| Instructions and safety measures for repair work on vehicles with air conditioning and when using refrigerant R 134a |
| Safety measures must be observed for refrigerant R 134a (additional directives may apply in individual countries): |
| Refrigerant must not be released into the environment, it must be drained off from the refrigerant circuit using an exhaust system or service position. The drained off refrigerant is processed on site or is returned to the manufacturer for ecological disposal (different or additional directives may apply in certain countries). |
| If during repairs on the vehicle it is necessary to drain the refrigerant circuit, the vehicle must be entrusted to a service centre! |
| Reasons: |
| Only the service centres have suitable service positions and properly trained personnel where the refrigerant can be drained off professionally. |
| In order to carry out professional work on air conditioning systems for vehicles, you must have completed a training course on the air conditioning system including general knowledge (possibly with a corresponding final test) and you must be able to implement these elements in practice, see → Air conditioning system with refrigerant R134a; Rep. gr.00 General notes on the air conditioning system. |
| Only these workers are recognised as qualified to pursue the activities on air conditioning systems for vehicles. |
| Alternative or additional regulations may be valid in certain countries. |
Note| All the safety measures when working on vehicles with air conditioning system, when using the refrigerant as well as to the below-mentioned chapters can be found in the Workshop Manual „Air conditioning system with refrigerant R134a“ → Air conditioning system with refrigerant R134a; Rep. gr.00 technical data. |
