SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER
WARNING
The air conditioner system contains refrigerant
under high pressure. To avoid personal injury,
any air conditioner service should be done only
by an experienced technician with the proper
equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle is charged
with a refrigerant designed with the environment in
mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone
layer. However, it may contribute in a small part to
global warming.
Special charging equipment and lubricant are re-
quired when servicing your vehicle’s air conditioner.
Using improper refrigerants or lubricants will cause
severe damage to the air conditioner system.
See “Recommended fluids/lubricants and
capacities” in the “9. Technical information” section.
A NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop will be able
to service your environmentally friendly air condi-
tioner system.
Air conditioner filter
The air conditioning system is equipped with an air
conditioner filter which collects dirt, dust, etc. To
make sure the air conditioner heats, defogs and
ventilates efficiently, replace the filter in accordance
with the specified maintenance intervals listed in the
separate maintenance booklet. To replace the filter,
contact a NISSAN dealer or qualified workshop.
The filter should be replaced if air flow is ex-
tremely decreased or when windows fog up eas-
ily when operating heater or air conditioning sys-
tem.
