Checking the amount of air conditioner (A/C) refrigerant and compressor lubricant
Low refrigerant reduces the A/C system performance. Overfilling the refrigerant also adversely impacts the A/C system.
If abnormal operation occurs, have your vehicle inspected by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorised Kia dealer or service partner.
The oil and refrigerant in your vehicle’s A/C system are under very high pressure. If proper service procedures are not followed, an explosion may result. To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, the A/C system in your vehicle should only be serviced by trained and certified Kia technicians.
Vehicles equipped with R-134a
Because the refrigerant is at very high pressure, the air conditioning system should only be serviced by trained and certified technicians. 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.
