NISSAN ALTIMA 2006 L31 / 3.G Warranty Booklet

36
HARD BRAKINGYou must inspect your tires after any hard braking circum-
stances or after tires have slid on the pavement. This can
cause a flat spot in a section of the tire tread.
TIRE SPINNINGNever spin your tires above a speedometer reading of 35
mph (55 km/h) if your vehicle becomes stuck. The centrifu-
gal force generated by the free spinning tire/wheel assem-
bly may cause a sudden tire explosion, resulting in vehicle
damage and/or serious personal injury or death. Never
allow anyone to stand near or behind a tire spinning at high
speed while attempting to push a vehicle that is stuck.
When in mud, sand, snow, ice or other slippery conditions,
do not indulge in excessive wheel spin. In such conditions,
with automatic transmission vehicles, by accelerating the
engine excessively, it is possible to spin one of the drive
tires beyond its speed capability. This is also true when
balancing a drive tire/wheel assembly using the engine of
the vehicle to spin the wheel.
TIRE TREADTires must be replaced when the depth of the tread
reaches 2/32 inch (1.6 mm). Tires are manufactured with
tread wear indicators molded into the tire grooves which
indicate tread wearout. As tires approximate 2/32 inch (1.6
mm) wearout, the tread gauge becomes thinner and more
vulnerable to the effects of road hazards. Also, worn tires
are more subject to hydroplaning, which can cause loss of
control. Therefore, visual tire inspection becomes more
crucial as the tires wear out.
WORN TIRESNever drive on worn tires. Tires should be replaced by
trained personnel when 2/32nds of an inch tread depth
remains, as indicated by the tread wear indicators molded
into the tread grooves. In most states, it is illegal to drive
with less than 2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining.
TIRE MIXINGFor best performance select tires similar in size and load
rating to the original equipment tires. It is recommended
that the same size and type of tire be used on all four wheel
positions. In certain tires, casing ply material and ply
construction may vary as indicated on the sidewall of the
tire. When changing or replacing tires, it is preferred that
all four tires are the same construction type (i.e., High
Performance, All Season, Mud & Snow) and construction
(Radial or Bias Ply). Before mixing tires of different types on
a vehicle in any configuration, be sure to check the vehicle
owner’s manual for its recommendations.
Tires which meet the Rubber Manufacturer's Association
(RMA) definition of mud and snow tires are marked M/S,
M+S, M&S. On such tires, this designation is molded into
the sidewall. Tires without this notation are not recom-
mended for mud and/or snow driving.
If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select tires
equivalent in size and load rating to the original equipment
tires. Always fit performance snow tires in sets of four (4)
for optimum mud & snow traction and maintenance of
vehicle handling characteristics. If you do not, it may
adversely affect the safety and handling of your vehicle. It
is also important to check the vehicle owner’s manual
before mixing or matching tires on 4-wheel drive vehicles
as this may require special precautions. Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for more information
on tire replacement precautions.
TIRE ROTATION
Tires on your Nissan vehicle should be rotated every
7,500 miles or as irregular wear develops. If irregular
wear becomes apparent or if the wear rate on the tires
is perceptibly uneven, the tires should be rotated in
such a way to alleviate the problem. Check your vehicle
for any mechanical problems and correct if necessary.
Any rotation pattern or procedure may be followed
including those indicated in the Owner’s Manual. Some
tires have arrows on the sidewall showing the direction
in which the tire should turn. When rotating this type of
tire, care must be taken to maintain the proper turning
direction as indicated by the arrows.
Some vehicles
have different tire sizes specified for front and rear
axles. Tires on these vehicles should not be rotated
side to side (unless they are directional). Where a
temporary type spare tire is available, it should not be
included in the tire rotation schedule. Such tires are
intended for temporary use only. Whenever only two
tires are replaced, the new tires should be put on the
rear axle of vehicles equipped with the same size tire
on all four wheel positions .

TRAILER TOWINGIf you anticipate towing a trailer, you should see a tire dealer
for advice concerning the correct size of tire and pressure.
Tire size and pressure will depend on the type and size of
the trailer and hitch utilized, but in no case must the
maximum cold inflation pressure or the tire load rating be
exceeded. Check the tire decal and your Owner’s Manual
for further recommendations on trailer towing.
TIRE ALTERATIONSDo not perform any alterations on your tires. Alterations
may prevent proper performance, leading to tire damage,
which can result in an accident. Tires which become
unserviceable due to alterations such as truing, whitewall
inlays, addition of balancing or sealant liquids, may be
excluded from warranty coverage. Consult your tire war-
ranty.
HIGH PRESSURE TEMPORARY SPARE
TIRES
1) The high-pressure spare tire in your Nissan vehicle is designed for temporary use only and must not be
used continually as a regular tire. The standard tire
should be repaired and/or replaced as soon as
possible.
2) Avoid driving over obstacles that may damage the tire through impact or cutting, such as potholes, glass,
metal, etc. 3) Speed must not exceed 50MPH (80km/h) for non-
speed-rated temporary spare tires.
4) Temporary spare tires have a limited treadlife which can vary depending on road conditions and your
driving habits. The spare tire should be returned to the
trunk as soon as the standard tire can be repaired or
replaced.
5) Because the high-pressure spare tire was specifically designed for your car, it should not be used on any
other vehicle.
6) Do not use snow chains on your high-pressure spare. This could cause damage to your vehicle.
7) Check the tire’s cold inflation pressure monthly and
maintain at 60psi (4.2kg/cm
2) even when not in use.
8) The high-pressure spare tire should not be used with any other rim nor should standard tires, wheel covers,
or trim rings be used on the high-pressure spare tire
rim which was originally installed.
9) When the tread wear indicator appears on the tire,
replace it only with the same type spare tire.
10) Do not enter an automatic carwash with a temporary spare tire fitted.
11) Do not make a sharp turn or apply the brakes suddenly when driving on a high-pressure tempo-
rary spare.
Note: When using any temporary type spare tire, be
sure to follow the vehicle Owner’s Manual
instructions.
TIRE STORAGEAll tires should be stored in a cool dry place indoors so that
there is no danger of water collecting inside them.
When tires are stored they should be stored in a cool place
away from sources of heat and ozone such as hot pipes and
electric generators. Be sure that surfaces on which tires
are stored are clean and free from grease, gasoline or other
substances which could deteriorate the rubber. (Tires
exposed to these materials during storage or driving could
be subject to sudden failure.)
To Avoid Damage to your Tires and
Possible Accident:
• Check tire pressure at least once a month when
tires are cold and before long trips.
• Do not underinflate/overinflate.
• Do not overload.
• Drive at moderate speeds, observe legal limits.
• Avoid driving over potholes, obstacles, curbs or
edges of pavement.
• Avoid excessive wheel spinning.
• If you see any damage to a tire, replace with spare
and see the tire manufacturer’s dealer or your
Nissan dealership.

WHAT IS COVERED?
Nissan * Warrants your Genuine Nissan Replacement
Battert 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
NISSAN DO
Nissan will replace your battery without charge if it
becomes unserviceable within the first 24 months of
service.
If the battery becomes unserviceable after 24 months of
use, Nissan will provide a replacement battery at a
reduced price, charging only for the portion of the life of
the battery actually used. This is called a "pro-rata
adjustment". Nissan will pay for all labor charges in
replacing the battery if it was originally installed by an
authorized Nissan dealer.
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 vehicles 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 Nissan.
• Environmental conditions, including, but not limited to flood, and salt spray or salt water.
2. Normal maintenance service and recharging of discharged batteries.
3. Batteries in service more that 84 months.
4. Salvage Title. This warranty does not cover damage, failure, or corrosion to any Genuine
Nissan battery installed in the vehicle, if the vehicle
is issued a "salvage " or similar title under any
state's law, and this warranty is rendered void for
any battery installed in a vehicle prior to the vehicle
being issued a "salvage" or similar title unless state
law expressly states otherwise. (This exclusion
does not extend to a new Genuine Nissan battery
installed in the vehicle after the issuance of a
"salvage" or similar title).
WHAT YOU MUST DO
In order to obtain warranty service, you must deliver the
warranted battery or the vehicle in which the battery is
installed to an authorized Nissan dealer in the U.S. or
Canada at your expense, with proof of purchase (parts
invoice or service repair order from an authorized Infiniti
dealer). The names and addresses of authorized Nissan
dealers are listed in telephone directories or
www.NissanUSA.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 customer pay percentage is determined
from the chart shown below based upon the months of
actual battery service. Months Customer Pay
In ServicePercentage
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 the customer 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.
You must also pay for the labor charge to remove and
replace the battery if it was not originally installed in your
vehicle by an authortized Nissan Dealer.

Nissan North America, Inc. and your Nissan dealer
realize that there are numerous sources for parts and
accessories in today’s automotive parts aftermarket.
However, Genuine Nissan parts and accessories are
designed and manufactured to meet the same factory
fit, performance and quality specifications of your Nissan
vehicle.
The Parts Department of your Nissan dealership main-
tains a complete inventory of high quality Genuine
Nissan new and remanufactured replacement parts
- parts that are backed by one of the most com-
prehensive parts warranties available in the automotive
industry today.
To ensure that your warranty, maintenance and repair
parts requirements are satisfied as quickly as possible,
Nissan and the Nissan dealer organization maintain
a combined inventory consisting of several hundred
million dollars worth of readily available parts and popular
accessories. In the event a critical part is required
that is not stocked by your local dealership, Nissan’s
ordering system includes a computerized means of
ensuring the quickest possible shipment to Nissan
dealers by the use of expeditious handling and premium
transportation - all of which is supported by one of
the most extensive and efficient parts distribution sys-
tems in the United States.
Two Nissan North America, Inc. Regional Parts Dis-
tribution Centers stock approximately 32,000 different servicing or repairing the systems. THE WARRANTY
OBLIGATIONS ARE NOT DEPENDENT UPON THE
USE OF ANY PARTICULAR BRAND OF REPLACE-
MENT PARTS AND THE OWNER MAY ELECT TO
USE NON-GENUINE NISSAN PARTS FOR REPLACE-
MENT PURPOSES.
The use of replacement parts which are not equivalent
to genuine Nissan parts may reduce the effectiveness
of the emission control system.
Therefore, if it becomes necessary to use other than
genuine Nissan parts, the owner should assure himself
that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer
to be equivalent in quality to genuine Nissan parts.

THE EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES AND SYS-
TEMS MAY BE PERFORMED BY ANY AUTO-
MOTIVE REPAIR ESTABLISHMENT OR INDI-
VIDUAL USING ANY REPLACEMENT PART.
HOWEVER, UNLESS OTHERWISE AUTHORIZED
BY LAW, WARRANTY SERVICE MUST BE PER-
FORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER.
The emission standards may be satisfied by having
the vehicle inspected periodically and by following
the requirements outlined in your OWNER’S MANUAL

to ensure that even the most rarely ordered parts
are available in the quickest possible time. Additionally,
all Nissan parts distribution facilities are linked via
a sophisticated computer search and order system
to ensure coordinated parts ordering, inventory and
distribution. Through this system, you are assured of
maximum parts availability at the time the parts are
needed to keep your Nissan vehicle on the road -
not in the shop.

In order to help protect your vehicle against corrosion,
it is important that you care for your vehicle regularly,
following these suggestions:
■ Wash your vehicle regularly using cold clean water and
a mild vehicle wash soap.
■ If insects, tar or other similar deposits have accumu-
lated on your vehicle, wash it as soon as
possible.
■ If you drive on salted or dust controlled roads, or if you
drive near the ocean, hose off the under carriage at
least once a month.
■ It is important that the drain holes in the lower edges of
the doors and rocker panels be kept clear. ■
If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the paint,
touch them up immediately.
■ If you do much driving on gravel roads, consider install-
ing mud or stone shields behind each wheel.
■ If your Nissan is damaged due to an accident or similar
cause which destroys the paint and protective coating,
have your vehicle repaired as soon as possible. The
cost of such repairs is considered the responsibility of
the owner.
■ This corrosion warranty does not cover non-genuine
sheet metal parts or damage caused by the installation
of such non-genuine sheet metal parts.
