Features of your vehicle
You can find out which air conditioning
refrigerant is applied your vehicle at the
label inside of the engine compartment.
Refer to "Refrigerant label" on page 9-10
for more detail on the location of air con-
ditioning refrigerant label.
Checking the amount of air con-
ditioner refrigerant and compres-
sor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning
is reduced. Overfilling also has a nega-
tive impact on the air conditioning sys-
tem.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by a
professional workshop. Kia recommends
to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
WARNING
Vehicles equipped with R-134a
Because the refrigerant is at
very high pressure, the air con-
ditioning system should only be
serviced by trained and certified techni-
cians. It is important that the correct
type and amount of oil and refrigerant is
used.
Otherwise, it may cause damage to the
vehicle and personal injury.

WARNING
Vehicles equipped with R-1234yf*
Since the refrigerant is mildly flammable
and operated at high pressure, the air
conditioning system should only be ser-
viced by trained and certified techni-
cians.
It is important that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant are used.
All refrigerants should be reclaimed with
proper equipment. Venting refrigerants
directly to the atmosphere is harmful to
individuals and environment. Failure to
heed these warnings can lead to serious
injuries.
CAUTION
AC repair
It is important that the correct type and
amount of oil and refrigerant is used,
otherwise, damage to the vehicle may
occur. To prevent damage, the air condi-
tioning system in your vehicle should
only be serviced by trained and certified
Kia technicians.
