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 the system inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.
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-1234yf
Since the refrigerant is mildly flammable and operated at high pressure, the air conditioning system should only be serviced by trained and certified technicians. (Refer to the SAE J2845)
It is important that you use the correct type and amount of oil and refrigerant. Reclaim all refrigerants with the proper equipment. Venting refrigerants directly to the atmosphere is harmful to individuals and the environment. Failure to heed these warnings can lead to serious injuries.
It is important that you use the correct type and amount of oil and refrigerant. Otherwise, damage to the vehicle may occur. To prevent damage, the A/C system in your vehicle should only be serviced by trained and certified technicians.
