WHAT IS COVERED?
Infiniti2warrants your Genuine Infiniti Replacement
Battery as described below except as stated under
“What is not covered?”
This warranty covers defects in materials and workman-
ship.
HOW LONG IS THE WARRANTY AND WHAT
WILL INFINITI DO
If your battery becomes unserviceable within the first
24 months of service Infiniti will replace your battery,
including labor, without charge, providing the battery
was originally installed in your vehicle by an authorized
Infiniti retailer.
If the battery becomes unserviceable after 24 months of
use, Infiniti will provide a replacement battery at a re-
duced price, charging only for the portion of the life of
the battery actually used. This is called a “pro-rata ad-
justment”. You will be responsible for all labor charges
for the replacement of the battery.
This warranty and the “pro-rata adjustment” end
84 months after the date of the battery’s purchase or
installation, whichever is earlier.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED?
This warranty does not cover:
1. Damage or failure resulting from:
●Accident, theft, fire or freezing.
●Misuse of the battery or vehicle in which it is
installed, including the use in applications for
which the battery was not designed. Proper use
is described in the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.
●Improper installation or battery charging.
●Vehicle electrical malfunctions not covered by
your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
●Modification or improper repair of the vehicle or
a part of the vehicle.
●Use of parts not equivalent in quality or design
to parts supplied by Infiniti or Infiniti.
●Environmental conditions, including, but not
limited to flood, and salt spray or salt water.
2. Normal maintenance service and recharging of dis-
charged batteries.
3. Batteries in service more than 84 months.
4. Salvage Title. This warranty does not cover damage,
failure, or corrosion to any Genuine Infiniti battery
installed in the vehicle, if the vehicle is issued a
“salvage” or similar title unless state law expressly
states otherwise. (This exclusion does not extend
to a new Genuine Infiniti battery installed in the
vehicle after the issuance of a “salvage” or similar
title).
WHATYOUMUSTDO
In order to obtain warranty service, you must deliver the
warranted battery or the vehicle in which the battery is
installed to an authorized Infiniti retailer in the U.S. or
Canada at your expense, with proof of purchase (parts
invoice or service repair order from an authorized
Infiniti retailer). The names and addresses of autho-
rized Infiniti retailers are listed in telephone directories
orInfiniti.com.
If the “pro-rata adjustment” applies, you must pay for
the portion of the 84 month warrantable life that you
actually used. The amount you pay is computed in two
steps. First, the client pay percentage is determined
from the chart shown below based upon the months of
actual battery service.
Months
In ServiceClient Pay
Percentage
0–24 0%
25–32 25%
33–50 50%
51–84 75%
Second, the current suggested retail price of the new
battery is multiplied by theclient pay percentage. For
example, should the battery fail after 40 months of
service you would pay 50% of the suggested retail price
of the new battery.

SAFETY WARNINGS
Property 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
indicated 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 vehiclemanufacturers prohibit
changing tire size. When selecting 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 to help ensure satisfactory 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, even treadwear, and the
presence of any damage.
DO MAINTAIN PROPER 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 coldinflation 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.
*Evidence of air loss or repeated underinflation always
requires expert inspection to determine the source of
leakage and tire removal todetermine repairability.To
avoid injury, NEVER attempt to reinflate a tire that has
been run severely underinflated.
Progressive air loss may result from punctures, cuts, curb-
ing, impacts or partial bead unseating. Some fitment
causes for air loss are (1) incomplete bead seating, (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
“blowout.” It reduces tire load capacity, allows excessive
sidewall flexing and increases rolling resistance, result-
ing in heat and mechanical damage. Maintaining proper
inflation 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.

WARNING
If the tire pressure-monitoring system signals an alert,
follow these safety precautions to prevent a loss of
vehicle control that could result in serious personal
injury or death:
●Slow your speed. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 kph).
●Avoid hard cornering, hard braking and severe han-
dling maneuvers.
●Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
Remember that when your tires have lost air pressure,
your vehicle’s handling capability is reduced, particu-
larly during severe maneuvers.
TO PROLONG TIRE LIFE DURING A SYSTEM
ALERT
The Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire can be driven at
low or zero air pressure (refer to your vehicle Owner’s
Manual for these limitations). Tohelp prolong the life of
a tire operating under low-inflation conditions, drive at
a speed as far below 50 mph (80 kph) as possible. Also,
drive the shortest distance possible before obtaining
tire service. Taking these precautions will increase the
chance that your tire will be repairable.
SERVICE AFTER A SYSTEM ALERT
To obtain service after operating under low-inflation
conditions, contact your Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat
service facility. Trained service personnel will inspect
your tires to determine if they are in need of repair or
replacement. To locate the nearest authorized Goodyear
or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility, call 1-800-
GOODYEAR (1-800-466-3932).
WARNING
Because of the unique characteristics of Run-Flat tires,
the wheels on which they are mounted and your vehi-
cle’s tire pressure monitoring system, all tire service
work other than routine inflation maintenance and ex-
ternal inspections must be performed by service per-
sonnel at a Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility.
Do not attempt to mount or demount Run-Flat tires your-
self; serious injury or death could result. Only specially
trained persons should mount, demount and repair
Run-Flat tires, and more than 40 psi (270 kPa) may be
required to seat beads. A safety cage and clip-on exten-
sion air hose must be used if more than 40 psi (270kPa)
is needed to seat beads.
TIRE REPAIR
Like any other Goodyear or Dunlop speed-rated, high-
performance tire, the Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire
may be repaired to correct a puncture in the tread, but
PROPER MATERIALS AND PROCEDURES MUST BE USED.
Contact a Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility
for information on proper repairs. For the location of the
nearest facility, call 1-800-GOODYEAR (1-800-466-
3932).
WARNING
Goodyear and Dunlop Run-Flat tires are designed for use
only on certain original equipment wheels supplied with
a properly operating low tire pressure-monitoring sys-
tem. If applied to a vehicle without a properly operating
low tire pressure-monitoring system, the tires may fail
when operated in an underinflated condition, resulting
in loss of vehicle control and possible serious injury or
death. Application of these tires to a vehicle not
equipped with specified operational low tire pressure-
monitoring system constitutes improper and unsafe use
of this product.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL MONITORING
The information contained in this Owner’s Manual and
Limited Warranty Brochure applies only to the Original
Equipment tires supplied with your vehicle.
In order for Goodyear Run-Flat (Extended Mobility Tech-
nology (EMT) and RunOnFlat (ROF)) tires to obtain the
performance criteria stated within this Limited War-
ranty, Goodyear Run-Flat tires must use specific parts,
such as a low tire pressure monitoring system autho-
rized by the Original Equipment vehicle manufacturer.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
The Goodyear Run-Flat tire is a high-performance tire
with a remarkable feature: It can operate for limited
distances, with very low or even no inflation pressure
(refer to your Vehicle Owner’s Manual for these limita-
tions). This is an important benefit, especially if inflation
loss occurs at a locationwhere immediately stopping
your vehicle could be hazardous. Because these tires
ride well even without air pressure, your vehicle must be
equipped with a system to alert you when a tire has low
or no air pressure.
MONITORING SYSTEM ALERT
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more informa-
tion on what to do if the tire pressure warning system
activates.
WARNING
If the tire pressure-monitoring system signals an
alert, follow these safety precautions to prevent a
loss of vehicle control that could result in serious
personal injury or death:
●Slow your speed as much as possible. Do not ex-
ceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
●Avoid hard cornering, hard braking and severe
handling maneuvers.
●Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
Remember that when your tires have lost air
pressure, your vehicle’s handling capability is
reduced, particularly during severe maneuvers.
TO PROLONG TIRE LIFE DURING A SYSTEM
ALERT
The Goodyear Run-Flat tire canbe driven at low or zero
air pressure (refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for
these limitations). To help prolong the life of a tire oper-
ating under low-inflation conditions, drive at a speed as
far below 50 mph (80 km/h) as possible. Also, drive the
shortest distance possible before obtaining tire service.
Taking these precautions will increase the chance that
your tire will be repairable.
SERVICE AFTER A SYSTEM ALERT
To obtain service after an alert from the tire pressure-
monitoring system, contact your Goodyear Run-Flat ser-
vice facility. Trained service personnel will inspect your
tires to determine if they are in need of repair or replace-
ment.To locate your nearest authorized Goodyear Run-Flat
service facility, call 1-800-RUN-FLAT, (1-800-786-3528).
WARNING
Because of the unique characteristics of Goodyear
Run-Flat tires, the wheels on which they are
mounted and your vehicle’s tire pressure monitoring
system, all tire service work other than routine infla-
tion maintenance and external inspections must be
performed by service personnel at a Goodyear Run-
Flat service facility.
Do not attempt to mount or dismount Run-Flat tires
yourself; serious injury or death could result. Only
specially trained persons should mount, dismount
and repair Run-Flat tires.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
While most tire maintenance must be performed by a
Goodyear Run-Flat service facility as noted above, there
are a few basic tire care items you can and should
regularly perform yourself. These are described below.
TIRE INFLATION
Underinflation is the leading cause of tire failure. It
reduces tire load capacity and allows excessive sidewall
flexing, resulting in high heat generation. Maintaining
proper inflation pressure is the single most important
thing you can do to promote tire durability and maxi-
mize tread life.

justment transaction for any kind of material added
to a tire (e.g., tire fillers, sealants, balancing sub-
stances) after the tire leaves a factory producing
Goodyear tires, nor will it adjust any tire that has
failed as a result of adding such material.
●Irregular wear or damage due to mechanical condi-
tion of the vehicle, improper inflation, overloading,
high-speed spin-up, misapplication, misuse, negli-
gence, racing, use of tire chains, improper mounting
or demounting, improper repair, wreck, collision or
fire.

facturer’s warranty.
●Loss of time, inconvenience, loss of vehicle use, in-
cidental or consequential damages.
WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS?
Some states and provinces do not permit the exclusion
or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so
this limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.No representative, servicing facility or Retailer has au-
thority to make any representation, promise or agree-
ment on behalf of Goodyear, except as stated herein.
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail in
service or otherwise become unserviceable due to con-
ditions beyond the control of the manufacturer. This
warranty is not intended as a representation that a tire
failure cannot occur.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you
may also have other rights that vary from state to state
and in Canada from province to province.
DISCLAIMER: THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF, AND
GOODYEAR HEREBY DISCLAIMS, ANY AND ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IM-
PLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WAR-
RANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PAR-
TICULAR PURPOSE, AND NO OTHER WARRANTY OR
REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND IS MADE BY GOODYEAR
OR SHALL BE IMPLIED BY LAW.
LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES: IN NO EVENT AND UNDER
NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL GOODYEAR BE LIABLE TO
THE BUYER FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, LOST PROFIT, LOSS OF BUSINESS,
LOSS OF GOODWILL OR REPUTATION, PUNITIVE OR
OTHER DAMAGE, COST (INCLUDING FOR REPLACEMENT
TRANSPORTATION), EXPENSE OR LOSS OF ANY KIND.
SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMI-
TATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU.
TIRE SERVICE LIFE
Tires are designed and built to provide many thousands
of miles of excellent service. For maximum benefit, tires
must be maintained properly to avoid tire damage that
may result in removal from service before the tread is
worn down to minimum depth.
It is not practical to accurately predict the service life of
any specific tire in chronological time since service con-
ditions vary widely. The serviceability of a tire over time
is a function of the storage and service conditions (in-
flation pressure, load, speed, road hazard injury, etc.) to
which a tire is subjected. Consumers should not rely
solely on the appearance of the tire, but should be
aware of any change in dynamic performance such as
increased air loss, noise or vibration, which could be a
sign to remove the tire. Therefore, it is essential to have
tires, including spares, inspected regularly (at least
monthly) for proper inflation pressure, damage and
tread wear.
WARNING
Property damage, serious injury or death may result
from:
●TIRE FAILURE DUE TO UNDERINFLATION/ OVER-
LOADING/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.

quential damages to the extent permitted by law. Some
states and provinces do not permit the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so
this limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail in
service or otherwise become unserviceable due to con-
ditions beyond the control of the manufacturer. This
warranty is not intended as a representation that a tire
failure cannot occur.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you
may also have other rights that vary from state to state
and in Canada from province to province.
DISCLAIMER: THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF, AND
GOODYEAR HEREBY DISCLAIMS, ANY AND ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IM-
PLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WAR-
RANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PAR-
TICULAR PURPOSE, AND NO OTHER WARRANTY OR
REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND IS MADE BY GOODYEAR
OR SHALL BE IMPLIED BY LAW.
LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES: IN NO EVENT AND UNDER
NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL GOODYEAR BE LIABLE TO
THE BUYER FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, LOST PROFIT, LOSS OF BUSINESS,
LOSS OF GOODWILL OR REPUTATION, PUNITIVE OR
OTHER DAMAGE, COST (INCLUDING FOR REPLACEMENT
TRANSPORTATION), EXPENSE OR LOSS OF ANY KIND.
SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMI-
TATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT

OWNER’S OBLIGATIONS
You must present the tire to be adjusted to an autho-
rized Dunlop DSST service facility. Tires replaced on an
adjustmentbasis become the property of Goodyear
Dunlop Tire North America Ltd. (GDTNA).
You must pay for taxes and any additional services you
order at the time of adjustment.
No claim will be recognized unless submitted on a
GDTNA approved claim form (supplied by a Dunlop Re-
tailer) completely filled out, signed by you and where
you, the owner or your authorized agent presented the
tire for adjustment.WARNING
Property damage, serious injury or death may result
from:
●TIRE FAILURE DUE TO UNDERINFLATION/
OVER-LOADING/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)
established 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 ASSEM-
BLIES 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
indicated on the speedometer.
●EXCESSIVE WHEEL SPINNING.
This can also result in tire disintegration or axle
failure.

OWNER’S MANUAL
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL WARNING
The information contained in this Owner’s Manual and
Limited Warranty Brochure applies only to the Original
Equipment tires supplied with your vehicle.
In order for Dunlop®Self-Supporting Technology
(DSST®) tires to obtain the performance criteria stated
within this Owner’s Manual and Limited Warranty, DSST
tires must be used with parts authorized by your Origi-
nal Equipment Vehicle Manufacturer, such as wheels
and tire pressure monitoring systems.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
The Dunlop DSST tire is a high-performance tire with a
remarkable feature: It can operate for limited distances,
with very low or even no inflation pressure (refer to your
vehicle Owner’s Manual for these limitations). This is an
important benefit, especially if inflation loss occurs at a
location where immediately stopping your vehicle could
be hazardous.
Because these tires ride well even without air pressure,
your vehicle is equipped with a system to alert you when
a tire has low or no air pressure.
MONITORING SYSTEM ALERT
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more informa-
tion on what to do if the tire pressure monitoring system
activates.
WARNING
If the tire pressure monitoring system signals an
alert, follow these safety precautions to prevent a
loss of vehicle control that could result in serious
personal injury or death:
●Slow your speed as much as possible. Do not ex-
ceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
●Avoid hard cornering, hard braking and severe
handling maneuvers.
●Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
Remember that when your tires have lost air
pressure, your vehicle’s handling capability is
reduced, particularly during severe maneuvers.
TO PROLONG TIRE LIFE DURING A SYSTEM ALERT
The DSST tire can be driven at low or zero air pressure
(refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for the limita-
tions). However, the tire may have to be replaced if
driven under such applications. To help prolong the life
of a tire operating under low-inflation conditions, drive
at a speed as far below 50 mph (80 km/h) as possible.
Also, drive the shortest distance possible before obtain-
ing tire service. Taking these precautions will increase
the chance that your tire will be repairable.
SERVICE AFTER A SYSTEM ALERT
To obtain service after an alert, from the tire pressure
monitoring system, contact your authorized Dunlop
DSST service facility. Trained service personnel will in-
spect your tires to determine if they are in need of repair
or replacement.
To locate your nearest authorized Dunlop DSST service
facility, call 1-800-786-3528.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Because of the unique characteristics of Dunlop
DSST tires, the wheels on which they are mounted
and your vehicle’s tire pressure monitoring system,
all tire service work other than routine inflation
maintenance and external inspection must be per-
formed by service personnel at an authorized Dun-
lop DSST service facility.
Do not attempt to mount or dismount extended mo-
bility tires yourself; serious injury or death could
result. Only specially trained persons should mount,
dismount and repair DSST tires.
While most tire maintenance must be performed by an
authorized Dunlop DSST service facility, as noted
above, there are a few basictire care items you can and
should perform yourself.These are described below.
TIRE INFLATION
Underinflation is the leading cause of tire failure. It
reduces tire load capacity and allows excessive sidewall
flexing, resulting in high heat generation. Maintaining
proper inflation pressure is the single most important
thing you can do to promote tire performance and maxi-
mize tread life.
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.
