Checking Air Conditioner Refrigerant Quantity and Compressor Lubricant

When the refrigerant level is low, the cooling performance of the air conditioner is reduced. Overcharging also adversely affects the air conditioning system.

Therefore, if abnormal operation is detected, have the system inspected by a qualified technician at an authorized Kia dealer.

WARNING - Vehicles equipped with R-1234yf

Since the refrigerant is flammable and operates at high pressure, the air conditioning system should be serviced only by trained and certified technicians.

It is important that the correct type and amount of oil and refrigerant are used.

All refrigerants must be recovered using appropriate equipment.

Releasing refrigerants directly into the atmosphere is harmful to people and the environment.

Failure to observe these warnings may result in serious injury.

CAUTION - Air conditioner repair

It is important that the correct type and amount of oil and refrigerant are used, otherwise damage to the vehicle may occur. To prevent damage, the air conditioning system in your vehicle must be serviced only by trained and certified technical specialists.

The refrigerant label is located on the lower part of the hood.
