WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Jaguar XKR, 2011 Jaguar XK, 2010 Jaguar XKR, and 2010 Jaguar XK. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    WARNING: Use extreme care and observe all safety precautions related to the use of refrigerants. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
    WARNING: The A/C refrigerant analyzer must be used before the recovery of any vehicle's A/C refrigerant. Failure to do so puts shop bulk refrigerant at risk of contamination. If the vehicle A/C refrigerant is contaminated, refer the customer to return to the repair facility that carried out the last A/C repair. If the customer wishes to pay the additional cost, use the A/C recovery equipment that is designated for recovering contaminated A/C refrigerant. All contaminated A/C refrigerant must be disposed of as hazardous waste. For all equipment, follow the equipment manufacturers procedures and instructions. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury.
    NOTE: Jaguar Land Rover Limited supports the efficient usage, recovery and recycling of the refrigerant used in passenger car air conditioners. Jaguar Land Rover Limited recommends the use of UL-approved recovery/recycling device such as R-134a A/C refrigerant center (which meets SAE Standard J 1991) during any A/C system repair and recharge procedure which requires that the system be evacuated.
  1. Use R-134a A/C Refrigerant Centre to evacuate and recover the A/C system.
    • Follow the equipment manufactures procedures and instructions for use of equipment.
