Air Conditioner - Chrysler Voyager 2001 Operating Information Manual

Gasoline Engines
If the electrolyte level is low, distilled water must
be added. Remove the cap on top of the battery
and add distilled water to the proper level. DO
NOT EXCEED THE HOOK INSIDE THE BATTERY
CASE. ACID MAY SPEW FROM BATTERY VENT-
ING SYSTEM.
If electrolyte is at the proper level, install battery
cell caps.
Be certain to:
• Wear eye protection and remove any metal
jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that
might make an inadvertent electrical contact.
• Turn off the ignition switch and all unnecessary
electrical loads.

Air Conditioner

For best possible performance, your air condi-
tioner should be checked and serviced by an
Authorized Dealer at the start of each warm
season. This service should include cleaning of
the condenser fins and a system performance
check. Drive belt tension should also be checked
at this time.
WARNING!
• Use only refrigerants approved by Chrysler
International for your air conditioning system.
Some unapproved refrigerants are flam-
mable and can explode, injuring you. Other
unapproved refrigerants can cause the sys-
tem to fail, requiring costly repairs.
• Never add air conditioning refrigerant to cor-
rect a non-cooling problem unless pressure
gauges are connected to the system by a
certified technician. Lack of cooling could be
due to a restriction and adding refrigerant
may cause a dangerous pressure rise and
you could be injured.
Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling
The air conditioning system of your vehicle con-
tains R-134a, a refrigerant that does not deplete
the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere. Chrysler
International recommends that air conditioning
service be done by facilities using refrigerant
recycling and recovery equipment that meets SAE
standard J1991.
A/C Air Filter — If Equipped
The filter access door is located under the instru-
ment panel on the passenger side. To replace the
filter slide the lock toward the rear of the vehicle
(unlock position). Remove the access door and
pull the filter downward. When installing a new
filter, ensure its proper orientation. Align the black
arrow on the bottom of the filter frame with the
direction of airflow (away from the blower motor
and towards the center of the car).
