Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare your vehicle
- Park the car on a level surface and ensure the engine is running.
- Turn on the AC system to its maximum setting and ensure the air blow is set to the highest level.
2. Locate AC Ports
- Identify the low-pressure AC port, usually located near the AC compressor. Refer to your vehicle's manual if unsure
3. Attach the Hose
- Take out the refill kit hose from the packaging.
- With the engine running and the AC system on, screw the hose securely onto the low-pressure AC port. Ensure it's tightly attached to prevent leaks.
4. Prepare the Refrigerant Can
- Shake the refrigerant can well before attaching it to the hose.
- Follow any specific instructions provided on the can.
5. Refill the System
- With the engine running and the AC system on, attach the refrigerant can to the hose.
- Follow the instructions on the can regarding the proper amount to refill based on your vehicle's specifications.
- Slowly release the refrigerant into the AC system. Keep an eye on the pressure gauge to prevent overfilling.
6. Monitor pressure
- As you refill, periodically check the pressure gauge to ensure you're within the recommended range.
7. Disconnect and Test
- Once the refill is complete, disconnect the hose from the AC port.
- Turn off the engine and test the AC system's performance by turning it on again.
Safety Tips
Include a reminder to only perform the refill procedure with the engine running and the AC system on its maximum setting to ensure proper functionality.
Troubleshooting Tips
Provide guidance on what to do if the refill process doesn't work as expected despite following the instructions, such as checking for leaks or verifying proper attachment of the hose.

After Refill Instructions
1. Storage of Leftover Gas
- If there is any leftover refrigerant in the can after completing the refill, it can be stored in the can with the hose securely attached.
- Ensure the valve on the can is tightly closed to prevent leaks.
2. Removing Hose from Empty Bottle
- If the refrigerant can is empty and there's no remaining gas, carefully remove the hose from the bottle.
- Be cautious as there may be some residual pressure or air in the bottle.
3. Disposal
- Once the bottle is empty and no longer needed, it can be disposed of as regular household waste.
- There's no need for special disposal procedures as the bottle does not contain any harmful substances.
Environmental Considerations
- Proper disposal of empty bottles helps reduce waste and promotes environmental sustainability.
- Consider recycling the empty bottle if facilities are available in your area.
