2006 NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY
1Nissan indicates Nissan North America, Inc., P.O. Box 191, Gardena, California, 90248-0191 which distributes Nissan vehicles in the United States.2 See the Owner’s Manual for information relevant to proper operation of the vehicle, including the recommended fuels and fluids .
WHO IS THE WARRANTORNissan1 warrants all parts of your 2006 Nissan vehicle supplied
by Nissan, except for those listed elsewhere under the caption
“WHAT IS NOT COVERED.”
APPLICABILITY■ This warranty is provided to the original and subsequent
owner(s) of a Nissan vehicle originally distributed by Nissan
which is originally sold by a Nissan authorized Nissan
dealership in the United States, and which is registered in
the U.S. and normally operated in the United States (in-
cluding Alaska and Hawaii), the United States territories
(specifically Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Puerto Rico
and the U.S. Virgin Islands), and Canada.
■ This warranty is generally transferable from the original
‘owner other than a Nissan dealer’ (OWNER) to subse-
quent owners of the vehicle at any time ownership of the
vehicle is transferred, without any action on your part;
except that this warranty is not transferable but is instead
void if
during the first six months after delivery to the
original OWNER: (1) ownership of the vehicle is trans-
ferred from the original OWNER,
and (2) the vehicle is
registered outside of the United States.
■ Your Nissan vehicle is manufactured to meet U.S. regula-
tions and environmental requirements. With the excep-
tion of privately owned vehicles belonging to members of
the U.S. military or employees and officers of the United
States Government stationed abroad, this warranty does
not apply if an otherwise covered vehicle is operated in, or
relocated to, a country other than those listed above
under this caption, except that it continues to apply if the
vehicle is operated in full compliance with its proper use
as described in the applicable OWNER’S MANUAL
2 while
touring outside of the United States, the U.S. territories or
Canada for a period not exceeding sixty (60) consecutive days
or sixty (60) days in any one 12 month period. Subject to the transferability restriction described above, this warranty ap-
plies to a relocated vehicle which is returned to, and is regis-
tered and normally operated in the United States, the U.S.
territories or Canada, except for conditions due to the vehicle’s
foreign operation, e.g., use of inappropriate fuels or other
fluids.

HARD BRAKINGYou must inspect your tires after any hard braking circum-
stances or after tires have slid on the pavement. This can
cause a flat spot in a section of the tire tread.
TIRE SPINNINGNever spin your tires above a speedometer reading of 35
mph (55 km/h) if your vehicle becomes stuck. The centrifu-
gal force generated by the free spinning tire/wheel assem-
bly may cause a sudden tire explosion, resulting in vehicle
damage and/or serious personal injury or death. Never
allow anyone to stand near or behind a tire spinning at high
speed while attempting to push a vehicle that is stuck.
When in mud, sand, snow, ice or other slippery conditions,
do not indulge in excessive wheel spin. In such conditions,
with automatic transmission vehicles, by accelerating the
engine excessively, it is possible to spin one of the drive
tires beyond its speed capability. This is also true when
balancing a drive tire/wheel assembly using the engine of
the vehicle to spin the wheel.
TIRE TREADTires must be replaced when the depth of the tread
reaches 2/32 inch (1.6 mm). Tires are manufactured with
tread wear indicators molded into the tire grooves which
indicate tread wearout. As tires approximate 2/32 inch (1.6
mm) wearout, the tread gauge becomes thinner and more
vulnerable to the effects of road hazards. Also, worn tires
are more subject to hydroplaning, which can cause loss of
control. Therefore, visual tire inspection becomes more
crucial as the tires wear out.
WORN TIRESNever drive on worn tires. Tires should be replaced by
trained personnel when 2/32nds of an inch tread depth
remains, as indicated by the tread wear indicators molded
into the tread grooves. In most states, it is illegal to drive
with less than 2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining.
TIRE MIXINGFor best performance select tires similar in size and load
rating to the original equipment tires. It is recommended
that the same size and type of tire be used on all four wheel
positions. In certain tires, casing ply material and ply
construction may vary as indicated on the sidewall of the
tire. When changing or replacing tires, it is preferred that
all four tires are the same construction type (i.e., High
Performance, All Season, Mud & Snow) and construction
(Radial or Bias Ply). Before mixing tires of different types on
a vehicle in any configuration, be sure to check the vehicle
owner’s manual for its recommendations.
Tires which meet the Rubber Manufacturer's Association
(RMA) definition of mud and snow tires are marked M/S,
M+S, M&S. On such tires, this designation is molded into
the sidewall. Tires without this notation are not recom-
mended for mud and/or snow driving.
If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select tires
equivalent in size and load rating to the original equipment
tires. Always fit performance snow tires in sets of four (4)
for optimum mud & snow traction and maintenance of
vehicle handling characteristics. If you do not, it may
adversely affect the safety and handling of your vehicle. It
is also important to check the vehicle owner’s manual
before mixing or matching tires on 4-wheel drive vehicles
as this may require special precautions. Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for more information
on tire replacement precautions.
TIRE ROTATION
Tires on your Nissan vehicle should be rotated every
7,500 miles or as irregular wear develops. If irregular
wear becomes apparent or if the wear rate on the tires
is perceptibly uneven, the tires should be rotated in
such a way to alleviate the problem. Check your vehicle
for any mechanical problems and correct if necessary.
Any rotation pattern or procedure may be followed
including those indicated in the Owner’s Manual. Some
tires have arrows on the sidewall showing the direction
in which the tire should turn. When rotating this type of
tire, care must be taken to maintain the proper turning
direction as indicated by the arrows.
Some vehicles
have different tire sizes specified for front and rear
axles. Tires on these vehicles should not be rotated
side to side (unless they are directional). Where a
temporary type spare tire is available, it should not be
included in the tire rotation schedule. Such tires are
intended for temporary use only. Whenever only two
tires are replaced, the new tires should be put on the
rear axle of vehicles equipped with the same size tire
on all four wheel positions .
