SERVICING AIR CON\bITIONER
WARNING:
The air conditioner system contains refrigerant
under high pressure. To avoid personal injury,
any air conditioner service should be done only
by an experienced technician with the proper
equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle is charged
with a refrigerant designed with the environment in
mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone
layer. However, it may contri\fute in a small part to
glo\fal warming.
Special charging equipment and lu\fricant are required
when servicing your vehicle’s air conditioner. Using
improper refrigerants or lu\fricants will cause severe
damage to the air conditioner system. (See “Air
conditioner system refrigerant and lu\fricant” (P.9-4) .)
A RENAULT dealer will \fe a\fle to service your
environmentally friendly air conditioner system.
