Air Conditioning (A/C) System

Air Conditioning
The R-134a air conditioning system uses a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) non-CFC based refrigerant, R-134a requires the use of Jaguar refrigerant oil or equivalent meeting Jaguar specification. Do not use R-12 tools and equipment when repairing a R-134a system unless specified in the workshop manual. Never mix R-12 and R-134a refrigerants and oils. They are not compatible.

A/C System
The A/C system is a multi-piece, single case design, with an integral blower. The system allows the operator to control the temperature by delivering heated or cooled air to maintain a constant temperature. In addition, during A/C operation, it reduces the relative humidity of air inside the vehicle. Controls are provided to adjust the temperature and system functions, included blower motor speeds for desired airflow. Outside air is drawn from the cowl air inlet just below the windshield during all system operations except for MAX A/C cooling (when recirculated air is used) and OFF.
