Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Safety precautions when handling refrigerants

| When working on the air conditioning system, there is a risk of
highly pressurised refrigerant escaping from the system. There is a risk
of injury to the skin and parts of the body due to freezing. |

Extract refrigerant, and open the refrigerant circuit immediately
afterwards. |

If more than 10 minutes passed since the refrigerant has been
extracted, do not open the refrigerant circuit prior to extracting
refrigerant anew. Due to re-evaporation, pressure will be built up in
the refrigerant circuit. |
