70 REPLACEMENT BATTERY LIMITED WARRANTY1

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 comprehensive
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 mil-
lion 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 systems in the United States.
Nissan North America, Inc., has a total of 11 Parts
Distribution Centers (PDCs) . There are 9 Dealer facing
PDCs. These facing PDCs stock the fastest moving
part numbers. The plan is to stock enough part numbers
to fill 97% of the Dealer order lines from these facing
PDCs. Nissan’s PDC in Memphis Tennessee is the Low
Volume Center (LVC) which stocks the remaining parts
to fill the remaining 3% of the Dealer order lines. This
LVC services all Nissan dealers nationally. The NissanParts Redistribution Center in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee,
processes North American supplier receipts and expe-
dites high priority back ordered parts direct to dealers.
All Nissan parts distribution facilities are linked via a
computer system which searches and fills orders to
ensure coordinated parts ordering, inventory and distri-
bution of available parts.
The Nissan name represents quality and a commitment
to your satisfaction as a valued customer. So when you
select parts or accessories for your Nissan vehicle, see
your Nissan dealer. Only Nissan builds Nissan replace-
ment parts and accessories to exact factory specifica-
tions.
RECOMMENDATION FOR
MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND
REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR YOUR
VEHICLE’S EMISSION SYSTEM
To assure best results and to maintain the original
quality built into the emission control systems, it is
recommended that genuine Nissan parts be used when
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 EQUIVALENT NON-GENUINE NISSAN PARTS
FOR REPLACEMENT 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.
MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF
THE EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES AND SYS-
TEMS MAY BE PERFORMED BY ANY AUTOMO-
TIVE REPAIR ESTABLISHMENT OR INDIVIDUAL
USING ANY EQUIVALENT REPLACEMENT PART.
HOWEVER, UNLESS OTHERWISE REQUIRED 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 re-
quirements outlined in your Owner’s Manual and your
Nissan Service & Maintenance Guide.
GENUINE NISSAN PARTS AND ACCESSORIES

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
installing mud or stone shields behind each wheel.
If your Nissan is damaged due to an accident or
similar cause which destroys the paint and protec-
tive 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 installa-
tion of such non-genuine sheet metal parts.

TAILS.
