REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

<<A>> FLEXIBLE SUCTION HOSE AND FLEXIBLE DISCHARGE HOSE DISCONNECTION
caution Use the plug which is not breathable because A/C compressor oil or receiver have high hygroscopicity.
Plug the hose nipple removed to prevent the entry of dust and dirt.

<<B>> DRIVE BELT REMOVAL
The following operations will be needed due to the introduction of the serpentine drive system with the drive belt auto-tensioner.

1.Securely insert the spindle handle or ratchet handle with a 12.7 mm insertion angle into the jig hole of the auto-tensioner.
2.Rotate the auto-tensioner anti-clockwise and align hole A with hole B.

3.
caution To reuse the drive belt, draw an arrow indicating the rotating direction (clockwise) on the back of the belt using chalk, etc.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINT

>>A<< A/C COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION <Except vehicles for Hong Kong and Singapore>
When installing the new A/C compressor, install the A/C compressor after adjusting the oil volume as follows.

  1. Measure the oil of A/C compressor removed.(X cm3 )
  2. Drain the oil (Y cm3) given by the following expression from a new A/C compressor, and then install the A/C compressor.
    160 cm3 - X cm3 = Y cm3
    note
    1. 160 cm3 shows the oil volume contained in the new A/C compressor.
    2. Y cm3 shows the oil volume stored in the refrigerant line, condenser, and cooling unit, etc.

>>B<< A/C COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION <Vehicles for Hong Kong and Singapore>
When installing the new A/C compressor, install the A/C compressor after adjusting the oil volume as follows.

  1. Measure the oil of A/C compressor removed. (X cm3)
  2. Drain the oil (Y cm3) given by the following expression from a new A/C compressor, and then install the A/C compressor.
    180 cm3 - X cm3 = Y cm3
    note
    1. 180 cm3 shows the oil volume contained in the new A/C compressor.
    2. Y cm3 shows the oil volume stored in the refrigerant line, condenser, and cooling unit, etc.
