WHAT YOU MUST DO
In order to obtain warranty service you
must deliver the vehicle to any authorized
Infiniti retailer in the United States at your
expense. You are responsible for the required
maintenance on your vehicle as outlined in
the maintenance instructions in your Owner’s
Manual. Infiniti recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your vehicle,
but Infiniti cannot deny warranty solely for the
lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the
performance of all scheduled maintenance.
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 remanufactured 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 17 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 facility except in the case of
emergency repairs as outlined below.You must pay for all diagnostic and repair costs
of an inspection failure as required by 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 allowance for the warranty
repair and the geographically appropriate
hourly labor rate. A part not being available
or a repair not being complete within 30 days
also constitutes an emergency. You must
take the replaced part and paid receipts to an
authorized Infiniti retailer for repayment in
such emergency situations.

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.
••TIRE FAILURE DUE TO IMPROPER
REPAIRS.
See Rubber Manufacturer’s Association
(RMA) established repair procedures at
www.rma.org and/or go to www.goodyear.
com for information on proper repair
procedures.
••EXPLOSION OF TIRE/RIM ASSEMBLY
DUE TO IMPROPER MOUNTING.
Only specially-trained persons should mount
tires. When mounting tires, use safety cage
and clip-on extension air hose to inflate.
••FAILURE TO MOUNT RADIAL TIRES ON
APPROVED RIMS.
••FAILURE TO DEFLATE SINGLE OR DUAL
ASSEMBLIES COMPLETELY BEFORE
DEMOUNTING.
••TIRE SPINNING.
On slippery surfaces such as snow, mud, ice,
etc., do not spin tires in excess of 35 mph
(55 kph), as indicated on the speedometer.
••EXCESSIVE WHEEL SPINNING.
This can also result in tire disintegration or
axle failure.
WARNING: Vehicle handling, traction, ride
comfort and other performance parameters
may be significantly affected by a change in
tire size or type. Before replacing tires, always
consult and follow the vehicle Owner’s Manual
because some vehicle manufacturers prohibit
changing tire size. When selecting tires that
are different from the original equipment size
make certain: (1) The tires have adequate
load carrying capacity based on the vehicle
placard, (2) The tires have sufficient inflation
pressure to carry the load and (3) There is
proper clearance with no interference points
between the tire and vehicle. The consumer
must be aware to always drive safely and obey
all traffic laws. Avoid sudden, sharp turns or

lane changes. Failure to follow any of these
warnings may result in loss of control of the
vehicle, leading to an accident and serious
injury or death.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
GUIDE
The easiest way to help ensure satisfactory
mileage and performance from your Goodyear
or Dunlop tires is to give them a simple but
frequent (at least monthly) inspection for
proper inflation, even treadwear, and the
presence of any damage.
DO MAINTAIN PROPER INFLATION
PRESSURE IN YOUR TIRES
Proper inflation pressure is necessary for
optimum tire performance, safety and fuel
economy. 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. It is difficult to tell just
by looking at radial tires whether they are
underinflated.*
Furthermore, when operating a vehicle
equipped with radial tires, it is difficult to
notice when a tire has gone flat or nearly flat
since the “feel” of the vehicle does not change
significantly.*Evidence of air loss or repeated underinflation
always requires expert inspection to determine
the source of leakage and tire removal to
determine repairability. To avoid injury, NEVER
attempt to reinflate a tire that has been run
severely underinflated.
Progressive air loss may result from punctures,
cuts, curbing, impacts or partial bead
unseating. Some fitment causes for air loss are
(1) incomplete bead seating, (2) bead tearing
caused by a machine tool due to insufficient
lubrication or improper adjustment, (3) leaking
valve core or rubber valve components should
be replaced when problems are detected and
whenever tires are replaced.
Always maintain inflation pressure at the level
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
as shown on the vehicle placard, vehicle
certification label or in the vehicle Owner’s
Manual:
Underinflation is the leading cause of tire
failure and may result in severe cracking,
component separation or “blowout.” It reduces
tire load capacity, allows excessive sidewall
flexing and increases rolling resistance,
resulting in heat and mechanical damage.
Maintaining proper inflation pressure is the
single most important thing you can do to
promote tire durability and maximize tread life.
Overinflation increases stiffness, which may
deteriorate ride and generate unwanted
vibration. Overinflation also increases the
chances of impact damage.
DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLE
OR TIRES
Check your vehicle Owner’s Manual to
determine the load limits. Overloading your
vehicle places stress on your tires and other
critical vehicle components. Overloading a
vehicle can cause poor handling, increased
fuel consumption and may cause tire failure.
Overloading your tires can result in severe
cracking, component separation or “blowout”.
Never fit your vehicle with new tires that have
less load capacity than shown on the vehicle
tire placard and remember that optimum
rim width is important for proper tire load
distribution and function.
The maximum load capacity stamped on the
sidewalls of P-Metric & European Metric tires
is reduced by 10% when used on a light truck,
utility vehicle or trailer. Never fit P-Metric
or European Metric tires to light trucks that
specify LT-type replacement 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 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.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM
ALERT
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more
information on what to do if the tire pressure
warning system activates.
WARNING
If the tire pressure-monitoring system signals
an alert, follow these safety precautions to
prevent a loss of vehicle control that could
result in serious personal injury or death:
•• Slow your speed. Do not exceed 50 mph
(80 kph).
•• 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 Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire can be
driven at low or zero air pressure (refer to your
vehicle Owner’s Manual for these limitations).
To help prolong the life of a tire operating
under low-inflation conditions, drive at a speed
as far below 50 mph (80 kph) as possible. Also,
drive the shortest distance possible before
obtaining tire service. Taking these precautions
will increase the chance that your tire will be
repairable.
SERVICE AFTER A SYSTEM ALERT
To obtain service after operating under low-
inflation conditions, contact your Goodyear or
Dunlop Run-Flat service facility. Trained service
personnel will inspect your tires to determine
if they are in need of repair or replacement.
To locate the nearest authorized Goodyear or
Dunlop Run-Flat service facility, call 1-800-
GOODYEAR (1-800-466-3932).
WARNING
Because of the unique characteristics of
Run-Flat 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 inspections must be performed by
service personnel at a Goodyear or Dunlop
Run-Flat service facility. Do not attempt to
mount or demount Run-Flat tires yourself;
serious injury or death could result. Only
specially trained persons should mount,
demount and repair Run-Flat tires, and more than 40 psi (270 kPa) 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 need to seat beads.
TIRE REPAIR
Like any other Goodyear or Dunlop speed-
rated, high performance tire, the Goodyear
or Dunlop Run-Flat tire may be repaired to
correct a puncture in the tread, but PROPER
MATERIALS AND PROCEDURES MUST BE
USED. Contact a Goodyear or Dunlop Run-
Flat service facility for information on proper
repairs. For the location of the nearest facility,
call 1-800-GOODYEAR (1-800-466- 3932).
WARNING
Goodyear and Dunlop Run-Flat tires are
designed for use only on certain original
equipment wheels supplied with a properly
operating low tire pressure-monitoring system.
If applied to a vehicle without a properly
operating low tire pressure-monitoring
system, the tires may fail when operated in
an underinflated condition, resulting in loss of
vehicle control and possible serious injury or
death. Application of these tires to a vehicle
not equipped with specified operational low
tire pressure monitoring system constitutes
improper and unsafe use of this product.OPERATIONAL MONITORING The information contained in this Limited
Warranty Brochure applies only to the Original
Equipment tires supplied with your vehicle.
