Oil Precaution INFOID:0000000004307045
• Use only specified oil for the HFC-134a (R-134a) A/C system and HFC-134a (R-134a) components. If oil
other than that specified is used, comp ressor malfunction is likely to occur.
• The specified HFC-134a (R-134a) oil rapidly absorbs mo isture from the atmosphere. The following handling
precautions must be observed:
- When removing refrigerant components from a vehicle, immediately cap (seal) the component to minimize the entry of moisture from the atmosphere.
- When installing refrigerant components to a vehicle, do not remove the caps (unseal) until just before con- necting the components. Connect all refrigerant loop components as quickly as possible to minimize the
entry of moisture into system.
- Only use the specified oil from a sealed container. Imm ediately reseal containers of oil. Without proper seal-
ing, oil will become moisture saturated and should not be used.
• Avoid breathing A/C refrigerant and oil vapor or mist. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat.
Use only approved recovery/recycling equipment to discharge HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant. If accidental
system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before re suming service. Additional health and safety informa-
tion may be obtained from refrigerant and oil manufacturers.
• Do not allow A/C oil to come in contact with styrofoam parts. Damage may result.
Precaution for Refrigerant Connection INFOID:0000000004307046
A new type refrigerant connection has been introduced to a ll refrigerant lines except the following location.
• Expansion valve to evaporator
• Refrigerant pressure sensor to condenser
FEATURES OF NEW TYPE REFRIGERANT CONNECTION
• The O-ring has been relocated. It has also been provided with a groove for proper installation. This elimi- nates the chance of the O-ring being caught in, or damaged by, the mating part. The sealing direction of the
O-ring is now set vertically in relation to the contacti ng surface of the mating part to improve sealing charac-
teristics.
• The reaction force of the O-ring will not occur in the dire ction that causes the joint to pull out, thereby facili-
tating piping connections.

CAUTION:
When replacing or cleaning refrigerant cycle components, observe the following.
• When the compressor is removed, store it in the sam e position as it is when installed on the vehicle.
Doing so will cause oil to en ter the low-pressure chamber.
• When connecting tubes, always use a to rque wrench and a back-up wrench.
• After disconnecting tubes, immediately plug all op enings to prevent entry of dirt and moisture.
• When installing an air conditione r in the vehicle, connect the pipes as the final stage of the opera-
tion. Do not remove the seal caps of pipes and other components until just before required for con-
nection.
• Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to working area temperature before removing seal
caps. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.
• Thoroughly remove moisture from the refriger ation system before charging the refrigerant.
• Always replace used O-rings.
• When connecting tube, apply the speci fied A/C oil to circle of the O-rings. Be careful not to apply oil
to threaded portion. Refer to MTC-90, " Oil " .
• O-ring must be closely attached to dented portion of tube.
• When replacing the O-ring, be careful not to damage O-ring and tube.
• Connect tube until you hear it cl ick, then tighten the nut or bolt by hand until snug. Make sure that
the O-ring is installed to tube correctly.
• After connecting line, perform leak test and make sure that there is no leakage from connections.
When the refrigerant leaking point is found, disconnect that line and replace the O-ring. Then tighten
connections of seal seat to the specified torque.
Precaution for Service of Compressor INFOID:0000000004307047
• Plug all openings to prevent moisture and foreign matter from entering.

PREPARATION
HFC-134a (R-134a) Servic e Tool and Equipment INFOID:0000000004307051
Never mix HFC-134a refrigerant and/or its specified oil with CFC-12 (R-12) refrigerant and/or its oil.
Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant/oil.
Refrigerant container fittings, service hose fittings and service equipment fittings (equipment which handles
refrigerant and/or oil) are different between CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). This is to avoid mixed
use of the refrigerants/oil.
Adapters that convert one size fitting to another must never be used refrigerant/oil contamination will occur
and compressor failure will result.

OIL
Maintenance of Oil Qu antity in Compressor INFOID:0000000004307056
The oil in the compressor circulates through the system with the refrigerant. Add oil to compressor when
replacing any component or after a lar ge refrigerant leakage occurred. It is important to maintain the specified
amount.
If oil quantity is not maintained properly , the following malfunctions may result:
• Lack of oil: May lead to a seized compressor.
• Excessive oil: Inadequate cooling (thermal exchange interference)
