WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The A/C system on models equipped with the 2.8L engine use a Zexel DKS-17DS A/C compressor (1). This A/C compressor is a ten cylinder, double-acting swash plate-type compressor that uses an electrically operated clutch (2) to engage and disengage the A/C compressor from the engine accessory drive belt.
The DKS-17DS A/C compressor has a fixed displacement of 175.5 cubic centimeters (10.7 cubic inches) and has the suction and discharge ports (6) located on the compressor cylinder block (3). This A/C compressor also has an integral high pressure relief valve (4) located on the cylinder head (5) and a label which identifies the use of R-134a refrigerant.
