2 SUMMARY OF WARRANTY COVERAGE

BBB AUTO LINE is an informal dispute settlement
mechanism operated to comply with applicable Fed-
eral law and regulations. In states where BBB AUTO
LINE is available, you are required to use BBB AUTO
LINE before exercisingrights or seeking remedies
under Title 1 of the Federal Magnuson-Moss War-
ranty Act, 15 U.S.C.§2301, et. seq. If you choose to
seek remedies other than those created by Title 1 of
the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, (for example,
under state law), that Federal Act does not require
you to first use BBB AUTO LINE. The program is still
available to you, however, and may be of consider-
able assist ance. Some states spec ify that informal
dispute settlement mechanisms such as BBB AUTO
LINE must be used before you may use state-
operated complaint resolution processes, before
you may file a lawsuit under state law, and/or be-
fore you may have certain other rights or remedies
available under state law. In accordance with those
states’ laws, Infiniti requires the prior use of BBB
AUTO LINE in good faith before you resort to such
other processes, file a lawsuit, or seek other rem-
edies provided by state law. Please see the Supple-
ment to 2017 Infiniti Warranty Information Booklet
& 2017 Infiniti Owner’s Manual for additional
information. BBB AUTO LINE may not be available in all states. We,
Infiniti, can provide you with information about the
availability of BBB AUTO LINE in your state, or call the
BBB AUTO LINE number listed above.
ELIGIBILITY: Generally, Infiniti vehicles less than four
years old from date delivered to the first retail buyer or
otherwise put into use, and with fewer than
60,000 miles, are eligible for the program. See
Supple-
ment to 2017 Infiniti Warranty Information Booklet &
2017 Infiniti Owner’s Manual for possible exceptions
applying in your state.
ASSISTANCE OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY
In support of our commitment to the “Total Ownership
Experience,” Infiniti may occasionally offer to pay or
reimburse for part or all of the cost of making certain,
specific repairs beyond or outside of the terms of the
warranty for some specific vehicle models. (Some states
refer to such programs as “adjustment programs”). In
such circumstances Infiniti mails notices to all known
registered owners of affected vehicles. You may addi-
tionally inquire of your authorized Infiniti retailer or of
Infiniti directly at the number listed below of the appli-
cability of such programs to your vehicle. Infiniti may occ
asionallyoffer special assistance that
may pay for part or all of vehicle repairs beyond the
expiration of the limited warranty period on a case by
case basis. Should you experience unusual difficulties
with your vehicle please discuss the situation with your
retailer. If your retailer is unable to assist you, you may
call the Infiniti Consumer Affairs Department at 1-800-
662-6200 to discuss your concern. You will need to
provide the Model, Model Year, VIN (Vehicle Identifica-
tion Number), mileage, maintenance history, a detailed
explanation of the concern, and why you believe that
Infiniti should be responsible for the repair. Your re-
quest will be individually investigated and you will be
informed of Infiniti‘s decision.

Warranty Information Booklet & 2017 Owner’s
Manual for important information concerning con-
sumer rights in your state.

SAFETY WARNINGSProperty damage, serious injury or death may result from:●TIRE FAILURE DUE TO UNDERINFLATION/
OVERLOADING/ MISAPPLICATION.
Follow the vehicle Owner’s Manual or tire placard in
vehicle.
●TIRE FAILURE DUE TO IMPACT DAMAGE/IMPROPER
MAINTENANCE.
Tires should be inspected regularly by a qualified
technician for signs of damage, such as punctures or
impacts.
●TIRE FAILURE DUE TO IMPROPER REPAIRS.
See Rubber Manufacturer’s Association (RMA) es-
tablished repair procedures at www.rma.org and/or
go to www.goodyear.com for information on proper
repair procedures.
●EXPLOSION OF TIRE/RIM ASSEMBLY DUE TO
IMPROPER MOUNTING.
Only specially-trained persons should mount tires.
When mounting tires, use safety cage and clip-on
extension air hose to inflate.
●FAILURE TO MOUNT RADIAL TIRES ON APPROVED
RIMS.
●FAILURE TO DEFLATE SINGLE OR DUAL ASSEMBLIES
COMPLETELY BEFORE DEMOUNTING.
●TIRE SPINNING.
On slippery surfaces such as snow, mud, ice, etc., do
not spin tires in excess of 35 mph (55 kph), as indi-
cated on the speedometer.
●EXCESSIVE WHEEL SPINNING.This can also result in tire disintegration or axle failure.
WARNING: Vehicle handling, traction, ride comfort and
other performance parameters may be significantly af-
fected by a change in tire size or type. Before replacing
tires, always consult and follow the vehicle Owner’s
Manual because some vehicle manufacturers prohibit
changing tire size. When selectin g tires that are different
from the original equipment size make certain: (1) The
tires have adequate load carrying capacity based on the
vehicle placard, (2) The tires have sufficient inflation
pressure to carry the load and (3) There is proper clear-
ance with no interference points between the tire and
vehicle. The consumer must be aware to always drive
safely and obey all traffic laws. Avoid sudden, sharp
turns or lane changes. Failure to follow any of these
warnings may result in loss of control of the vehicle,
leading to an accident and serious injury or death.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
The easiest way t o help ensure satisf actory mileage and
performance from your Goodyear or Dunlop tires is to
give them a simple but frequent (at least monthly) in-
spection for proper inflation, ev en treadwear, and the
presence of any damage.
DO MAINTAIN PROPE R INFLATIONPRESSURE
IN YOUR TIRES
Proper inflation pressure is necessary for optimum tire
performance, safety and fuel economy. Check inflation
pressures at least once a month and before long trips. Use
an accurate tire pressure gauge. Always check pressures
when the tires are cold (when the vehicle has been driven
less than one mile). If you must check inflation when the tires are hot, add 4 psi (27 kPa) to the recommended cold
inflation pressure. It is difficult to tell just by looking at
radial tires whether they are underinflated.
*
Furthermore, when operating a vehicle equipped with
radial tires, it is difficult to notice when a tire has gone
flat or nearly flat since the “feel” of the vehicle does not
change significantly.
Progressive air loss may result from punctures, cuts,
curbing, impacts or partial bead unseating. Some fit-
ment causes for air loss are (1) incomplete bead seat-
ing, (2) bead tearing caused by a machine tool due to
insufficient lubrication or improper adjustment, (3)
leaking valve core or rubber valve components should
be replaced when problems are detected and whenever
tires are replaced.
Always maintain inflation pressure at the level recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer as shown on the
vehicle placard, vehicle certification label or in the ve-
hicle Owner’s Manual:
Underinflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may
result in severe cracking, component separation or “blow-
out.” It reduces tire load capacity, allows excessive side-
wall flexing and increases rolling resistance, resulting in
heat and mechanical damage. Maintaining proper infla-
tion pressure is the single most important thing you can do
to promote tire durability
and maximize tread life.
Overinflation increases stiffness, which may deteriorate
ride and generate unwanted vibration. Overinflation
also increases the chances of impact damage.
(Continued on next page)
* Evidence of air loss or repeated underinflation always requires expert ins pection to determine the source of leakage and tire removal to determine repairability. To avoid injury, NEVER
attempt to reinflate a tire that has been run severely underinflated.
28 GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

3. HOW A PRO RATA PRICE IS CALCULATED
The replacement tire price will be determined by multiply-
ing the percentage of the usable tread worn by the Retail-
ers Selling Price (excluding all applicable taxes) at the time
of the adjustment or the Continental/General brand cur-
rent published Adjustment Base Price, whichever is lower.
The usable tread is the original tread down to the tread
wear indicators (2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining).
The Adjustment Base Price is intended to fairly represent a
Retailer ’s Selling Price for the same or comparable tire.
4. WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE
ADJUSTMENT POLICY
a.The following conditions are not covered:Road Hazard: Cuts, snags, punctures, bruises or impact
breaks and any damage caused by puncture or tire repair.
Ride/Vibration: After “Free Replacement Policy” (set
forth in section 2A) expires.
Tire Damage or Failure Resu lting From Improper Opera-
tion or Maintenance: Load, speed, and inflation practices
causing excessive operational temperatures to exceed
the tire capabilities.
Tire damage (including irregular treadwear) or failure re-
sulting from: improper mounting or demounting, dam-
aged rim, wheel alignment, tire trueing, chain damage,
brakes or any similar mechanical problem, extreme tem-
perature exposure, misuse, negligence, and abusive
driving such as tire spinning, racing or accident damage.
Tire failure resulting from intentional alterations: such as
adding a white inlay on a black wall or sealant materials.
Age Conditions: Weather checking/cracking coverage is
for a maximum period of 48 months from the date of
purchase.
b. General Exclusions -
Tire(s) submitted for an adjustment in service for
longer than 72 months from date of purchase*, are
not covered by this policy.
