==AC Recharge Overview==
If the air from the vents does not seem cold enough but the air conditionning conditioning is still working, the A/C may not have been recharged for a long time, or there may be small leaks in the system. Joints between pipes and hoses depend on o-ring seals which often dry out and lose their elastic properties after a few years. For best operation, the system should be evacuated, recharged, and tested for leaks every few years(4-6) by an A/C service professional who can be trusted, but adding refrigerant is a simple process with no special tools required.
===Cautions===
* Cotton gloves
* Eye protection
* AC Charging guagegauge
* AC Refrigerant
** 900 - r134a refrigerant and PAG-100 oil
The low pressure port is located next to radiator near the battery. Fig. 1

The high pressure port is located behind the grille, and should be avoided. Fig. 2

===Charging===
One end of the charging hose snaps over the low pressure port. The other end of the hose screws down tight on top of the refrigerant container. The thumb screw at the container is screwed in to pierce the container seal, and then backed off to allow the refrigerant or the esther oil out. If adding oil, the can is held upside down. If adding refrigerant, right side up. Fig. 3
