2WARRANTY COVERAGE AT A GLANCE

LITHIUM-ION BATTERY CAPACITY COVERAGE
In addition to the Lithium-Ion Battery Coverage for
defects in materials or workmanship, the Lithium-
Ion battery is also warranted against capacity loss
below nine bars of capacity as shown on the vehi-
cle’s battery capacity level gauge for a period of
60 months or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first.
This warranty covers any repairs needed to return
battery capacity to a level of nine remaining bars
on the vehicle’s battery capacity level gauge. If
possible, the Lithium-Ion battery components will
be repaired or replaced, and the original Lithium-
Ion battery will be returned to the vehicle. If nec-
essary, the Lithium-Ion battery will be replaced
with either a new or remanufactured Lithium-Ion
battery. Any repair or replacement made under this
Lithium-Ion Battery Capacity Coverage may not
return your Lithium-Ion battery to an “as new”
condition with all 12 battery capacity bars, but it
will provide the vehicle with a capacity level of nine
bars or more on the battery capacity level gauge.
This Lithium-Ion Battery Capacity Coverage is
subject to the exclusions listed under the heading
“WHAT IS NOT COVERED.”
CORROSION COVERAGE (PERFORATION
FROM CORROSION)
Any body sheet metal panel supplied by Nissan
found to have developed perforation (rust-
through) due to corrosion in normal use is covered
for 60 months, regardless of mileage, subject to
the exclusions listed under the heading “WHAT IS
NOT COVERED”. No additional rust proofing ap- plications are required. Perforation is a condition
in which any body sheet metal panel has corroded
from one surface through to another.
TOWING COVERAGE
If your vehicle is inoperative due to the failure of a
warranted part, during any of the New Vehicle
Limited warranties, including Emission and Seat-
belt warranties, towing service to the nearest au-
thorized Nissan LEAF certified dealer is covered.
Note: For additional information on towing please
see Roadside Assistance.
ADJUSTMENT COVERAGEService adjustments not usually associated with
the replacement of parts, such as wheel align-
ment, are covered only during the first 12 months
or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.
REFRIGERANT RECHARGE ONLY COVERAGERefrigerant recharge not associated with the re-
pair or replacement of a warranted part is covered
only during the first 12 months, regardless of the
mileage.
NO CHARGE
Warranty repairs will be made at no charge for parts
and/or labor (except for tires, in which case you may pay
certain charges as noted above or as described in the
applicable tire warranty found later in this booklet) . Any
needed parts replacement will be made using Genuine
Nissan or Nissan approved new or remanufactured
parts. Nissan reserves the right to make changes at any
time, without notice, to production and service parts in
their specifications, colors, and materials, including those used in connection with warranty repairs. For this
reason, when approved by Nissan and at Nissan’s dis-
cretion, functionally equivalent replacement parts may
be used that do not exactly match the original produc-
tion part.
