Environmental Information

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Volkswagen Beetle, 2015 Volkswagen Beetle, 2014 Volkswagen Beetle, and 2013 Volkswagen Beetle. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Vehicles manufactured after 1992 have air conditioning systems that use refrigerant R134a. This refrigerant does not contain chlorine and does not deplete the ozone layer.

Refrigerant R12 was used through 1992. Due to its chlorine atoms, this CFC has a high potential for depleting the ozone layer as well as a tendency to increase the greenhouse effect.

Conversions are offered for existing systems filled with the ozone-depleting substance R12.

Refer to Repair Information for A/C systems with refrigerant R12.

For environmental protection reasons, refrigerants must not be released into the atmosphere. For laws and regulations, refer to LAWS AND REGULATIONS .
