Maintain Your InvestmentPreventative scheduled maintenance is an important investment to
optimize the performance, reliability, durability, safety and resale value of
your Nissan. Scheduling your electric vehicle’s maintenance at the
recommended intervals will ensure your electric vehicle functions at its
best.
We want you to enjoy your Nissan electric vehicle. This Service and
Maintenance Guide is designed to help you make sure your electric

services are explained in detail, along with an outline of scheduled

Failure to perform scheduled maintenance may result in excluding
portions of your electric vehicle from warranty coverage and may reduce
the performance, safety, reliability, durability and/or resale value of your
electric vehicle. See your Warranty Information Booklet and Owner’s
Manual for details.

If you have an accident, insist on Genuine Nissan Collision
Parts. If you want your electric vehicle to be restored using
parts made to Nissan’s original exacting specifications – if
you want it to last, help to protect your personal safety and
to help hold its resale value, the solution is simple. Tell your
insurance agent and your repair shop to use only Genuine
Nissan Collision Parts.
Many non-genuine parts are copies made from impres-
sions of Nissan parts and may not match the specifica-
tions and performance standards of Genuine Nissan
Parts. As a result, non-genuine parts may not look or fit
right, and may be less safe.
The hood on your electric vehicle is a good example.
Nissan designed it with hood buckling creases to help
prevent the hood from penetrating the interior of your
electric vehicle in an accident. Non-genuine parts may not
provide such built-in safeguards.
In some states, the law says you must be advised if
non-genuine parts are used to repair your electric vehicle.
Why should you take a chance?Replacement Panel Limited Lifetime
Corrosion Warranty*
If you have your collision damage repaired using Genuine
Nissan Outer Sheet Metal Panels you don’t have to worry
about corrosion. That’s because these panels are war-
ranted against inside out rust-through perforation for as
long as you own your Nissan. Another reason to insist on
Genuine Nissan Collision Repair Parts.
Vehicle Lease agreements, such as those offered by Nissan Motor Ac-
ceptance Corporation, may require that ONLY Genuine Nissan replace-
ment parts be utilized for collision repairs to the vehicle.

As a condition of your electric vehicle’s warranty, you are responsible for properly maintaining your electric
vehicle. In maintaining your electric vehicle, you should follow either Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 as listed
below. Use these guidelines to determine which maintenance schedule to use.
SCHEDULE 1 (more severe operating conditions)
Use Schedule 1 if you primarily operate your electric vehicle under any
of these conditions:
●Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles in normal temperatures or
less than 10 miles in freezing temperatures
● Stop-and-go traffic in hot weather or low speed driving for long dis-
tances
● Driving in dusty conditions or on rough, muddy, or salt-spread roads
● Using a car-top carrier SCHEDULE 2 (less severe operating conditions)
Schedule 2 features 7,500-mile service intervals; with Schedule 2
fewer maintenance items are regularly checked or replaced than with
Schedule 1.
Generally, Schedule 2 applies only to highway driving in temperate
conditions. Use Schedule 2 only if you primarily operate your electric
vehicle under conditions other than those listed in Schedule 1.
* This warranty does not apply to vehicles or parts not distributed by Nissan North America and/or sold outside the United States.
