maintenance NISSAN ALTIMA HYBRID 2008 L32A / 4.G Warranty Booklet

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(Altima Hybrid only)
Your Nissan Altima Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) has both
high-voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12-volt
system. Both DC and AC high voltage are very dangerous
and can cause personal injury, severe burns, and electric
shock and even fatal injury.
To avoid personal injury, please follow all caution labels
attached to high-voltage parts. Do not touch or attempt
to remove or replace any high-voltage wiring and
connectors.
If an accident occurs, do not touch any high-voltage
wiring, connectors or parts such as the inverter unit or
high voltage battery assembly.
Do not touch the potassium hydroxide electrolyte that
might spill or leak from the high voltage battery as the
result of an accident. If potassium hydroxide electrolyte
gets on your skin or in your eyes, neutralize it immediately
with a saturated boric acid solution (ratio: 80 grams
boric acid to two liters water.) Seek immediate medical
attention.
If a vehicle fi re occurs, extinguish it with a Class D
powder-type fi re extinguisher. Nissan recommends having maintenance and
repairs for your Altima Hybrid performed by an
authorized Nissan dealership. To locate your
nearest authorized Nissan dealership, contact the
Nissan Consumer Affairs Department at (800) -
NISSAN-1.

3NISSAN’S COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
ASSISTANCE OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY
In our continuing effort to convey our commitment
to service and customer satisfaction, Nissan may
occasionally offer to pay or reimburse for part or all of
the cost of making certain, specifi c repairs beyond or
outside of the terms of the warranty for some specifi c
vehicle models. (Some states refer to such programs as
“adjustment programs”) . In such circumstances Nissan
mails notices to all known registered owners of affected
vehicles. You may additionally inquire of your authorized
Nissan Dealer or of Nissan directly at the number listed
below of the applicability of such programs to your
vehicle.
Please also review the
"Supplement to the
2008 Nissan Warranty
Information Booklet &
2008 Nissan Owner's
Manual" for important
information concerning
consumer rights in your
state.
Nissan may occasionally offer 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 diffi culties with your vehicle
please discuss the situation with your dealer. If your dealer
is unable to assist you, you may call the Nissan Consumer
Affairs Department at 1-800-NISSAN-1 to discuss your
concern. You will need to provide the Model, Model Year,
VIN (Vehicle Identifi cation Number) , mileage, maintenance
history, a detailed explanation of the concern, and why you
believe that Nissan should be responsible for the repair.
Your request will be individually investigated and you will
be informed of Nissan’s decision.

WHO IS COVEREDThe owner of a BFGoodrich Passenger or Light Truck tire
which bears the BFGoodrich name and complete DOT
identifi cation number.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
BFGoodrich Passenger and Light Truck tires, used in normal
service on the vehicle on which they were originally fi tted
and in accordance with the maintenance recommendations
and safety warnings contained in the owner’s manual and
in the Important Tire Safety Information Section of this
booklet, are covered by this 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 fi rst. At that time, all warranties, express or implied,
are terminated. 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 documented by new vehicle registration or tire sales
invoice. If no proof of purchase, coverage will be based
on date of manufacture.
WHAT IS NOT COVEREDTires which become unserviceable due to:
• Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact damage, puncture, whether repairable or not);
• Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance, or improper repair;
• Underinfl ation, overinfl ation, improper maintenance or other abuse;
• Mechanical irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel misalignment resulting in uneven or rapid wear;
• Accident, fi re, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or vandalism;
• Ozone or weather cracking.
WHAT BFGOODRICH WILL DO
PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition
covered by this 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 benefi cial 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 benefi cial
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.
