R12 refrigerant circuits are never to be mixed.
- Service stations which come in contact with the refrigerant
are only to be used for the intended refrigerant.
- Components of R134a refrigerant circuits can be identified
by their markings, green labels or design (such as different
threads) to prevent interchanging with components designed for
refrigerant R12.
- A label indicating the refrigerant used is provided in the
engine compartment on the lock carrier or in the plenum chamber.
- Different refrigerants are never to be mixed.
