Kia Sportage: Automatic climate control system / Checking the amount of air conditioner refrigerant and compressor lubricant
When the amount of refrigerant is low, the performance of the air conditioning
is reduced. Overfilling also has a negative impact on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is found, have the system inspected by an authorized
Kia dealer.

The oil and refrigerant in your vehicle's air conditioning system is under
very high pressure. If proper service procedures are not followed an explosion may
result. To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, the air conditioning system
in your vehicle should only be serviced by trained and certified technicians.
CAUTION
It is important that the correct type and amount of oil and refrigerant is
used, otherwise damage to the vehicle may occur. To prevent damage, the air conditioning
system in your vehicle should only be serviced by trained and certified technicians.
