tires NISSAN LEAF 2014 1.G Warranty Booklet

LITHIUM-ION BATTERY CAPACITY COVERAGEIn 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 vehicle’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” con-
dition 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)

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

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.

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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

proper inflation, overloading, or other conditions
resulting from use or misuse. Tire failure may create
a risk of serious personal injury or property damage.

mend you read and follow all safety information
contained in the Important Tire Safety Information
section contained in this booklet, the tire placard in
the vehicle or the OWNER’S MANUAL.
14BRIDGESTONE FIRESTONE TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

ABOUT THIS WARRANTY
As the original purchaser of a MICHELIN® passenger
or light truck tire, you are covered by all the benefits and
conditions (subject to the maintenance recommenda-
tions and safety warnings) contained in this booklet. To
ensure your understanding of and compliance with the
terms and conditions of this warranty, please read it
carefully. It is essential that you also read and under-
stand the safety and maintenance recommendations for
tires contained in this booklet.
Limited Mileage Warranty:
MICHELIN passenger and light truck tires – replace-
ment and original equipment – are covered by a limited
mileage warranty (hereafter referred to as limited war-
ranty for treadwear) . For the mileage warranty associ-
ated with each tire line, please see your Michelin tire
retailer – or visit us at www.michelinman.com/promise.
Certain conditions and limitations apply. Mileage war-
ranties vary by tire line and certain exclusions may
apply.
SELF-SUPPORTING TIRES
Zero Pressure (ZP)
As the purchaser of a MICHELIN® Self-Supporting
Zero Pressure (ZP) passenger tire, mounted on a ve-
hicle approved for ZP tires, equipped with a properly
operating low tire pressure warning system, you are
covered by this warranty. Please pay close attention to
the Owner’s Manual part of this booklet since it provides
specific safety and maintenance information for your ZP
tires.
MICHELIN® Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires
are part of a very sophisticated system which is de-signed to provide a very simple benefit: Peace of Mind.
With these tires, you can maneuver the vehicle up to
50 miles (80 kilometers) at 55 mph (90 kph) , unless
otherwise specified in your vehicle owner’s manual,
even though the tire has lost all air! That means time to
exit from the highway and get to a place where the tire
can be inspected, replaced, or possibly returned to
service. The distance that can safely be travelled follow-
ing an air loss incident will depend upon the conditions
under which the vehicle is operating, the degree of air
loss, the extent of the damage causing the air loss, the
ambient temperature,the load, and the operating speed
of the vehicle. The fewer miles you travel after an air loss
incident, the greater the likelihood that the tire can be
re-inflated (or, if punctured, repaired) and returned to
service.
Pax System
The MICHELIN® PAX® System is a very sophisticated
system that includes the tire, support ring and gel,
pressure sensing device, and wheel. In the event of a
loss of tire air pressure, with this system you can still
carefully maneuver the vehicle at speeds up to 55 miles
per hour, for a distance of up to 125 miles, even though
a tire has lost all air! That means time to get off the
highway and get to a place where the tire can be
inspected, replaced, or possibly repaired and returned
to service. That’s peace of mind!
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW
LONG
Passenger and Light Truck Tires
MICHELIN® Passenger and Light Truck tires, used in
normal service on the vehicle on which they were origi-nally fitted and in accordance with the maintenance
recommendations and safety warnings contained in the
attached owner’s manual, are covered by this warranty
against defects in workmanship and materials for the life
of the original usable tread, or 6 years from the date of
purchase, whichever occurs first. At that time, all war-
ranties, express or implied, expire. The usable tread is
the original tread down to the level of the tread wear
indicators - 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of tread
remaining. Date of purchase is documented by new
vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If no proof of
purchase is available, coverage will be based on the
date of manufacture.
Replacement will be made in accordance with the terms
and conditions described under “How Replacement
Charges are Calculated”.
Note: your vehicle manufacturer may provide additional
tire warranty coverage over and above what is provided
by Michelin. Consult your vehicle owner’s manual for
further information.
NOTE: Some MICHELIN® Self-Supporting Zero Pres-
sure (ZP) tires can only be mounted on special SH-M
(Symmetric Hump - Modified) wheels. These tires bear
the special SH-M designation, molded into the sidewall
of the tire, next to the ZP designation. DO NOT MOUNT
A TIRE WITH THE SH-M DESIGNATION ON THE
SIDEWALL ON A STANDARD WHEEL. DOING SO
VOIDS THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND COULD
CAUSE THE TIRE TO BECOME UNSERVICEABLE AT
LOW OR ZERO PRESSURE, RESULTING IN SERI-
OUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

MICHELIN TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

Treadwear – Mileage Warranty Coverage for MI-
CHELIN® Passenger and Light Truck Tires
MICHELIN® passenger and light truck tires are cov-
ered by a manufacturer’s limited warranty for treadwear.
For the mileage warranty associated with a specific tire
line, please see your Michelin tire retailer or visit us at
www.michelinman.com/promise. Some vehicles come
from the vehicle manufacturer with “split fitments” –
meaning different size tires on the front and rear axles.
Because these tires cannot be rotated as recom-
mended by Michelin, the mileage warranty on each rear
tire will cover half the number of miles as the standard
mileage warranty for that particular tire design. Michelin
Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) tires have the same
mileage warranty as the standard tire line of which they
are a part, up to but not exceeding 30,000 miles.
DOT-approved competition tires (e.g., MICHELIN® Pi-
lot® Sport Cup tires) are excluded from any mileage
warranty. MICHELIN® Winter tires must be used during
winter months only, defined as a period beginning on or
after September 1st of a given year and ending no later
than April 30th of the following year. MICHELIN winter
tires require documentation of the timing of the installa-
tion and removal of the tires each winter to maintain
coverage under the limited warranty for treadwear.
An important reminder:
No tire manufacturer can guarantee you a certain num-
ber of miles from a given tire. Driving habits, driving
conditions, road conditions, and vehicle maintenance all
play a part in the tread life of a tire. If a tire does not reach
the warranted mileage, and the owner of the tires has
complied with the terms and conditions of the warranty,
Michelin will replace the tires as described under “How
Replacement Charges are calculated”.Temporary Spares
MICHELIN® temporary spare tires are covered by this
warranty for 6 years from the date of purchase or until
the first 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of the original tread
is worn off. Date of purchase is documented by new
vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If no proof of
purchase is available, coverage will be based on date of
manufacture. At that time, all warranties, express or
implied, expire.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires which become unserviceable due to:Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact
damage, or puncture);
Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance,
or improper repair;
Misapplication, improper maintenance, racing, un-
derinflation, overinflation or other abuse;
Uneven or rapid wear which is caused by mechani-
cal irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel misalign-
ment (a measured tread difference of 2/32nds of an
inch (1.6 mm) or more across the tread on the same
tire);
Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or
vandalism;
Use in commercial applications for treadwear; by
this warranty for 6 years;
Flat spotting caused by improper storage or brake-
lock;
The addition of liquid, solid or gaseous materials
other than air, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide (e.g. wa-
terbase sealers or balancing substances) .
Cosmetic ozone or weather cracking;
Use of MICHELIN Self-Supporting Zero Pressure
(AP) tires without a properly operating low air pres-
sure warning system.
HOW REPLACEMENT CHARGES ARE
CALCULATED
Passenger and Light Truck Tires
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition
covered by this workmanship and materials limited war-
ranty will be replaced with a comparable new MI-
CHELIN® tire, free of charge, when 2/32nds of an inch
(1.6 mm) or less of the original tread is worn, (or 25% or
less, whichever is more beneficial to the user) and within
12 months of the date of purchase. Mounting and
balancing of the tire is included.
You pay the cost of any other service charges and
applicable taxes.
When more than 2/32nds of an inch (1.6 mm) of original
tread has been worn (or more than 25%, whichever is
more beneficial to the user) or after 12 months from the
date of purchase, you must pay the cost of a compa-
rable new MICHELIN® passenger or light truck re-
placement tire on a pro rata basis. The retailer will
determine the charge by multiplying the percentage of
the original usable tread worn, by the current selling
price at the adjustment location or the price in the
current MICHELIN® Base Price List, whichever is
lower. This list is based on a predetermined price in-
tended to fairly represent the actual selling price of the
tire.
(Continued on next page)
16 MICHELIN TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

You pay the cost of mounting, balancing and any
other service charges and applicable taxes.
Treadwear
A tire meeting the conditions forpro ratareplacement,
which wears evenly across the tread, down to the tread
wear indicators (2/32nds of an inch tread remaining)
within 6 years of the date of purchase, and before
delivering the warranted miles of service, will be re-
placed with a comparable new MICHELIN® tire based
on mileage received. The participating MICHELIN® tire
retailer will determine the charge by multiplying the
percent of mileage received by the current actual selling
price at the adjustment location or the price of the tire in
the current Michelin Base Price List, whichever is lower.
This list is based on a predetermined price intended to
fairly represent the actual selling price of the tire.Yo u
pay the cost of mounting, balancing and any
other dealer services and applicable taxes.
Tires which wear out evenly before delivering the war-
ranted mileage will be replaced on a pro ratabasis only if:
1You are the original purchaser of the tires, you own
the vehicle on which they were originally installed,
and the tires have been used only on that vehicle;
2The tires have been rotated and inspected by a
participating MICHELIN® tire retailer every
7,500 miles, and the attached Mounting and Rota-
tion Service Record has been fully completed and
signed;
3The completed Service Record form, Original
Owner/Tire Installation Information form, and the
Original Invoice are presented to a participating
Michelin tire retailer at the time of adjustment claim;
and
4The tires have not become unserviceable due to a
condition listed under WHAT IS NOT COVERED.
WHAT YOU MUST DO WHEN MAKING
A CLAIM
When making a claim under the terms of this limited
warranty, you must present your tire(s) to a participating
Michelin retailer. The vehicle on which the tires were
used must be available for inspection.

Driver’s License, Credit Card, etc.) and vehicle registra-
tion may be required.
You pay service charges for normal vehicle and
tire maintenance.
CONDITIONS AND EXCLUSIONS
This limited warranty does not provide compensation for
loss of time, loss of use of vehicle, inconvenience or
incidental or consequential damages.
Tires presented for claim remain the property of the
consumer and Michelin accepts no responsibility for
loss or damage to tires which are in the custody or
control of a Michelin tire retailer for the purpose of
inspection for warranty adjustment.
In the event of a disputed claim, the consumer
must make the tire available for further inspection.
Tires accepted for claim become the property of Mi-
chelin North America, Inc. No Michelin representative, employee or retailer has the
authority to make or imply any representation, promise
or agreement, which in any way varies from the terms of
this warranty.
