When used in warm and hot countries the A/C filling capacity must be reduced as follows to ensure that the A/C compressor is not damaged:
- Filling capacity in warm countries (outside temperature
between 35 °C and 50 °C) to be reduced to 875 g.
- Filling capacity in hot countries
(outside temperature > 50 °C) to be reduced to 735 g.
The refrigerant capacity ex-factory is 975 g. To ensure that the correct filling capacity is present, the A/C system has to be completely evacuated first and then filled again with the adapted refrigerant capacity.
