT use air or electri c power tools or strike near the sensor(s) with a
hammer. Heavy vibration could activate the sensor( s) and deploy the air bag(s), possibly causing
serious injury.
• When using air or electric power tools or hammers , always switch the Ignition OFF, disconnect the
battery and wait at least three minutes before performing any service.
