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
Because the refrigerant is highly flammable and under very 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.
Otherwise, damage to the vehicle and personal injury may result.
WARNING
The refrigerant and oil in your vehicle's air conditioning system are under very high pressure. If proper service procedures are not followed, an explosion may occur. To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, the air conditioning system in your vehicle should be serviced only by trained and certified technicians.
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.
