Checking the amount of air con-
ditioner refrigerant and compres-sor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning is
reduced. Overfilling also has a bad influ-ence on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by a
HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
✽✽
NOTICE
It is important when servicing the air
conditioning system that the correct
type and amount of oil and refrigerant is
used. Otherwise, damage to the com-
pressor and abnormal system operation
may occur.
WARNING
The air conditioning system should
be serviced by a HYUNDAI autho-
rised repairer. Improper service
may cause serious injury to the
person performing the service.
