WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Volkswagen CC, 2010 Volkswagen CC, and 2009 Volkswagen CC. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
There is a danger of ice-up.
Refrigerant leaks out if refrigerant circuit is not discharged.
Refrigerant must be extracted before opening the refrigerant circuit. If refrigerant circuit is not opened within 10 minutes of extraction, pressure may form in refrigerant circuit due to evaporation. Extract refrigerant once more.
