Warning! The air conditioning system is under high pressure. No replacement of parts is allowed until the system has been discharged at a service station. Wear safety glasses when replacing air conditioning system parts.
1. The following air conditioning system maintenance operations must be performed regularly:
- a) Check the tensioner belt compressor.
- b) Check the condition and tension of the compressor drive belt.
- c) Inspect all system hoses for cracks, swelling, hardening and signs of wear. Check the reliability of the connections.
- d) Clean the condenser grille from leaves and dead insects.
- d) Check the pressure in the air conditioning system.
2. Run your air conditioning system for about 10 minutes at least once a month to extend the life of your seals.

3. Since repairing the air conditioning system requires specialized equipment and knowledge, the repair operations of the system are not described in this manual. However, simple replacement operations for some components are still described in this Chapter.
4. The main reason for poor cooling system performance is low refrigerant level. If you notice that your air conditioner is not working properly, the following steps will help you quickly determine the refrigerant level in the system.
5. Warm up the engine to normal temperature.
6. Set the air conditioner temperature switch to the lowest setting and the fan switch to the highest setting. Open the doors to make sure the air conditioning system does not turn off when the specified temperature is reached.
7. To check the refrigerant level in the air conditioning system, turn on the air conditioning system and check the refrigerant condition through the sight glass. If there are bubbles in the refrigerant and it foams, then the refrigerant level is low.
