Refrigerant: Description and Operation

R-134a Refrigerant

This vehicle uses a refrigerant called R-134a. It is a non-toxic, non-flammable, clear colorless liquefied gas.

R-134a refrigerant is not compatible with R-12 refrigerant in an air conditioning system. Even a small amount of R-12 in a R-134a system could cause
compressor failure, refrigerant oil sludging or poor performance. Never add R-12 to a system designed to use R-134a. System failure will occur.

A/C Service Ports (3.2L/3.5L)

The service ports for the 3.2/3.5L applications are located on the compressor. The service ports for the 2.7L application are located on the A/C liquid
(high pressure) and suction (low pressure) lines. R-134a service ports have been used to ensure that the system is not accidentally filled with the wrong
refrigerant.

Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling Station - Typical

When servicing a system, it is required that an air conditioning charging recovery/recycling machine be used. Contact an automotive service
equipment supplier for proper equipment. Refer to the operating instructions provided with the equipment for proper operation.

A manifold gauge set must also be used in conjunction with the charging and/or recovery/recycling device. Only use gauges that have not been used
for R-12.The service hoses on the gauge set should have manual (turn wheel) or automatic back flow valves at the service port connector ends. This
will prevent refrigerant R-134a from being released into the atmosphere.

R-134a refrigerant requires a special type of compressor oil. When adding oil, make sure that it is designed to be used in a R-134a system. Refer to the
label under the hood for proper oil and refrigerant charge levels
