Freon is a registered trademark, and does not apply to all refrigerants. What refrigerant your vehicle uses depends on model year. 1995 or newer will use R-134a. Vehicles older than 1995 will mostly use R-12 - while the first R-134a systems were introduced in 1992, they were not mandated until 1995. Check the schrader valves on your AC system. If there are threads on the outer portion, it is (or originally was) an R-12 system. It is possible that a R-12 system was retrofitted for R-134A - a refrigerant purity test done by a shop will be required to determine this.
