PRECAUTION
Note
After the engine switch is turned off, the display and navigation module display (HDD navigation system) records various types of memory and settings. As a result, after turning the engine switch off, make sure to wait for the time specified in the following table before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) battery terminal.
| Specification | Waiting Time |
|---|---|
| w/o Telematics transceiver | 60 sec. |
| w/ Telematics transceiver | 120 sec. |
RECOVER REFRIGERANT FROM REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
Start up the engine.
Turn the A/C switch on.
Operate the cooler compressor at an engine speed of approximately 1000 rpm for 5 to 6 minutes to circulate the refrigerant. This causes most of the compressor oil from the various components of the A/C system to collect in the A/C compressor.
Stop the engine.
Recover the refrigerant from the A/C system using a refrigerant recovery unit.
DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
Note
When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Click here.
