The BBB will, in most cases, send you a fi nal decision within
forty (40) days (plus 7 if you have not contacted the proper
person from the dealership or Nissan) unless you delay the
process. If you accept the decision, it will be legally binding
on you and Nissan. If you do not accept the decision, it will
not be legally binding on you or Nissan. (However in some
states, if the decision is not accepted, it may be introduced
either by you or by Nissan, as evidence in any potentially
related court action.)
BBB AUTO LINE is an informal dispute settlement mechanism
operated to comply with applicable Federal law and regulations.
In states where BBB AUTO LINE is available, you are required to
use BBB AUTO LINE before exercising rights or seeking remedies
under Title I of the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15
U.S.C. §2301, et. seq. If you choose to seek remedies other than
those created by Title I of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, (for
example, under state law) , that Federal Act does not require you
to fi rst use BBB AUTO LINE. The program is still available to you,
however, and may be of considerable assistance. Some states specify
that informal dispute settlement mechanisms such as BBB AUTO
LINE must be used before you may use state-operated complaint
resolution processes, before you may fi le a lawsuit under state
law, and/or before you may have certain other rights or remedies
available under state law. In accordance with those states' laws,
Nissan requires the prior use of BBB AUTO LINE in good faith
before you resort to such other processes, fi le a lawsuit, or seek
other remedies provided by state law. Please see the "2008 Nissan
Warranty Information Booklet & 2008 Nissan Owner's Manual" for
additional information.
BBB AUTO LINE may not be available in all states. We, Nissan,
would be pleased to provide you with information about the
availability of BBB AUTO LINE in your state, or call the BBB
AUTO LINE number listed above.
For additional information on the Auto Line program, please
refer to the information on your state in the Supplement to
Nissan Warranty Information Booklet.

STEP 3:
In the event that you believe Nissan has been unable to
satisfactorily address the issue with your vehicle, a special
automotive complaint resolution program called BBB AUTO
LINE is available to you. The BBB AUTO LINE program is
independently operated by the Council of Better Business
Bureaus, Inc. (BBB) .
For information about the BBB AUTO LINE in your area,
please call us (Nissan) at the same toll free number (1-
800-NISSAN-1) . We will be happy to provide you with
information about BBB AUTO LINE. Or, you may contact
the BBB directly at:
BBB Auto Line
Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc.
4200 Wilson Blvd.
Arlington, VA 22203
1 (800) 955-5100
If you call the BBB, its staff will take down details of
your complaint by telephone. They will ask for the same
information as described in Step 2.
The BBB AUTO LINE program consists of two parts,
mediation and arbitration. The BBB will attempt to
assist you to resolve the problem during mediation. If
a satisfactory resolution has not been achieved during
mediation, you will have the opportunity to personally
present your case before an impartial arbitrator or three-
person panel. The arbitrator(s) will make a decision after
the arbitration hearing.NISSAN CARES...

WHAT IS COVERED?
Nissan* warrants your Genuine Nissan Replacement
Battery as described below except as stated under "What
is not covered?"
This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship.
HOW LONG IS THE WARRANTY AND WHAT WILL
NISSAN DO
Nissan will replace your battery without charge if it becomes
unserviceable within the fi rst 24 months of service.
If the battery becomes unserviceable after 24 months of
use, Nissan will provide a replacement battery at a reduced
price, charging only for the portion of the life of the battery
actually used. This is called a "pro-rata adjustment". Nissan
will pay for all labor charges in replacing the battery if it was
originally installed by an authorized Nissan dealer.
This warranty and the "pro-rata adjustment" end 84 months
after the date of the battery's purchase or installation,
whichever is earlier.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED?
This warranty does not cover:
1. Damage or failure resulting from: • Accident, theft, fi re or freezing.
• Misuse of the battery or vehicle in which it is installed, including the use in applications for
which the battery was not designed. Proper use
is described in the vehicles Owner's Manual.
• Improper installation or battery charging.
• Vehicle electrical malfunctions not covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.• Modifi cation or improper repair of the vehicle or a part of the vehicle.
• Use of parts not equivalent in quality or design to parts supplied by Nissan.
• Environmental conditions, including, but not limited to fl ood, and salt spray or salt water.
2. Normal maintenance service and recharging of discharged batteries.
3. Batteries in service more than 84 months.
4. Salvage Title. This warranty does not cover damage, failure, or corrosion to any Genuine Nissan battery
installed in the vehicle, if the vehicle is issued a "salvage
" or similar title under any state's law, and this warranty
is rendered void for any battery installed in a vehicle
prior to the vehicle being issued a "salvage" or similar
title unless state law expressly states otherwise. (This
exclusion does not extend to a new Genuine Nissan
battery installed in the vehicle after the issuance of a
"salvage" or similar title) .
WHAT YOU MUST DO
In order to obtain warranty service, you must deliver the war-
ranted battery or the vehicle in which the battery is installed
to an authorized Nissan dealer in the U.S. or Canada at your
expense, with proof of purchase (parts invoice or service
repair order from an authorized Infi niti dealer) . The names
and addresses of authorized Nissan dealers are listed in
telephone directories or www.NissanUSA.com
If the "pro-rata adjustment" applies, you must pay for the
portion of the 84 month warrantable life that you actually
used. The amount you pay is computed in two steps.
First, the customer pay percentage is determined from
the chart shown below based upon the months of actual
battery service. Months Customer Pay
In Service Percentage
0-24 0%
25-32 25%
33-50 50%
51-84 75%
Second, the current suggested retail price of the new battery
is multiplied by the customer pay percentage. For example,
should the battery fail after 40 months of service you would
pay 50% of the suggested retail price of the new battery.
You must also pay for the labor charge to remove and
replace the battery if it was not originally installed in your
vehicle by an authorized Nissan Dealer.
