adding refrigerant or any repair requiring lines
to be disconnected should be done by an
experienced technician.
CAUTION!

Do not use chemical flushes in your air conditioning
system as the chemicals can damage your air
conditioning components. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
