For best possible performance, your air conditioner 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 performance test. Drive belt tension should also be checked at this time.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your air conditioning system as the chemicals can damage your air conditioning components. Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
WARNING!
• Use only refrigerants and compressor lubricants approved by the manufacturer
for your air conditioning system. Some unapproved refrigerants are flammable and
can explode, injuring you. Other unapproved refrigerants or lubricants can cause
the system to fail, requiring costly repairs. Refer to Warranty Information Book,
located on the DVD, for further warranty information.
• The air conditioning system contains refrigerant under 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 repairman.
Refrigerant Recovery And Recycling
R-134a air conditioning refrigerant is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) that is endorsed by the Environmental
Protection Agency and is an ozone-saving product. However, the manufacturer recommends that air conditioning service be performed by authorized dealers or other service facilities using recovery and recycling equipment.
NOTE: Use only manufacturer approved A/C system sealers, stop leak products, seal conditioners, compressor oil, or refrigerants.
