Important instructions regarding air-conditioner system repair
l  An air-conditioner system designed to operate with refrigerant R12 cannot be used with refrigerant R134a, without first carrying out modifications to the refrigerant circuit.
l  Refrigerant oils specially designed for refrigerant circuits which use R134a and for those which use R12 must never be mixed.
l  Service stations which come into contact with a specific refrigerant must only be used with that specific refrigerant.
l  Circuit components designed for use with refrigerant R134a are marked by means of inscriptions and/or green labels, or are manufactured (e.g. using different threads) in such a way that it is impossible to confuse them with components designed to operate with refrigerant R12.
l  There is an information plate in the engine compartment, lock carrier plate or plenum chamber which specifies the refrigerant used.
l  Different refrigerants must under no circumstances be mixed.
  Note
If work is to be carried out on the refrigerant circuit, take into account the information contained in chapters „Safety measures“ and „Basic aspects for working on the refrigerant circuit“.
