WARNING!
• Use only refrigerants and compressor lubricants ap-
proved by the manufacturer for your air conditioning

tem to fail, requiring costly repairs. Refer to
Warranty Information Book for further warranty
information.

der high pressure. To avoid risk of personal injury or
damage to the system, adding refrigerant or any
repair requiring lines to be disconnected should be
done by an experienced technician.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your air conditioning
system as the chemicals can damage your air condition-
ing components. Such damage is not covered by the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

blower operating, the blower can contact hands and
may propel dirt and debris into your eyes, resulting in
personal injury.
