2008 NEW HYBRID VEHICLE LIMITED WARRANTY
1 Nissan indicates Nissan North America, Inc., P.O. Box 685003, Franklin, TN 37068-5003 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 fl uids.
WHO IS THE WARRANTORNissan1 warrants all parts of your 2008 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
(including Alaska and Hawaii) and Canada.
■ This warranty is generally transferable from the original ‘owner other than a Nissan dealer’ (OWNER) to
subsequent 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 fi rst six months after delivery to the original
OWNER: (1) ownership of the vehicle is transferred from
the original OWNER, and (2) the vehicle is registered
outside of the United States.
■ Your Nissan vehicle is manufactured to meet U.S. regulations and environmental requirements. 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
. Subject to the transferability restriction
described above, this warranty applies to a relocated vehicle
which is returned to, and is registered and normally operated
in the United States or Canada, except for conditions due to
the vehicle’s foreign operation, e.g., use of inappropriate fuels
or other fl uids.
LIMITATION OF WARRANTIES AND OTHER WAR-
RANTY TERMS AND STATE LAW RIGHTS
EXTRA EXPENSES - LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES
This warranty does not cover incidental or consequential
damages such as loss of the use of the vehicle, incon-
venience or commercial loss.
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FIT-
NESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE SHALL BE LIMITED
TO THE DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages or limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitations or exclusions may not
apply to you. This warranty gives you specifi c legal rights, and
you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
Nissan does not authorize any person to create for it any other
warranty, obligation or liability in connection with this vehicle.
THE WARRANTY BEGINSThe warranty period begins on the date the vehicle is delivered
to the fi rst retail buyer or put into use, whichever is earlier.
Nissan makes available to you, and you are specifi cally required
by Federal Law to use BBB AUTO LINE [(800) 955-5100] before
exercising rights or seeking remedies under the Federal
Magnuson-
Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. §2301, et. seq. You are not required
to fi rst use BBB AUTO LINE if you seek remedies not created
by Title I of that Federal law, but are required to fi rst use BBB
AUTO LINE if you seek remedies created by state law, including
your state's lemon law, if applicable state law provides for using
a 703 compliant or similar process before fi ling suit. Please refer
to pp. 2-3 of this booklet and the "Supplement to 2008 Nissan
Warranty Information Booklet & 2008 Nissan Owner's Manual"
for additional information.

HARD 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 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 .
