Kia Picanto: Automatic climate control system / Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant and
compressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low,
the performance of the air conditioning
is reduced. Overfilling also has a bad influence
on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by a
professional workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorized
Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING
Vehicles equipped with
R-134a*
Because the refrigerant is
at very high pressure, the
air conditioning system
should only be serviced
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.
