California Vehicle Inspection Program
Under this program, if your vehicle fails a “smog check”
test, you may choose to have diagnosis of the failure and
repairs made at a Nissan dealer or at another service
facility. If the inspection failure is the result of a condition
covered by these warranties, you must take your vehicle
to an authorized Nissan dealer for warranty repairs. This
includes parts, labor and diagnosis. You must pay for
diagnostic costs if performed at another service facility
except in the case of emergency repairs as outlined
below.
You must pay for all diagnostic and repair costs of an
inspection failure as required by law if the failure was
caused by conditions not covered by these warranties.
If the failure is the result of a combination of conditions,
you must pay for only the diagnostic and repair costs
related to items not covered by these warranties.
After the 3 year/50,000 mile performance warranty has
passed, a “smog check” test failure due to a defect in a
part which is warranted for 7 years/70,000 miles (ex-
cept for Altima SULEV ONLY which is 8 years/100,000
miles) is covered
5.Emergency Repairs
In case of an emergency, when an authorized Nissan
dealer is not reasonably available, warranty repairs may
be performed at any service facility or by the owner
using any replacement parts. Nissan will reimburse you
for such repairs, including diagnosis, up to the amount
of Nissan’s suggested retail price for parts and labor
charges based on Nissan’s recommended time allow-
ance for the warranty repair and the geographically
appropriate hourly labor rate. A part not being available
or a repair not being complete within 30 days also
constitutes an emergency. You must take the replaced
part and paid receipts to an authorized Nissan dealer for
repayment in such emergency situations.
Maintenance Records
Receipts covering the performance of regular mainte-
nance are not required but should be kept in the event
questions arise concerning maintenance. The receipts
should be transferred to subsequent owners.
If you have Questions
You may obtain further information concerning these
warranties by following the procedure outlined in the
“CUSTOMER CARE” section of this booklet. You may
also contact or report any violations to the Office of
Transportation and Air Quality, Vehicle Compliance Pro-
grams Group, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,

Other Obligations
Nissan does not authorize any person to create for it any
other warranty, obligation or liability in connection with
this vehicle.
Warranty for 2012 vehicles certified for sale in
California may be subject to future governmental
administrative or judicial action. As a result, this
warranty may be changed because Nissan re-
serves the right to, and, will make those changes
required by future law, regulation, or judicial or
administrative action in order to be consistent
with such governmental actions.

normal service on the vehicle on which they were origi-
nally fitted and in accordance with the maintenance
recommendations and safety warnings contained in the
owner’s manual and in the Important Tire Safety Infor-
mation Section of this booklet, are covered by this
limited warranty against defects in workmanship and
material for the life of the original usable tread, or 6 years
from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. At
that time, all warranties, express or implied, are termi-
nated. The usable tread is the original tread down to the
level of the tread wear indicators - 2/32nds of an inch
(1.6mm) of tread remaining. Date of purchase is docu-
mented by new vehicle registration or tire sales invoice.
If no proof of purchase is available, the date of manu-
facture, as molded on the sidewall, will be used. Re-
placement will be made in accordance with the terms
and conditions described underWhat BFGoodrich

WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires which become unserviceable due to:Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact
damage, or puncture, whether repairable or not);
Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance,
or improper repair;
Misapplication, underinflation, overinflation, im-
proper maintenance, racing or other abuse;
Uneven or rapid wear which is caused by mechani-
cal irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel misalign-
ment (a measured tread difference of 2/32nds of an
inch (1.6mm) or more across the tread on the same
tire) resulting in uneven or rapid wear;
Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or
vandalism;
Ozone or weather cracking;Flat spotting caused by improper storage or brake-
lock;

WHAT BFGOODRICH WILL DO
PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition
covered by this limited warranty will be replaced with a
comparable new BFGoodrich tire, free of charge, when
2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) or less of the original tread
is worn, (or 25% or less, whichever is most beneficial to
the user) and within 12 months of the date of purchase.
Mounting and balancing of tires is included. The cost of
any other service charges and applicable taxes are
payable by the user.
When more than 2/32nds of an inch of original tread
has been worn (or more than 25%, whichever is most
beneficial to the user) or after 12 months from date of
purchase, the user must pay the cost of a comparable
new BFGoodrich passenger or light truck replacement
tire on a pro rata basis. The dealer shall determine the
charge by multiplying the percentage of the original
usable tread worn by the current actual selling price at
the adjustment location or the price on the current
BFGoodrich Brand Base Price List, whichever is lower.
This List is based on a predetermined price intended to
fairly represent the actual selling price of the tire. The
cost of mounting, balancing and any other service
charges and applicable taxes are payable by the user.

HIGHWAY AUTO AND LIGHT TRUCK
TIRE REPLACEMENT AND
ADJUSTMENT POLICY (EXCLUDES
GOODYEAR UNISTEELRADIAL LIGHT
TRUCK TIRES)
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
You are eligible for the benefits of this Limited Warranty
if you meet all the following criteria:
You are the owner or authorized agent of the owner
of new Goodyear or Dunlop highway auto or light
truck tires supplied as Original Equipment on your
vehicle.
Your tires bear Department of Transportation pre-
scribed tire identification numbers.
Your tires have been used only on the vehicle on
which they were originally installed according to the
vehicle manufacturer or Goodyear’s recommenda-
tions.
Your tires were purchased on or after March 1,
2009.
Light truck tires are defined as all tires identified with the
“LT” designation in the sidewall stamping plus the
8-19.5 and 8R19.5 sizes which do not carry the “LT”
designation.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW
LONG?
FREE TIRE REPLACEMENT
Any new Goodyear or Dunlop highway radial auto or
radial light truck tire, covered by this policy, removed
from service due to a covered warranty condition during
the first 2/32” of usable treadwear or twelve months
from date of purchase, whichever comes first, will be replaced with a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop
tire at no charge, including mounting and balancing.
(Without proof of purchase the date of manufacture will
be used to determine eligibility.)
ALL OTHER HIGHWAY AUTO OR LIGHT TRUCK
TIRES
Any new Goodyear or Dunlop highway auto or light
truck tire, other than radial auto, radial light truck tires,
removed from service due to a covered warranty condi-
tion during the first 1/32” of usable treadwear will be
replaced with a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop
tire at no charge, including mounting and balancing.
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
Any Goodyear or Dunlop temporary spare tire removed
from service due to a covered warranty condition during
the first 50% of usable treadwear (1/32”) will be re-
placed with a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop
temporary spare tire at no charge, including mounting.
PRORATED ADJUSTMENT
Tires not eligible for free replacement that are removed
from service due to a covered warranty condition will be
replaced with a comparable new Goodyear or Dunlop
tire on a prorated basis for up to six (6) years from the
date of original new tire purchase or when the tread-
wear indicators become visible (worn to 2/32”) , which-
ever occurs first. (Without proof of purchase the date of
manufacture will be used to determine eligibility.)HOW WILL PRORATED CHARGES BE
CALCULATED?
Replacement price will be calculated by multiplying the
tire’s advertised retail selling price at the time of adjust-
ment by the percentage of usable original tread that hasbeen worn off. You pay for mounting and balancing, and
an amount equal to the current Federal Excise Tax (F.E.T.
– U.S. only) any other applicable taxes and government-
mandated charges.
EXAMPLE: If your disabled tire had an original 8/32” of
usable treadwear and is worn to 4/32” usable tread
remaining, you have used 50%, and therefore must pay
50% of the advertised retail selling price of the compa-
rable tire.
In addition, you must pay an amount equal to the full
current Federal Excise Tax (U.S. only) or any other
applicable taxes and government-mandated charges
for the comparable new replacement tire at the time of
adjustment. If the price of the new comparable tire is
$80, the cost to you would be $40 plus F.E.T. (U.S. only)
plus any other applicable taxes and government-
mandated charges.
WHAT IS A COMPARABLE TIRE?
A “comparable” new Goodyear or Dunlop tire will be the
same brand tire and may either be the same line of tire
or, in the event that the tire is not available, the same
brand tire with the same basic construction and quality
with a different sidewall or tread configuration. If a
higher priced tire is accepted as replacement, the dif-
ference in price will be at an additional charge to you.
Any replacement tire provided pursuant to this warranty
will be covered by the Goodyear or Dunlop warranty in
effect at the time of replacement.

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 vehicle manufacturers prohibit
changing tire size. When selecting tires that are differ-
ent 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 clearance 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-

DO MAINTAIN PROPER INFLATION
PRESSURE IN YOUR TIRES
Proper inflation pressure is necessary for optimum tire
performance, safety and fuel economy. To maintain
proper inflation pressure, frequently (at least monthly)
check tires (when they are cool) with an accurate tire
pressure gauge.*
For example, 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 to deter-
mine repairability. To avoid injury, NEVER attempt to
reinflate a tire that has been run severely underinflated.
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) leak-
ing valve core or rubber valve components. These
should be replaced when problems are detected and
whenever tires are replaced.
