up and parking, You must
always use methods of view-
ing the area behind you
including looking over both
shoulders as well as continu-
ously checking all three rear
view mirrors.

Checking the amount of air
conditioner refrigerant and
compressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is
low, the performance of the air con-
ditioning is reduced. Overfilling also
has a negative influence on the air
conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is
found, have the system inspected by
an authorized Kia dealer.
The refrigerant label is located on
the underside of the hood.
OYB086002
WARNING - Vehicles
equipped with R-1234yf
Since the refrigerantis mildly flammable
and operated at high
pressure, the air con-
ditioning system
should only be serv-
iced by trained and
certified technicians.
(Refer to the SAE
J2845)
It is important that the correct
type and amount of oil and
refrigerant are used.
All refrigerants should be
reclaimed with proper equip-
ment.
Venting refrigerants directly to
the atmosphere is harmful to
individuals and environment.
Failure to heed these warnings
can lead to serious injuries.
