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.)
An approved dealer or qualified workshop will be
able to service your environmentally friendly air con-
ditioner system.
