1.1.1.�TPMS
The�F34�LCI�receives�the�tire�pressure�control�system�TPMS�as�standard�equipment.
When�servicing,�the�different�types�of�wheel�electronics�must�be�kept�in�mind.�The�wheel�electronics
of�the�two�different�systems�must�not�be�confused�with�one�another.
Further�information�on�the�TPMS�system�can�be�found�in�the�Technical�Training�manual�"ST1403a�I01

1.1.2.�Air�conditioning
The�F34�LCI�uses�the�new�refrigerant�R1234yf.
The�design�of�the�filling�valves�of�a�R1234yf�heating�and�air�conditioning�system,�which�are�installed
in�the�refrigerant�circuit,�are�different�from�those�of�a�R134a�heating�and�air�conditioning�system.�The
R1234yf�A/C�service�station�has�different�service�connections�than�the�R134a�service�station.
R1234yf�refrigerant�is�identified�with�grey�screw�caps�on�the�filling�valves�along�with�the�identification
of�the�fill�label�under�the�hood�specifying�the�R1234yf�refrigerant.
