3NISSAN’S COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
ASSISTANCE OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY
In our continuing effort to convey our commitment
to service and customer satisfaction, Nissan may
occasionally offer to pay or reimburse for part or all of
the cost of making certain, specifi c repairs beyond or
outside of the terms of the warranty for some specifi c
vehicle models. (Some states refer to such programs as
“adjustment programs”) . In such circumstances Nissan
mails notices to all known registered owners of affected
vehicles. You may additionally inquire of your authorized
Nissan Dealer or of Nissan directly at the number listed
below of the applicability of such programs to your
vehicle.
Please also review the
"Supplement to the
2008 Nissan Warranty
Information Booklet &
2008 Nissan Owner's
Manual" for important
information concerning
consumer rights in your
state.
Nissan may occasionally offer special assistance that may
pay for part or all of vehicle repairs beyond the expiration
of the limited warranty period on a case by case basis.
Should you experience unusual diffi culties with your vehicle
please discuss the situation with your dealer. If your dealer
is unable to assist you, you may call the Nissan Consumer
Affairs Department at 1-800-NISSAN-1 to discuss your
concern. You will need to provide the Model, Model Year,
VIN (Vehicle Identifi cation Number) , mileage, maintenance
history, a detailed explanation of the concern, and why you
believe that Nissan should be responsible for the repair.
Your request will be individually investigated and you will
be informed of Nissan’s decision.

OWNER’S WARRANTY
RESPONSIBILITIES
As the vehicle owner, you are responsible for the
performance of the required maintenance listed in your
owner’s manual. Nissan recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your vehicle, but Nissan
cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of receipts or for
your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled
maintenance.
You are responsible for presenting your vehicle to a Nissan
dealer as soon as a problem exists. The warranty repairs
should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not
to exceed 30 days.
As the vehicle owner, you should also be aware that Nissan
may deny you warranty coverage if your vehicle or a part
has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance
or unapproved modifi cations.

12CALIFORNIA HYBRID VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTIES
Performance Warranty because you use a certifi ed part
for maintenance or repair.
Maintenance Service and Replacement Parts
Important information concerning maintenance service
and replacement parts is in the Limited Warranty on
Nissan Replacement Parts and Accessories section of this
booklet. No warranty claim will be denied solely because a
non-Nissan 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 a Nissan dealer 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
authorized Nissan dealer 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.
Emergency Repairs
In case of an emergency, when an authorized Nissan
dealer is not reasonably available, warranty repairs may
be performed at any service facility or by the owner using
any replacement parts. Nissan will reimburse you for
such repairs, including diagnosis, up to the amount of
Nissan’s suggested retail price for parts and labor charges
based on Nissan’s recommended time allowance for the
warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly
WHAT IS NOT COVEREDThese warranties do not cover:

not equivalent from an emissions stand point to
the original equipment part.
4. In the case of the Defects Warranty, parts not supplied by Nissan or damage to other parts
caused directly by non-Nissan parts.
5. In the case of the Performance Warranty, costs of determining the cause of a vehicle failing a Cali
fornia “smog check” test if such failure is found
not to be covered.
WHAT YOU MUST DOIn order to obtain warranty service you must deliver the
vehicle to any authorized Nissan dealer 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
NISSAN SERVICE &
MAINTENANCE GUIDE. Nissan recommends that you
retain all receipts covering maintenance on your vehicle,
but Nissan cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of
receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of

DANGERDisregarding any of the safety precautions and
instructions contained in the Owner’s Manual or the
Important Tire Safety Information in this booklet may
result in tire failure or explosion causing serious personal
injury or death.

21
personal injury to you or a bystander. Never exceed 35
mph/60 km/h as indicated on your speedometer. Use a
gentle backward and forward rocking motion to free your
vehicle for continued driving. Never stand near or behind a
tire spinning at high speed as, for example, while attempting
to push a vehicle that is stuck or when an on-the-car spin
balance machine is in use.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR WEARAlways remove tires from service when they reach two
thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32") remaining tread depth.
All new tires have treadwear indicators which appear as
smooth banks in the tread grooves when they wear to
the two thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32") level. Many wet
weather accidents result from skidding on bald or nearly
bald tires. Excessively worn tires are also more susceptible
to penetrations.
SIDEWALL TREATMENTSDunlop sidewalls are specially compounded to resist ozone
cracking or weather-cracking.
Use a mild soap solution to clean sidewalls, white striping
or lettering, and rinse off with plain water. Instruct service
per-sonnel and customers never to apply any other material
to enhance sidewall appearance. These may degrade rubber
and remove inherent ozone resistance.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR DAMAGEFrequent inspection of your tires for signs of damage and
their general condition is important for safety. If you have
any questions, have your tire dealer inspect them. Impacts,
penetrations, cracks, knots, bulges, or air loss always
require tire removal and expert inspection. Never perform
a temporary repair or use an innertube as a substitute for a
proper repair. Only qualifi ed persons should repair tires.
PROPER TIRE REPAIRNOTE : Dunlop does not warrant any inspection or repair
process. The repair is entirely the responsibility of the
repairer and should be made in accordance with established
Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) procedures.
DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT
YOUR OWN TIRES
Serious injury may result from explosion of tire/rim
assembly due to improper mounting procedures. Follow
tire manufacturer’s instructions and match tire diameter
to rim surfaces. Lock assembly on mounting machine or
place in safety cage. STAND BACK and never exceed
40 psi to seat beads. Never use a volatile substance or
a rubber “donut” (also known as a bead expander or “O-
Ring”) to aid bead seating. Only specially trained persons
should mount tires.
DON’T MIX TIRES OF DIFFERENT SIZES
AND TYPES ON THE SAME AXLE
For optimum handling and control, Dunlop recommends
fi tment of four (4) tires of the same type and size unless
otherwise specifi ed by the vehicle manufacturer.
FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL
GUIDELINES:
Fit newest tires on rear axle. If radials and non-radials must
be fi tted to the same vehicle, fi t radials on rear axle. Never
mix radials and non-radials on the same axle. When fi tting
snow tires or all-season tires to performance vehicles,
always fi t in sets for four. Do not fi t tires with different
speed ratings.
Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can
cause instability. When changing tire sizes, always consult
dealer for optimum rim width and carefully check vehicle/tire
clearances.
RETREADED TIRESRetreaded passenger and light truck tires are not warranted
by Dunlop for any reason. Dunlop speed ratings and U.S.
Department of Transportation test compliance certifi cations
are voided for retreaded tires.
DO MAINTAIN VEHICLE SUSPENSION,
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE
AND ROTATE YOUR TIRES
Lack of rotation, worn suspension parts, underinfl ation/over-
infl ation, wheel imbalance, and misalignment can cause
vibration or irregular tire wear. Rotate your tires according
to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations or at
maximum intervals of 6,000 miles/10,000 km.
LIGHTWEIGHT TEMPORARY
SPARE TIRES IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• Limit vehicle speed when using the lightweight temporary spare tire to 50 mph/80 km/h or less.
• Check the infl ation pressure before using and at least weekly. Maintain cold tire pressure in accordance with
that molded on the tire sidewall or found in your vehicle
owner’s manual. When infl ating or adding air to light-
weight temporary spare tire, be very careful, since the
smaller tire volume can gain pressure quickly. Leave
valve core in place and add infl ation air in short bursts.
Check the pressure often with an in-line or hand gauge
until the specifi ed pressure is reached.
• The lightweight temporary spare tire may lower ground clear-ance when used. Reduce speed and avoid driving
over large obstacles or through chuckholes and other
road hazards.
• Check your car owner’s manual for other special clearance precautions when using the lightweight

PASSENGER TIRES AND LIGHT TRUCK
TIRES LIMITED WARRANTY
Toyo Tire (U.S.A.) Corporation warrants Toyo brand
passenger tires and light truck tires mounted on vehicles as
original equipment for adjustable conditions as follows:
1. What is covered by the warranty:
Toyo brand passenger and light truck tires are warranted for adjustable conditions other than those listed under
“What Is Not Covered” for the new original usable
tread down to the treadwear indicators (2/32nd"
tread remaining) or for 60 months from the date of
manufacture, whichever comes fi rst. The DOT serial
number on the sidewall of the tire will be used to
determine date of manufacture. This time limit does
not apply to Toyo temporary spare tires. Presence of
a manufacturing anomaly is not necessarily required to
qualify for adjustment.
(A) When less than 25% of the original usable tread
of a radial tire, or less than 50% of the original
usable tread of a temporary spare tire has been
worn, the tire will be replaced with a new Toyo tire
free of charge, including mounting and balancing.
(Adjustments for ride disturbances or vibration,
which cannot be corrected by balancing are only
adjustable in the fi rst 25% of usable tread.) Service
charges or any applicable taxes are payable by
you.
(B) When more than 25% of the original usable tread
of a radial tire, or more than 50% of the original
usable tread of a temporary spare tire has been worn
the user must pay for the cost of a replacement
tire based on the amount of tread used. This is calculated by dividing the number of 32nds of an
inch used by the original usable tread depth and
multiplying by the actual current dealer selling price.

Service charges or any applicable taxes are payable
by you.
2. What is not covered by the warranty: (A) Mileage is not warranted.
(B) Damage due to road hazards whether repairable or not (such as cuts, snags, bruises, impact or
punctures, improper tire chains) .
(C) Irregular tread wear or rapid tread wear due to failure to rotate the tires at recommended intervals, or from
vehicle misalignment.
(D) Damage resulting from improper repair materials or procedures.
(E) Damage from incorrect mounting or dismounting of the tire, incorrect wheel size, or failure to balance
the tires.
(F) D amage or uneven tread wear from incorrect
infl ation, overloading, fi re, theft, defective mechanical
conditions such as brakes, shocks, rims, wreck or
collision, and willful damage or abuse.
(G) Damage, corrosion, or rubber deterioration due to the use of oil-based chemicals, water-based sealers,
balancing substances, or fl ammable gases.
(H) Ride, balance, or vibration complaints after the fi rst 25% of tread wear.
(I) Minor surface blemishes due to weathering and normal wear and tear which do not affect the
serviceability of the tire. (J) Any tire which has been run to destruction while
fl a t .
(K) Tires used in commercial service.
(L) Claims after 5 years from the date the tire was manufactured.
(M) Tires on vehicles normally operated outside the United States.
(N) Claims made by anyone other than the original retail purchaser of the vehicle.
(O) Tires with the D.O.T. identifi cation number removed or rendered illegible, or branded "used".
(P) Any claim where the tire is not presented and available for Toyo's inspection.
(Q) Any tire for which mileage and tire rotation records are not available or verifi able.
(R) Any tires worn beyond the wear bars (less than 2/32" remaining tread) .
(S) Temporary spare tires used at speeds over 50 miles per hour.
(T) Dealer service charges are not covered for routine or required maintenance of the tires such as alignments
or rotation.
CONSUMER’S OBLIGATION
The consumer is responsible for proper tire care and
maintenance:
