likely to result in denial of warranty coverage.
Evidence of the performance of the required mainte-
nance should be kept and presented as proof of such
maintenance in connection with related warranty re-
pairs. To assist you in maintaining appropriate records,
the maintenance log located in your NISSAN LEAF
SERVICE & MAINTENANCE GUIDE can be used along
with supporting repair invoices, receipts and other such

SALVAGE TITLE
This limited warranty does not apply to any vehicle, and
is rendered void if the vehicle is (or ever has been)
issued a “salvage” or similar title under any state’s law;
or has ever been determined to be a “total loss” or

exceeded the actual cash value of the vehicle. LITHIUM-ION BATTERY
This warranty does not cover damage or failures result-
ing from or caused by:
Exposing a vehicle to ambient temperatures above
120F (49C) for over 24 hours.
Storing a vehicle in temperatures below -13F (-25C)
for over seven days.
Leaving your vehicle for over 14 days where the
lithium-ion battery reaches a zero or near zero state
of charge.
Physically damaging the lithium-ion battery or inten-
tionally attempting to reduce the life of the lithium-ion
battery.
Exposing the lithium-ion battery to contact with a
direct flame.
Immersing any portion of the lithium-ion battery in
water or fluids.
Opening the lithium-ion battery enclosure or having
it serviced by someone other than a Nissan LEAF

Neglecting to follow correct charging procedures.Use of incompatible charging devices.Consequential damage caused by the failure to re-
pair an existing problem.
GRADUAL CAPACITY LOSS
The Lithium-ion battery (EV battery) , like all lithium-ion
batteries, will experience gradual capacity loss with time
and use. Loss of battery capacity due to or resulting from
gradual capacity loss is NOT covered under this warranty
beyond the terms and limits specified in the LITHIUM-ION
BATTERY CAPACITY COVERAGE above. See your
OWNER’S MANUAL for important tips on how to maxi-
mize the life and capacity of the “Lithium-ion battery.”

2013 NEW ELECTRIC VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY 9

SPEED SYMBOLS -are shown on the sidewall of
some tires. The following table shows the maximum
speed corresponding to the symbol.
SPEED RATINGS
†Speed Speed Maximum Rating mph km/Hr M 81 130
N 87 140
P 93 150
Q 99 160
R 106 170
S 112 180
T 118 190
H 130 210
V* 149 240
Z** 149 240
*Some V (or VR) rated tires may have a speed
capacity of greater than 149 mph (240 km/h).
Consult your tire manufacturer for maximum speed
ratings if your vehicle capability exceeds this speed.
**Z (or ZR) rated tires are designed for use on
cars with maximum speed capabilities in excess
of 149 mph (240 km/h). Consult your tire manufac-
turer for maximum speed capabilities.
†Although a tire may be speed rated, we do not endorse
the operation of any vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful
manner. Speed ratings are based on laboratory tests
which relate to performance on the road, but are not applicable if tires are underinflated, overloaded, worn
out, damaged, altered, improperly repaired, or re-
treaded. Furthermore, tire speed ratings do not imply
that vehicles can be safely driven at the maximum
speed for which the tire is rated, particularly under
adverse road and weather conditions or if the vehicle
has unusual characteristics. Most highway passenger
tires that do not have a speed symbol in the sidewall
have a maximum speed rating of 105 mph. Light truck
highway tires that do not have a speed symbol on the
sidewall of the tire have a maximum speed of 87 mph.
Some light truck tires may have higher maximum
speeds; consult your tire dealer. The speed and other
ratings of retreaded tires are assigned by the retreader
and voids the original manufacturer’s ratings.
IMPORTANT:
In order to maintain the speed capability
of the vehicle, replacement tires must have speed rat-
ings equal to or higher than those fitted as original
equipment (as indicated on the vehicle placard or
OWNER’S MANUAL) . If tires with lower speed ratings
are fitted, the speed capability of the vehicle will be
lowered to the maximum speed capability of the re-
placement tire as indicated on the above table.
Remember...High speed driving can be dangerous and
may be damaging to your tires.
And...When driving at highway speeds, correct inflation
pressure is especially important.
Contact the manufacturer of your tires for their position
and assistance on the repair of speed-rated tires. When
you are replacing tires that have a speed rating, you
must replace with tires of the same or higher speed
rating if the speed capability of the vehicle is to be
maintained.
VISUAL INSPECTION
INSPECT YOUR TIRES. DO NOT DRIVE ON A
DAMAGED TIRE OR WHEEL. Check your tires fre-
quently for scrapes, bulges, separations, cuts, snags,
cracks, penetrations or excessive localized wear from
hard braking. Also check for abnormal tire wear, particu-
larly on the edges of the tire tread which may be caused
by misalignment or underinflation. Impacts can damage
the inner portion of the tire without being visible on the
outside. If damage can be seen on the tires or wheels, or
if you suspect that possible impact damage may have
occurred, replace with spare at once and have your tire
store or dealer inspect your tires immediately. Use of a
damaged tire could result in tire destruction. When
inspecting your tires, including the spare, check your air
pressures. If your pressure check indicates that one of
your tires has lost pressure of two pounds or more, look
for signs of penetrations, valve leakage, or wheel dam-
age that may account for the air loss.
All tires will wear out faster when subjected to high
speeds as well as hard cornering, rapid starts, sudden
stops, frequent driving on roads which are in poor
condition, and off-road use. Roads with holes and rocks
or other objects can damage tires and cause misalign-
ment of your vehicle. When you drive on such roads,
drive on them carefully and slowly, and before driving
again at normal or highway speeds, examine your tires
for any damage, such as cuts, bulges, penetrations,
unusual wear patterns, etc.
TREAD WEAR INDICATORS (WEAR BARS): Tires
contain Tread Wear Indicators (Wear Bars) in the
grooves of the tire tread which show up when only
2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread is remaining.
