2009 NEW VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY
Q If you require warranty service outside of the United
States (see terms under caption “APPLICABILITY”) ,
contact an authorized Nissan dealer in that country.
Note that complaints related to failure to comply with
proper use of the vehicle as described in the applicable
OWNER’S MANUAL (including the lack of availability
or use of proper fuel and fl uids) , or the vehicle’s lack
of compliance with local regulations or environmental
requirements of any country (other than the U.S., the
listed U.S. territories or Canada) are not covered by
this warranty.MAINTENANCE AND RECORDSAs a condition of this warranty, you are responsible for
properly using, maintaining and caring for your vehicle as
outlined in your OWNER’S MANUAL and your NISSAN
SERVICE & MAINTENANCE GUIDE, and maintaining copies of
all maintenance records & receipts for review by Nissan. Failure
to do so is likely to result in the denial of warranty coverage.
Evidence of the performance of the required maintenance
should be kept and presented as proof of such maintenance
in connection with related warranty repairs. To assist you in
maintaining appropriate records, the maintenance log located
in your NISSAN SERVICE & MAINTENANCE GUIDE can be
used along with supporting repair invoices, receipts and other
such records.(Continued on page 6)
(See following page for
"WHAT IS NOT COVERED." )

36HARD BRAKINGYou must inspect your tires after any hard braking
circumstances or after tires have slid on the pavement. This
can cause a fl at 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 centrifugal
force generated by the free spinning tire/wheel assembly
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 confi guration, be sure to check the vehicle
owner’s manual for its recommendations.
Tires which meet the Rubber Manufacturer's Association
(RMA) defi nition 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
recommended 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 fi t 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 ROTATIONTires 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 specifi ed
for front and rear axles. Tires on these vehicles should not
be rotated side to side (unless they are non-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.REPLACING TWO TIRESIf your vehicle was originally equipped with four tires that
were the same size and you are only replacing two of the
four tires, install the new tires on the rear axle. Placing new
tires on the front axle may cause loss of vehicle control
in some driving conditions and cause an accident and
personal injury.
