CAUTION

  • The refrigerant system must be serviced only by trained and certified technicians to ensure correct and safe operation.
  • The refrigerant system should be serviced in a well-ventilated area.
  • The air conditioning evaporator (cooling coil) is never to be repaired or replaced with one removed from a used or salvaged vehicle. New MAC evaporators must be certified (and marked) as conforming to SAE J2842.

NOTICE

  • When using the air conditioning system, watch the temperature gauge closely when driving uphill or in heavy traffic at high outside temperatures. Operating the air conditioning system may cause the engine to overheat. Continue to use the blower, but turn off the air conditioning system if the gauge indicates engine overheating.
  • When opening the windows in humid weather, the air conditioning may cause water droplets to form inside the vehicle. Since excessive water droplets may cause damage to electrical equipment, the air conditioning should be used only with the windows closed.
