WHO IS THE WARRANTOR
Nissan warrants all parts of your 2013 Nissan vehicle
supplied by Nissan, except for those listed elsewhere
under the caption “WHAT IS NOT COVERED.”
APPLICABILITYThis warranty is provided to the original and subse-
quent owner(s) of a Nissan vehicle originally distrib-
uted by Nissan which is originally sold by a Nissan
authorized Nissan dealership in the United States,
and which is registered in the U.S. and normally
operated in the United States (including Alaska and
Hawaii) , the United States territories (specifically
Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Puerto Rico and
the U.S. Virgin Islands) , and Canada.
This warranty is generally transferable from the origi-
nal ‘owner other than a Nissan dealer’ (OWNER) to
subsequent owners of the vehicle at any time own-
ership of the vehicle is transferred, without any ac-
tion on your part; except that this warranty is not
transferable but is instead VOID if during the first six
months after delivery to the original OWNER: (1)ownership of the vehicle is transferred from the
original OWNER, and(2) the vehicle is registered
outside of the United States.
Your Nissan vehicle is manufactured to meet U.S.
regulations and environmental requirements. With
the exception of privately owned vehicles belonging
to members of the U.S. military or employees and
officers of the United States Government stationed
abroad, this warranty does not apply if an otherwise
covered vehicle is operated in, or relocated to, a
country other than those listed above under this
caption, except that it continues to apply if the ve-
hicle is operated in full compliance with its proper
use as described in the applicable OWNER’S
MANUAL while touring outside of the United States,
the U.S. territories or Canada for a period not ex-
ceeding sixty (60) consecutive days or sixty (60)
days in any one 12 month period. Subject to the
transferability restriction described above, this war-
ranty applies to a relocated vehicle which is returned
to, and is registered and normally operated in the
United States, the U.S. territories or Canada, except
for conditions due to the vehicle’s foreign operation,
e.g., use of inappropriate fuels or other fluids.Nissan makes available to you, and you are specifi-
cally required by Federal Law to use BBB AUTO
LINE [(800) 955-5100] before exercising rights or
seeking remedies under the Federal Magnuson-
Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. §2301, et. seq. You
are not required to first use BBB AUTO LINE if you
seek remedies not created by Title I of that Federal
law, except that you are required to first use BBB
AUTO LINE in good faith if you seek remedies cre-
ated by state law, including your state’s lemon law,
if applicable state law provides for using a 703
compliant or similar process before filing suit.

nia “smog check” test if such failure is found not to
be covered.
WHAT YOU MUST DO
In order to obtain warranty service you must deliver the
vehicle to any authorized Nissan dealer in the United
States at your expense. You are responsible for the
required maintenance on your vehicle as outlined in the
maintenance instructions in your NISSAN SERVICE &
MAINTENANCE GUIDE. Nissan recommends that you
retain all receipts covering maintenance on your vehicle,
but Nissan cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of
receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of
all scheduled maintenance.

factured parts.
OTHER WARRANTY TERMS
Performance Warranty Claims Procedure
You may make a claim under the Performance Warranty
immediately after the failure of a “smog check” test. You
must provide proof of this failure when making your
claim in order to avoid additional “smog check” test
charges.
You will be told whether Nissan will honor your claim
within 30 days of the date you make the claim, unless a
shorter time period is required by law. If your claim is
denied, Nissan will notify you in writing of the reason. If
we do not notify you within this time period, we will
repair your vehicle under this warranty at no cost to you.
The time period for notification will not apply if you
request a delay or a delay is caused by events not under
the control of Nissan dealers. No claim will be denied
under the Performance Warranty because you use a
certified part for maintenance or repair.
Maintenance Service and Replacement Parts
Important information concerning maintenance service
and replacement parts is in the Limited Warranty on
Nissan Replacement Parts and Accessories section of
this booklet. No warranty claim will be denied solely
because a non-Nissan part was used for maintenance
or repair.
(Continued on next page)
16 CALIFORNIA VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTIES1, 2

B. You must pay for taxes and any additional servicesyou order at the time of adjustment plus any addi-
tional service that may be unique to your application,
e.g. Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
C. You must submit your claim on an approved claim form supplied by an authorized Goodyear or Dunlop
service facility. The form must be filled out com-
pletely and signed, where you the owner or your
authorized agent presented the tire for adjustment.
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/ IM-
PROPER 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 AP-
PROVED 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-
spection for proper inflation, even treadwear, and the
presence of any damage.
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.
