A shortage of refrigerant impairs the air-conditioner
performance.
Check the following points. If it is
indicated that the amount of refrigerant is extremely
low, ask your dealer to inspect and charge.
Checking procedure
1. Run the air-conditioner in the following conditions.
• Engine speed - About 1500 rpm
• Temperature control lever - Maximum cooling
position (leftmost)
• Fan switch - Highest blow
• Air-conditioner switch - “ON”
2. Look into the sight glass to see if the refrigerant is
flowing through its circuit.
(1) Sight glass
Proper
