NISSAN CARES...
Both Nissan and your Nissan LEAF certified dealer are
dedicated to serving all your automotive needs. Your
complete satisfaction with your LEAF and your Nissan
LEAF certified dealer are our primary concerns. Your
Nissan LEAF certified dealer is always available to as-
sist you with all your automobile service requirements.
If, however, a situation arises that you believe has not
been addressed to your satisfaction, we ask that you
take the following steps:
How to Locate a Nissan LEAF Certified Dealer
●Go to the Nissanusa.com website. Enter zip code in
the “Locate a Dealer” function. Check the box for
“Nissan LEAF dealers only.”
●Go to Nissanusa.com site. Select United States
language preference, and Nissan LEAF. Select “Find
a Dealer” and enter zip code or city and state.
●Contact our Nissan Consumer Affairs Department
for assistance using our toll free number.
STEP 1:
Discuss the situation with the dealership’s manager. If a
problem still exists, contact the dealership’s Consumer
Affairs Manager or owner. They are best equipped to
resolve the matter for you. STEP 2:
If the concern has still not been addressed to your
satisfaction, please contact our (Nissan’s) Consumer
Affairs Department using our toll free number:
The Consumer Affairs Department will ask for the fol-
lowing information:
Your name, address, and telephone numberVehicle identification number (on dashboard)Date of purchaseCurrent odometer readingYour Nissan dealer’s nameDetails of the concern
Or you can write to Nissan with the above information
at:

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
(1-877-NO GAS EV) . We will be happy to provide you
with information about BBB AUTO LINE. Or, you may
contact the BBB directly at:

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
andarbitration. 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.
The BBB will, in most cases, send you a final 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.

NISSAN’S CUSTOMER CARE PROGRAM 3
Page 11 of 42
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)
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.
OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICEYou must take the vehicle to an authorized Nissan
LEAF certified dealer in the United States or Canada
during regular business hours at your expense in
order to obtain warranty service. The names and
addresses of authorized Nissan LEAF certified deal-
ers are listed in telephone directories.

form annual EV Battery Usage Reports at intervals of
12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months,
60 months, 72 months, and 84 months. These EV
Battery Usage Reports can be performed by a Nissan
LEAF certified dealer or any qualified repair shop facility.
The 12 and 24 month EV Battery Usage Report will be
performed at no charge to the customer, provided the
work is done at a Nissan LEAF certified dealer. Any
damage or failure resulting from a failure to have these
required services performed, or that could have been
avoided had these services been performed, is not
covered under warranty.
