Air Conditioner Maintenance
For best possible performance, your air
conditioner should be checked and ser-
viced by an authorized dealer at the start
of each warm season. This service should
include cleaning of the condenser fins
and a performance test. Drive belt tension
should also be checked at this time.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your
air
conditioning
system
as
the
chemicals can damage your air con-
ditioning components. Such damage
is not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
WARNING!
•
Use only refrigerants and com-
pressor lubricants approved by
the manufacturer for your air con-
ditioning
system.
Some
unap-
proved refrigerants are flammable
and can explode, injuring you.
Other unapproved refrigerants or
lubricants can cause the system to
fail, requiring costly repairs. Refer
to Warranty Information Book, lo-
cated on the DVD, for further war-
ranty information.
•
The air conditioning system con-
tains refrigerant under high pres-
sure. To avoid risk of personal in-
jury or damage to the system,
adding refrigerant or any repair
requiring lines to be disconnected
should be done by an experienced
technician.
Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling
R-134a Air Conditioning Refrigerant is a
hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) that is endorsed
by the Environmental Protection Agency
and is an ozone-saving product. However,
the manufacturer recommends that air
conditioning service be performed by au-
thorized dealers or other service facilities
using recovery and recycling equipment.
