WARRANTY COVERAGE AT A GLANCE

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.

BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

20DUNLOP PASSENGER TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS?Some states and provinces do not allow the exclusion
or limitation of incidental or consequential damages,
so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to
you. No representative or dealer has authority to make
any representation, promise, or agreement on behalf of
Goodyear Dunlop Tires North America, Ltd. (GDTNA) ,
except as stated herein.
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail in
service or otherwise become unserviceable due to
conditions beyond the control of the manufacturer. Under
no circumstances is this warranty a representation that a
tire failure cannot occur.
This warranty gives you specifi c legal rights, and you may
also have other rights that vary from state to state and in
Canada province to province.
HOW DO YOU OBTAIN AN
ADJUSTMENT?
A. You must present the tire to be adjusted to an authorized Dunlop service facility. Tires replaced on an adjustment
basis become the property of Goodyear Dunlop Tires
North America, Ltd. or Goodyear Canada Inc.
B. You must pay for taxes and any additional services you order at the time of adjustment.
C. You must submit your claim on a GDTNA claim form supplied by an authorized Dunlop service facility. The
form must be fi lled out completely and signed by you,
the owner of the tire presented for adjustment, or your
authorized agent.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDEThe easiest way to help ensure satisfactory mileage and
performance from your Dunlop tires is to give them a simple
but frequent inspection for proper infl ation, even treadwear,
and the presence of any damage.
DO MAINTAIN PROPER INFLATION
PRESSURE IN YOUR TIRES
Proper infl ation pressure is necessary for optimum tire
per-formance, safety and fuel economy. To maintain proper
infl ation pressure, frequently check tires (when they are
cool) with an accurate tire pressure gauge.*
For example, it is diffi cult to tell just by looking at radial
tires whether they are underinfl ated.
Furthermore, when operating a vehicle equipped with
radial tires, it is diffi cult to notice when a tire has gone
fl at or nearly fl at since the “feel” of the vehicle does not
change signifi cantly.
*Evidence of air loss or repeated underinfl ation
always requires expert inspection to determine the
source of leakage and tire removal to determine
repairability. To avoid injury, NEVER attempt to reinfl ate
a tire that has been run severely underinfl ated.
Progressive air loss may result from punctures, cuts, curbing,
impacts or partial bead unseating. Some fi tment causes for
air loss are (1) incomplete bead seating, (2) bead tearing
caused by a machine tool due to insuffi cient lubrication or
improper adjustment, (3) leaking valve core or rubber valve
components. These should be replaced when problems
are detected and whenever tires are replaced.
Always maintain infl ation pressure at the level
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer as shown
on the vehicle placard or in the owner’s manual: Underinfl ation 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 fl exing and increases rolling resistance, resulting in
heat and mechanical damage. Maintaining proper infl ation
pressure is the single most important thing you can do to
ensure tire durability and maximum treadlife.
Overinfl ation increases stiffness, which may deteriorate
ride and generate unwanted vibration. Overinfl ation also
increases the chances of impact damage.
DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLECheck 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.
Never fi t 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 tires is reduced by 10 percent when used on a
light truck, utility vehicle or trailer. Never fi t P-Metric tires to
light trucks that specify LT-type replacement tires.
DON'T SPIN YOUR TIRES EXCESSIVELYAvoid excessive tire spinning when your vehicle is stuck in
snow, ice, mud or sand. The centrifugal forces generated
by a free-spinning tire/wheel assembly may cause sudden
tire explosion resulting in vehicle damage and/or serious

ELIGIBILITYYou are eligible for the benefi ts of this policy if you are the
owner or authorized agent of the owner of new Goodyear
highway auto and light truck tires bearing Department of
Transportation prescribed tire identifi cation numbers, and
if your tires have been used only on the vehicle on which
they were originally installed according to the vehicle
manufacturer’s recommendations.
COVERAGE (REPLACEMENT FREE)Any new Goodyear highway radial auto tire or radial light
truck tire, except Unisteel radial light truck tires, covered
by this policy, that does not deliver satisfactory highway
service due to a workmanship or material related condition
(see Adjustment Policy Limitations) during the fi rst 25% of
usable treadwear, or twelve months from date of purchase,
whichever comes fi rst, will be replaced with a comparable
new Goodyear tire without charge. Mounting and balancing
are included.
Any Goodyear temporary spare tire that does not deliver
satisfactory highway service due to a workmanship or
material related condition during the fi rst 50% of usable
tread depth (1/32 of an inch) will be replaced with a
comparable new Goodyear temporary spare tire without
charge. Mounting is included. After the fi rst 50% of
usable treadwear, you pay only an adjustment charge for
the treadwear received, plus any mounting charge.
COVERAGE (PRORATED ADJUSTMENT)Tires not eligible for no charge adjustment that do not
deliver satisfactory service due to a workmanship or material
related condition will be replaced with comparable new
Goodyear tires on a pro rata basis. The replacement price
will be calculated by multiplying the current Goodyear
“predetermined price for adjustment” or current advertised
price at adjustment location (whichever is lower) by the
percentage of usable original tread that has been worn off at
the time of the adjustment. You pay for mounting, balancing,
and an amount equal to the full current Federal Excise Tax
applicable to the comparable new replacement tire.
The “predetermined price for adjustment,” available at
all Goodyear Auto Service Centers and participating
dealers, fairly represents the actual regular retail selling
price of the comparable tire at the time of adjustment. If
a “predetermined price for adjustment” is not available,
adjustment will be based on the price at which you are
entitled to buy at the time of adjustment.
A tire has delivered its full original tread life and this
warranty ends when the treadwear indicators become
visible, regardless of age or mileage. DEFINITION OF COMPARABLE TIRE
A “comparable” new Goodyear tire may either be the
same line of tire or, in the event the disabled tire is out of
production, the same basic construction and quality with
different sidewall or tread confi guration.
If a higher priced tire is accepted as replacement, the
difference in price will be additional.
Any tire replacement under this warranty will be covered by
the Goodyear warranty in effect at time of replacement.
ADJUSTMENT POLICY LIMITATIONS
This limited warranty is applicable only in the United States
and Canada.
No representative or dealer has authority to make any
representation, promise, or agreement on behalf of
Goodyear, except as stated herein.
The following are not covered by this policy:
• Goodyear does not warrant and will not give credit in
any adjustment transaction for any kind of material added
to the tire after leaving a Goodyear factory, nor will it
adjust any tire which has failed as a result of adding
any such material. (Example: Tire fi llers, sealants, or
balancing substances.)

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:
(1) Tires must be rotated every 7,500 miles or sooner if upon inspection, irregular or erratic tread wear is
beginning to appear. Keep a record of the rotation.
(2) The consumer must maintain the recommended
TOYO TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
(Continued on page 31)

TREAD WEAR INDICATORS (WEAR BARS): Tires
contain Tread Wear Indicators (Wear Bars) in the
grooves of the tire tread which show up when only
2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) of tread is remaining. At
this stage, your tires must be replaced. Tires worn
beyond this stage are dangerous.
HAZARDSObjects in the road that threaten a tire should be safely
avoided. These objects are potholes, glass, metal, rocks,
wood debris and the like. Unavoidable contact should
prompt a thorough tire inspection.
You may not always recall hitting an object that can damage
or injure your tires. If while driving your vehicle experiences
any unusual vibrations, ride disturbance or noise and/or
you suspect that possible damage to the tires or vehicle
has occurred. DO NOT JAM OR LOCK YOUR BRAKES!

Rather reduce your speed and drive with caution until you
can safely pull off the road. Stop and inspect the tires. If
the tire is underinfl ated or damaged, defl ate, remove the
tire and rim assembly and replace it with your spare. If you
cannot detect a cause, have the vehicle towed to the nearest
vehicle or tire dealer to have the vehicle inspected.
REPAIRING, MOUNTING AND
DEMOUNTING OF TIRES
Do not attempt to repair, mount or demount a
tire yourself. Tire changing can be dangerous and
must be done by professionally trained persons using
proper tools and procedures as specifi ed by the Rubber
Manufacturers Association (RMA) . Follow these
mounting recommendations. Your tires should be
mounted on wheels of correct size and type and which are
in good, clean condition. Bent, chipped or rusted wheels
may cause tire damage. The inside of the tire must be free from foreign materials. Have your dealer check the
wheels before mounting new tires.
Mismatched tires
and rims can explode during mounting. Also, mismatched
tires and rims can result in dangerous tire failure on the
road. If a tire is mounted by error on the wrong-sized rim,
do not remount it on the proper rim - scrap it. It may be
damaged internally (which is not externally visible) by being
dangerously stretched and could fail on the highway.
Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires are mounted,
have new valves of the correct type installed. Tubeless tires
must be mounted only on wheels designed for tubeless
tires, i.e., wheels which have safety humps or ledges.
Never perform a temporary repair, use an innertube or
inject sealant as a permanent substitute for a proper
repair. Only qualifi ed persons should repair tires.
Be sure that all your valves have suitable valve caps. This
will keep valve cores clean and clear and guard against
leakage.
REPAIRS - WHENEVER POSSIBLE, SEE A TIRE
DEALER AT ONCE. Some tire manufacturers do not
warrant any inspection or repair process. The repair is
entirely the responsibility of the repairer. Punctures in the
tread of a passenger tire which do not exceed 1/4 of an inch
(6mm) in diameter can usually be repaired by following the
Rubber Manufacturer's Association (RMA) Passenger and
Light Truck Repair procedures. Contact the manufacturer of
your tires for its position and assistance as to the acceptable
location for a proper repair and the repair of speed rated
tires. Do not use plug repairs. They may cause further
damage to the tire. They are not always air tight and
the plug may fail. Do not exceed posted speed limits on
any repaired tire. Certain tire manufacturers speed ratings are voided if the tire is repaired.
Although a tire was properly repaired, internal structural
damage resulting from the puncture may have occurred.

Sometime later the damage may cause the tire to be
removed from service.
If the tire has a puncture in the tread which exceeds 1/4 inch
(6mm) , the tire must be replaced. If any tire has sustained a
puncture, have the tire inspected internally by a tire dealer
for possible damage that may have occurred.
Improper mounting and infl ation procedures can cause an
explosion of the tire/rim assembly. Only specially trained
persons should perform these tasks. Contact your tire store
or dealer for assistance.
CAUTION - Never, under any circumstance,
introduce a fl ammable substance into a tire.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCINGWheel alignment and balancing are important for safety
and maximum mileage from your tires. Check how your
tires are wearing at least once a month. If your tires are
wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tire
wearing faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect
excessive vibration, your vehicle may be out of alignment
or balance. These conditions not only shorten the life of
your tires, but adversely affect the handling characteristics
of your vehicle which could be dangerous. If you detect
irregular wear or vibration, have your alignment and
balance checked immediately. Tires which have been run
underinfl ated will show more wear on the shoulders than
in the center of the tread.
