Features of your vehicle
Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant andcompressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air condi-
tioning is reduced. Overfilling alsohas a bad influence on the air condi-tioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by a
professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorised
Kia dealer/service partner.*: Your vehicle is filled with R-134a orR-1234yf according to the regula-
tion in your country at the time of
producing. You can find out which
air conditioning refrigerant is
applied your vehicle at the label
inside of bonnet. Refer to chapter 9
for more detail location of air con-
ditioning refrigerant label.WARNING - Vehicles
equipped with R-1234yf*
Because the refriger-
ant is mildly inflam-
mable and at very
high pressure, the air
conditioning system
should only be serv-
iced by trained and
certified technicians.
It is important that the
correct type and amount of oil
and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, it may cause damage
to the vehicle and personal
injury.WARNING - Vehicles
