Safety Warning

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 70 other vehicles, including the 2012 BMW Z4, 2012 BMW X6 M, 2012 BMW X6, 2012 BMW X5 M, and 2012 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Avoid any contact with liquid refrigerant, since this could cause frostbite. Protect eyes with safety goggles and hands with gloves. Contact a doctor without delay in case of an accident.

Freon® R12 is heavier than air, so this refrigerant must not be discharged in closed rooms. There is danger of asphyxiation in a sunken work area (pit). Do not store bottles of refrigerant at temperatures above 113°F/45°C or heat them.

Never weld on or near a system filled with refrigerant. Heat could cause excessive pressure and an explosion. In addition, Freon® R12 will decompose at high temperature or when subjected to an open flame. The resulting decomposition products would be hazardous to health.

Make sure you read the container label instructions completely prior to use.

Obtain and use the correct type of refrigerant recovery/recycling machine. Follow the directions included in the machine's instruction manual.
