Refrigerant capacity is 5.5 lb (2.4 kg).
Tag hoses prior to removal to ensure correct installation.
Use a container to catch any fluid that may drain from hoses or system. Dispose of fluid IAW local pol-
icy and ordinances. Ensure all spills are cleaned up.
Refrigerant is odorless. As a result, all of it may leak away and not be noticed until system stops cool-
ing. All vehicle refrigerant systems lose some refrigerant depending on the condition of system. Higher
loss rates signal a need to locate and repair leaks.
Leaks are most often found at the compressor hose connections and at various fittings and joints in sys-
tem. If unapproved replacement hoses are installed, refrigerant can be lost through hose permeation.
