- Symbols on the information label -A- indicate the dangers which may occur when handling refrigerant and/or when working on the refrigerant circuit.
- Norms and standards can also be stated, such as the valid SAE standards defined in the USA.
- Depending on the version and the vehicle date of manufacture, the GWP value (global warming potential) for the refrigerant used may also be specified.
- Depending on the version and the vehicle date of manufacture, the CO2 equivalents "CO2
eq" of R1234yf, may also be specified. The value states what influence the quantity of R1234yf filled in this refrigerant circuit has on the Earth's atmosphere, if it completely escapes. The influence of carbon dioxide ("CO2
") is used here as a reference value.
- The capacities and the type of refrigerant oil specified on the information label -A- show the status at the time of vehicle production.
