INSTALLATION
NOTE: Be certain to add refrigerant oil if the rear
refrigerant reservoir is being replaced. The refriger-
ant oil must be drained from the old refrigerant res-
ervoir and measured to determine the amount of
refrigerant oil to add to the new reservoir. Use only
refrigerant oil of the type recommended for the rear
A/C compressor in the vehicle.
(1) If the rea r refriger ant reservoir is being
repla ced, in st all th e correct amount and type of
refriger ant oil into the new rear refr iger ant reservoir.
Drain th e old refrigerant r eservoir an d measure t he
refriger ant oil. Fill the new refrigerant reservoir with
the same am ount of new refr igerant oil t hat was
dr ained ou t of the old reservoir.
