General Procedures

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S, 2015 Jaguar XKR, 2015 Jaguar XK, 2014 Jaguar XKR-S, and 2014 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    WARNING:
    • Use extreme care and observe all safety precautions related to the use of refrigerants. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
    • The A/C refrigerant analyzer must be used before the recovery of any vehicle's A/C refrigerant. Failure to do so puts shop bulk refrigerant at risk of contamination. If the vehicle A/C refrigerant is contaminated, refer the customer to return to the repair facility that carried out the last A/C repair. If the customer wishes to pay the additional cost, use the A/C recovery equipment that is designated for recovering contaminated A/C refrigerant. All contaminated A/C refrigerant must be disposed of as hazardous waste. For all equipment, follow the equipment manufacturers procedures and instructions. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
    NOTE: Jaguar Land Rover Limited supports the efficient usage, recovery and recycling of the refrigerant used in passenger car air conditioners. Jaguar Land Rover Limited recommends the use of UL-approved recovery/recycling device such as R-134a A/C refrigerant center (which meets SAE Standard J 1991) during any A/C system repair and recharge procedure which requires that the system be evacuated.
  1. Use R-134a A/C Refrigerant Centre to evacuate and recover the A/C system.

    • Follow the equipment manufactures procedures and instructions for use of equipment.
