WHO IS THE WARRANTOR
Nissan1warrants all parts of your 2015 Nissan vehicle
supplied by Nissan, except for those listed elsewhere
under the caption “WHAT IS NOT COVERED.”
APPLICABILITYThis warranty is provided to the original and subse-
quent owner(s) of a Nissan vehicle originally distrib-
uted by Nissan which is originally sold by a Nissan
authorized Nissan dealership in the United States,
and which is registered in the U.S. and normally
operated in the United States (including Alaska and
Hawaii) and Canada.
This warranty is generally transferable from the origi-
nal ‘owner other than a Nissan dealer’ (OWNER) to
subsequent owners of the vehicle at any time own-
ership of the vehicle is transferred, without any ac-
tion on your part; except that this warranty is not
transferable but is instead void if during the first six
months after delivery to the original OWNER: (1)ownership of the vehicle is transferred from the
original OWNER, and (2) the vehicle is registered
outside of the United States.
Your Nissan vehicle is manufactured to meet U.S.
regulations and environmental requirements. With
the exception of privately owned vehicles belonging
to members of the U.S. military or employees and
officers of the United States Government stationed
abroad, this warranty does not apply if an otherwise
covered vehicle is operated in, or relocated to, a
country other than those listed above under this
caption, except that it continues to apply if the ve-
hicle is operated in full compliance with its proper
use as described in the applicable OWNER’S
MANUAL
2while touring outside of the United
States, the U.S. territories or Canada for a period not
exceeding sixty (60) consecutive days or sixty (60)
days in any one 12 month period. Subject to the
transferability restriction described above, this war-
ranty applies to a relocated vehicle which is returned
to, and is registered and normally operated in the
United States, the U.S. territories or Canada, except
for conditions due to the vehicle’s foreign operation,
e.g., use of incompatible charging devices.
Nissan makes available to you, and you are specifi-
cally required by Federal Law to use BBB AUTO
LINE [(800) 955-5100] before exercising rights or
seeking remedies under the Federal Magnuson-
Moss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. §2301, et. seq. You
are not required to first use BBB AUTO LINE if you
seek remedies not created by Title I of that Federal
law, but are required to first use BBB AUTO LINE if
you seek remedies created by state law, including
your state’s lemon law, if applicable state law pro-
vides for using a 703 compliant or similar process
before filing suit. Please refer to the pages titled

WHAT IS COVERED?
Nissan2warrants your Genuine Nissan Replacement
12V Battery as described below except as stated under
“What is not covered?”
This warranty covers defects in materials and workman-
ship

HOW LONG IS THE WARRANTY AND
WHAT WILL NISSAN DO
If your 12V battery becomes unserviceable within the
first 24 months of service Nissan will replace your 12V
battery, including labor, without charge, providing the
12V battery was originally installed in your vehicle by an
authorized Nissan dealer.
If the 12V battery becomes unserviceable after 24 months
of use, Nissan will provide a replacement 12V battery at a
reduced price, charging only for the portion of the life of
the 12V battery actually used. This is called a “pro-rata
adjustment.” You will be responsible for all labor charges
for the replacement of the 12V battery.
This warranty and the “pro-rata adjustment” end
84 months after the date of the 12V battery’s purchase
or installation, whichever is earlier. However, the war-
ranty on a Genuine Nissan replacement 12V battery
installed during the Nissan New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty will extend through, and will not end before, the
end of that original warranty.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED?
This warranty does not cover:
1. Damage or failure resulting from:
Accident, theft, fire or freezing.Misuse of the 12V battery or vehicle in which it is
installed, including the use in applications for which
the 12V battery was not designed. Proper use is
described in the vehicles OWNER’S MANUAL .
Improper installation or 12V battery charging.Vehicle electrical malfunctions not covered by
your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Modification 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 lim-
ited to flood, and salt spray or salt water.
2. Normal maintenance service and recharging of dis- charged batteries.
3. 12V batteries in service more than 84 months.
4. Salvage Title. This warranty does not cover dam- age, failure, or corrosion to any Genuine Nissan
12V 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 12V
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 12V
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
warranted 12V battery or the vehicle in which the 12V
battery is installed to an authorized Nissan LEAF certi-
fied dealer in the U.S. or Canada at your expense, with
proof of purchase (parts invoice or service repair order
from an authorized Nissan dealer) .
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
12V battery service.
