Kia Soul: 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 bad influence on the air conditioning system.
Therefore, if abnormal operation is found, have the system inspected by a professional
workshop.
Kia recommends to visit an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
WARNING

Because the refrigerant is at very high pressure, the air conditioning system
should only be serviced by trained and certified technicians. It is important that
the correct type and amount of oil and refrigerant is used.
Otherwise, it may cause damage to the vehicle and personal injury.
