APPLYING CAUTION LABEL TO VEHICLES USING R-12 A/C SYSTEMS (REVISED)
Beginning with May 15, 1993 production, the EPA has required two Ozone Depleting Substance (ODS) Caution Labels to be applied on every new vehicle. The first is required when Methyl Chloroform is used in the vehicle manufacturing process. The second label, a Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC-12) Caution Label, is required to be installed on new vehicles when the vehicle is equipped with an air conditioning system, manufactured after May 15, 1993, which utilizes R-12.
All Methyl Chloroform Caution Labels will be applied to vehicles at the manufacturing plant. Vehicles equipped with factory installed R-12 A/C systems will also have the CFC-12 Caution Label applied at the manufacturing plant.
Vehicles with port or dealer installed A/C will have the CFC-12 Caution Label applied at the, A/C kit installation location. The CFC-12 Caution Label is ONLY required for A/C kits manufactured after May 15, 1993.
A CFC-12 CAUTION LABEL is supplied with all dealer installed A/C kits, manufactured after May 15, 1993, and must be applied on the inside upper right (passenger side) of the windshield when any PIO/DIO R-12 kit, manufactured after May 15, 1993, is installed.
NOTE:
Caution labels must be left on vehicle until delivery to a retail customer.
NOTE:
To avoid obstruction of the driver's vision, the label should not extend beyond 90 mm below the upper edge of the windshield.
