INFINITI Q70 HYBRID 2014 Warranty Information Booklet

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 bec ome visible, or six (6) year s from the date
of original tire manufacture or new 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

mounting, improper repair, wreck, collision or fire.
●Tires removed from service due to improper repairs.
●Any tire that, after leavi ng 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.

OWNER’S MANUAL
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL WARNING
The information contained in this Owner’s Manual and
Limited Warranty Brochure applies only to the Original
Equipment tires supplied with your vehicle.
In order for Dunlop®Self-Supporting Technology
(DSST®) tires to obtain the performance criteria stated
within this Owner’s Manual and Limited Warranty, DSST
tires must be used with parts authorized by your Origi-
nal Equipment Vehicle Manufacturer, such as wheels
and tire pressure monitoring systems.
TIRE PRESS URE MONITORING SYSTEM
The Dunlop DSST tire is a high-performance tire with a
remarkable feature: It can operate for limited distances,
with very low or even no inflation pressure (refer to your
vehicle Owner’s Manual for these limitations). This is an
important benefit, especially if inflation loss occurs at a
location where immediately stopping your vehicle could
be hazardous.
Because these tires ride well even without air pressure,
your vehicle is equipped with a system to alert you when
a tire has low or no air pressure.
MONITORING SYSTEM ALERT
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more informa-
tion on what to do if the tire pressure monitoring system
activates.
WARNING
If the tire pressure monitoring system signals an
alert, follow these saf ety precautions to prevent a
loss of vehicle control that could result in serious
personal injury or death:
● Slow your speed as much as possible. Do not ex-
ceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
● Avoid hard cornering, hard braking and severe
handling maneuvers.
● Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
Remember that when your tires have lost air
pressure, your vehicle’s handling capability is
reduced, particularly during severe maneuvers.
TO PROLONG TIRE LIFE DURING A SYSTEM
ALERT
The DSST tire can be driven at low or zero air pressure
(refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for the limita-
tions). However, the tire may have to be replaced if
driven under such applications. To help prolong the life
of a tire operating under low-inflation conditions, drive
at a speed as far below 50 mph (80 km/h) as possible.
Also, drive the shortest distance possible before obtain-
ing tire service. Taking the se precautions will increase
the chance that your tire will be repairable.
SERVICE AFTER A SYSTEM ALERT
To obtain service after an alert, from the tire pressure
monitoring system, contact your authorized Dunlop
DSST service facility. Trained service personnel will in-
spect your tires to determine if they are in need of repair
or replacement.
To locate your nearest authorized Dunlop DSST service
facility, call 1-800-786-3528.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Because of the unique characteristics of Dunlop
DSST tires, the wheels on which they are mounted
and your vehicle’s tire pressure monitoring system,
all tire service work other than routine inflation
maintenance and external inspection must be per-
formed by service personnel at an authorized Dun-
lop DSST service facility.
Do not attempt to mount or dismount extended mo-
bility tires yourself; serious injury or death could
result. Only specially trained persons should mount,
dismount and repair DSST tires.
While most tire maintenance must be performed by an
authorized Dunlop DSST service facility, as noted
above, there are a few basic tire care items you can and
should perform yourself. These are described below.
TIRE INFLATION
Underinflation is the leading cau se of tire failure. It
reduces tire load capacity and allows excessive sidewall
flexing, resulting in high heat generation. Maintaining
proper inflation pressure is the single most important
thing you can do to promote tire performance and maxi-
mize tread life.
Check inflation pressures at least once a month and
before long trips. Use an accurate tire pressure gauge.
Always check pressures when the tires are cold (when
the vehicle has been driven less than one mile). If you
must check inflation when the tires are hot, add 4 psi
(27 kPa) to the recommended cold inflation pressure.
(Continued on next page)
40 DUNLOP RUN-FLAT TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

Consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual or the tire placard
on the driver’s door edge for the recommended inflation
pressure for your tires.
TREADWEAR INSPECTION
Inspect your tires regularly (for example, each time in-
flation is checked) for sufficient depth in the tread
grooves. This can be done visually very quickly because
your tires feature treadwear indicators (raised areas in
the bottoms of the grooves) at several locations around
the tire. When the tread material has worn down to
these indicators, 2/32nds of an inch of tread groove
depth remains and the tire must be replaced. Any signs
of uneven or irregular wear may indicate the need for a
vehicle alignment or vehicle suspension service.
TIRE/WHEEL DAMAGE INSPECTION
Inspect your tires for signs of damage to the tread or
sidewalls. Foreign objects embedded in the tread, torn
or missing chunks of rubber in the trea d or sidewall may
indicate a potential problem.
At the same time, examine your wheels for signs of
damage or abuse. A bent, dented or cracked wheel
should be replaced and the tire mounted on it should be
inspected thoroughly for damage.
TIRE REPAIR
Like any other Dunlop speed-rated high performance
tire, the Dunlop DSST tire may be repaired to correct a
nail-hole puncture in the trea d, but proper materials and
procedures must be used. Contact an authorized Dun-
lop DSST service facility for information on proper re-
pairs.
WARNING
Serious injury or death may result from:
● Tire failure due to underinflation or overloading.
Consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual or the tire
placard on the driver’s door edge for your vehi-
cle’s tire inflation and load specifications.
● Tire failure caused by excessive operation at low
or zero inflation pressure.
● Explosion of the tire/rim assembly due to im-
proper mounting. Only specially trained persons
should mount tires. More than 40 psi (270kPa)
may be required to seat beads. A safety cage and
clip-on extension air hose must be used if more
than 40 psi (270kPa) is needed to seat beads.
WARNING
On slippery surfaces such as snow, mud and ice,
never spin tires in excess of 35 mph (55km/h) as
indicated on the speedometer . Severe damage –
including tire disintegration and axle failure – may
result from excessive wheel spinning, and could
cause serious personal injury.
WARNING
Dunlop DSST tires are designed for use only on cer-
tain original equipment wheels supplied with a
properly operating low tire inflation pressure moni-
toring system. If applied to a vehicle other than a
so-equipped vehicle, the tires may fail when oper-
ated in an underinflated condition, which could re-
sult in loss of vehicle control and possible serious
injury or death. Application of these tires to a ve-
hicle not equipped with specified original equip-
ment wheels and an operational low tire inflation
pressure monitoring system constitutes improper
and unsafe use of this product.

WHO IS COVERED
The original owner of a MichelinPassenger orLight Truck
tire which bears the Michelin name and complete DOT
identification number.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
Michelin Passenge r and Light Truck tires, used in normal
service on the vehicle on which they were originally
fitted and in accordance with the maintenance recom-
mendations and safety warnings contained in the own-
er’s manual and in the Important Tire Safety Informa-
tion 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 first. At that time, all war-
ranties, 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 manufac-
ture.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires 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;
●Underinfation, overinflation, improper maintenance
or other abuse;
●Mechanical irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel
misalignment resulting in uneven or rapid wear;
●Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or
vandalism;
●Ozone or weather cracking.
WHAT MICHELIN 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 compa-
rable new Michelin 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 beneficial 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 or 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
beneficial to the user) or after 12 months from date of
purchase, the user must pay the cost of a comparable
new Michelin passenger or light truck replacement tire
on a pro-rata b asis.The retailer 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 Mi-
chelin Base Price List, whichever is lower. This List is
based on a predetermined price intended to fairly rep-
resent the actual selling price of the tire. The cost of
mounting, balancing and any other service charges or
applicable taxes are payable by the user.
WHAT THE CONSUMER MUST DO
When making a claim under the terms of this warranty,
the consumer must present the tire to an authorized
Michelin Retailer. To locate an Authorized Tire Retailer,
check the yellow pages under “Tire Retailers - Retail.”

issued by Continental Tire North America, Inc. (the “Com-
pany”) and is applicable for Continental/General-brand
original equipment tires and is a promise of replacement
under certain specified conditions. This Policy applies to
tires in normal service displaying adjustable conditions
(see Section 4) and does not require the existence of a
workmanship or material related condition in order to
qualify for adjustment. THIS POLICY IS NOT A WARRANTY
THAT YOUR TIRE WILL NOT FAIL OR BECOME UNSERVICE-
ABLE IF NEGLECTED OR MISTREATED.
1. ELIGIBILITYa. This Policy applies tothe owner ofPassenger Car,

Limited warranty coverage is for a maximum period of
72 months from the date of purchase*, determined by
the new vehicle registration date or new vehicle sales
invoice showing date of purchase. If an eligible Pas
senger or Light Truck or Serva-Spare
tire, used in normal service, becomes unserviceable
from a condition other than those listed under Sec-
tion 4, during or after the time or treadwear periods
shown below, it will be replaced with a comparable
**
new Continental or General brand tire according to (A)
and (B)below.
(A) Free Replacement Policy:
Time* Treadwear
Passenger
Tire First 12 Months or First
2/32nds, (whichever comes
first). Mounting & balancing
included free of charge.
Owner pays all applicable
taxes.
