To read an automotive air conditioning pressure gauge, follow these steps: 1. The pressure gauge dial has two circular scales in red and blue, along with a pointer. 2. The red scale indicates high pressure, with a normal range of 8 to 22.5 bar, while the blue scale shows low pressure, with a normal range of 1.5 to 2.5 bar. 3. Actual values may vary slightly depending on interior/exterior temperatures and vehicle specifications, with the low-pressure reading being the commonly referenced value. To use an automotive air conditioning pressure gauge: 1. Connect the high and low-pressure hoses to the AC system pipes. 2. Engage the push pin to open the charging valve core. 3. Connect the system to the pressure gauge.
