and/or labor (except for tires, in which case you may pay
certain charges). Any needed parts replacement will be
made using genuine Infiniti or Infiniti approved new or
remanufactured parts approved by Infiniti for use on
Infiniti vehicles. Infiniti reserves the right to make
changes at any time, without notice, to production and
service parts in their specifications, colors, and materi-
als, including those usedin connection with warranty

at Infiniti’s discretion, functionally equivalent replace-
ment parts may be used that do not exactly match the
original production part.

WHAT INFINITI WILL DO
Warranty repairs will be made at no charge for parts
and/or labor, including diagnosis and tax. Any needed
parts replacement will be made using new or remanu-
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 Infiniti 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, Infiniti 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 Infiniti retailers.
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 on page 14 of this booklet. No
warranty claim will be denied solely because a non-
Infiniti part was used for maintenance or repair.CALIFORNIA VEHICLE INSPECTION PROGRAM
Under this program, if your vehicle fails a “smog check”
test, you may choose to have diagnosis of the failure
and repairs made at an Infiniti retailer or at another
service facility. If the inspection failure is the result of a
condition covered by these warranties, you must take
your vehicle to an Infiniti retailer for warranty repairs.
This includes parts, labor and diagnosis. You must pay
for diagnostic costs if performed at another service fa-
cility except in the case of emergency repairs as outlined
below.
You must pay for all diagnostic and repair costs of an
inspection failure as requiredby law if the failure was
caused by conditions not covered by these warranties.
If the failure is the result of a combination of conditions,
you must pay for only the diagnostic and repair costs
related to items not covered by these warranties.
After the 4 years/60,000 mile performance warranty has
passed, a “smog check” test failure due to a defect in a
part which is warranted for 7 years/70,000 miles is
covered.
EMERGENCY REPAIRS
In case of an emergency, when an authorized Infiniti
retailer is not reasonably available, warranty repairs
may be performed at any service facility or by the owner
using any replacement parts. Infiniti will reimburse you
for such repairs, including diagnosis, up to the amount
of Infiniti’s suggested retail price for parts and labor
charges based on Infiniti’s recommended time allow-
ance for the warranty repair and the geographically ap-
propriate hourly labor rate. A part not being available or
a repair not being complete within 30 days also consti-
tutes an emergency. You must take the replaced partand paid receipts to an authorized Infiniti retailer for
repayment in such emergency situations.
MAINTENANCE RECORDS
Receipts covering the performance of regular mainte-
nance are not required but should be kept in the event
questions arise concerning maintenance. The receipts
should be transferred to subsequent owners.

warranties by following the procedure outlined in the

Page 23 of 58
WHAT IS COVERED?
Infiniti2warrants your Genuine Infiniti Replacement
Battery 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 INFINITI DO
If your battery becomes unserviceable within the first
24 months of service Infiniti will replace your battery,
including labor, without charge, providing the battery
was originally installed in your vehicle by an authorized
Infiniti retailer.
If the battery becomes unserviceable after 24 months of
use, Infiniti will provide a replacement battery at a re-
duced price, charging only for the portion of the life of
the battery actually used. This is called a “pro-rata ad-
justment”. You will be responsible for all labor charges
for the replacement of the battery.
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 vehicle’s 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 Infiniti or Infiniti.
●Environmental conditions, including, but not
limited to flood, and salt spray or salt water.
2. Normal maintenance service and recharging of dis-
charged batteries.
3. Batteries in service more than 84 months.
4. Salvage Title. This warranty does not cover damage,
failure, or corrosion to any Genuine Infiniti battery
installed in the vehicle, if the vehicle is issued a
“salvage” or similar title unless state law expressly
states otherwise. (This exclusion does not extend
to a new Genuine Infiniti battery installed in the
vehicle after the issuance of a “salvage” or similar
title).
WHATYOUMUSTDO
In order to obtain warranty service, you must deliver the
warranted battery or the vehicle in which the battery is
installed to an authorized Infiniti retailer in the U.S. or
Canada at your expense, with proof of purchase (parts
invoice or service repair order from an authorized
Infiniti retailer). The names and addresses of autho-
rized Infiniti retailers are listed in telephone directories
orInfiniti.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 client pay percentage is determined
from the chart shown below based upon the months of
actual battery service.
Months
In ServiceClient Pay
Percentage
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 theclient 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.

TIRE SERVICE LIFE
Tires are designed and built to provide many thousands
of miles of excellent service. For maximum benefit, tires
must be maintained properly to avoid tire damage that
may result in removal from service before the tread is
worn down to minimum depth.
It is not practical to accurately predict the service life of
any specific tire in chronological time since service con-
ditions vary widely. The serviceability of a tire over time
is a function of the storage and service conditions (in-
flation pressure, load, speed, road hazard injury, etc.) to
which a tire is subjected. Consumers should not rely
solely on the appearance of the tire, but should be
aware of any change in dynamic performance such as
increased air loss, noise or vibration, which could be a
sign to remove the tire. Therefore, it is essential to have
tires, including spares, inspected regularly (at least
monthly) for proper inflation pressure, damage and
treadwear.FOR SERVICE ASSISTANCE OR INFORMATION, FIRST

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL MONITORING
The information contained in this Limited Warranty Bro-
chure applies only to the Original Equipment tires sup-
plied with your vehicle. In order for Goodyear Run-Flat
(Extended Mobility Technology [EMT], RunOnFlat [ROF])
or Dunlop Run-Flat (Dunlop Self- Supporting Technology
[DSST]) tires to obtain the performance criteria stated
within this Limited Warranty, Goodyear or Dunlop Run-
Flat tires must use specific parts, such as a low tire
pressure monitoring system authorized by the Original
Equipment vehicle manufacturer.
RUN-FLAT TIRE FEATURE:
The Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire is a high-
performance tire with a remarkable feature: It can oper-
ate for limited distances with very low or even no infla-
tion pressure (refer to your Vehicle Owner’s Manual for
these limitations). This is an important benefit, espe-
cially if inflation loss occurs at a location where imme-
diately stopping your vehicle could be hazardous.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ALERT
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more informa-
tion on what to do if the tire pressure warning system
activates.

SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU.
TIRE SERVICE LIFE
Tires are designed and built to provide many thousands
of miles of excellent service. For maximum benefit, tires
must be maintained properly to avoid tire damage that
may result in removal from service before the tread is
worn down to minimum depth.
It is not practical to accurately predict the service life of
any specific tire in chronological time since service con-
ditions vary widely. The serviceability of a tire over time
is a function of the storage and service conditions (in-
flation pressure, load, speed, road hazard injury, etc.) to
which a tire is subjected. Consumers should not rely
solely on the appearance of the tire, but should be
aware of any change in dynamic performance such as
increased air loss, noise or vibration, which could be a
sign to remove the tire. Therefore, it is essential to have
tires, including spares, inspected regularly (at least
monthly) for proper inflation pressure, damage and
tread wear.
WARNING
Property damage, serious injury or death may result
from:
●TIRE FAILURE DUE TO UNDERINFLATION/ OVER-
LOADING/MISAPPLICATION.
Follow the vehicle Owner’s Manual or tire placard in
vehicle.
●TIRE FAILURE DUE TO IMPACT DAMAGE/ IMPROPER
MAINTENANCE.
Tires should be inspected regularly by a qualified
technician for signs of damage, such as punctures or
impacts.

GOODYEAR RUN-FLAT TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY35
Page 40 of 58
ELIGIBILITY
You are eligible for the benefits of this limited warranty if
you are the owner or authorized agent of the owner of
new Dunlop Self-Supporting Technology (DSST) tires.
The tires must bear legible Department of Transporta-
tion prescribed tire identification numbers and have
been used only on the vehicle on which they were origi-
nally installed according to the vehicle manufacturer’s
or Dunlop’s recommendations.
COVERAGE
FREE REPLACEMENT
Any new Dunlop Self-Supporting Technology tire re-
moved from service due to a covered warranty condition
or rendered not repairable due to a road hazard injury
during the first 2/32” treadwear or 12 months from date
of purchase, whichever occurs first, will be replaced at
no charge. Mounting and balancing are included. Re-
pairable punctures will also be repaired at no charge
during this period. (Without proof of purchase, date of
manufacture will be used to determine eligibility.)
PRORATED ADJUSTMENT
A tire not eligible for no-charge replacement that is
removed from service due to a covered warranty condi-
tion or rendered not repairable due to a road hazard
injury will be replaced on a prorated basis. Replacement
price will be calculated by multiplying the tire’s adver-
tised Retailer selling price at the time of adjustment by
the percentage of usable original tread that has been
worn off. You pay for mounting, balancing and any other
applicable taxes and government-mandated charges,
and the cost of puncture repair, if applicable.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
A tire has delivered its full original tread life and the
coverage of this warranty ends when the tread wear
indicators become visible, or six (6) years from the date
of original tire manufacture ornew tire purchase date,
whichever occurs first (Without proof of purchase, date
of manufacture will be used to determine eligibility.)
To maintain the maximum speed capability and perfor-
mance of your vehicle, any Dunlop® DSST® tire should
be replaced with another Dunlop DSST tire of identical
size and speed rating. If tires with different speed rat-
ings are installed on a vehicle, they should be installed
with like pairs on the same axle. The speed capability of
the vehicle will become limited to that of the lowest
speed rated tires. It is also recommended that the lower
speed rated tires be placed on the front axle regardless
of which axle is driven to help prevent potential over-
steer.
Any replacement tire provided pursuant to this warranty
will be covered by the Dunlop warranty applicable to
that tire in effect at the time of replacement.
LIMITATIONS
This limited warranty is applicable only in the United
States and Canada. No Representative, Retailer or Ser-
vicing Facility has authority to make any representation,
promise, or agreement on behalf of Goodyear Dunlop
Tire North America Ltd. (GDTNA), except as stated
herein.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY
In addition, this limited warranty does not cover the
following:
●GDTNA does not warrant or give credit in any adjust-
ment transaction for any kind of material added to a
tire (e.g., tire fillers, sealants, balancing substances)
after the tire leaves a factory producing Dunlop tires,
nor will it adjust any tire that has failed as a result of
adding such material.
●Tires submitted for ride disturbance that are worn
beyond the first (1/32”) tread depth or 6 months
from date of new vehicle purchase.
●Tires not serviceable because of deterioration result-
ing from operation at low or zero inflation pressure.
●Irregular wear or damage due to mechanical condition
of the vehicle, improper inflation, overloading, high
speed spin-up, misapplication, misuse, negligence,
racing, use of tire chains, improper mounting or de-
mounting, improper repair, wreck, collision or fire.
●Tires removed from service due to improper repairs.
●Any tire that, after leaving a factory producing Dunlop
tires, has been intentionally altered to change its
appearance (e.g., white inlay on a black tire or re-
grooved).
●Tires with weather-cracking that were purchased
more than four (4) years prior to presentation for
adjustment or, if purchase date cannot be verified,
manufactured more than four (4) years prior to pre-
sentation for adjustment.
●Loss of time, inconvenience, loss of vehicle use, in-
cidental or consequential damages.
