Environmental legislation makes increasing demands on safe handling of refrigerant.
The refrigerant used by Volvo in the AC-systems is designated R134a.
WARNING:
R134a must not be mixed with other refrigerants. It must not be used in air conditioning (A/C) systems for which other refrigerant types are specified.
In order to satisfy the latest legal requirements and at the same time achieve rational handling, Volvo has developed equipment for R134a that drains, cleans and recycles the refrigerant. Also, it is possible to vacuum pump, test and recharge the car's AC-system.
NOTE:
The statutory requirements for handling refrigerants can vary from country to country. It is important that national legislation, applying to handling of refrigerants for the country where the equipment is to be used, is followed.
Read the safety regulations for handling refrigerant according to Refrigerant, safety regulations before the equipment is used!
