SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(Electric only)
The EV system uses high voltage up to 403V. The
system can be hot during and after operation. Be careful
of both the high voltage and the high temperature. Obey
the caution labels that are attached to the vehicle.
Never touch, disassemble, remove or replace high-
voltage parts and cables as well as their connectors.
High-voltage cables are orange. Touching, disassem-
bling, removing or replacing those parts or cables can
cause severe burns or electric shock that may result in
serious injury or death.
To avoid personal injury, do not touch high-voltage
wiring, connectors or high-voltage parts (inverter unit,
lithium-ion battery etc.) .
If exposed electric wires are visible inside or outside of
your vehicle, an electric shock may occur. Never touch
the electric wires.
If the vehicle receives a strong impact to the floor while
driving, stop the vehicle in a safe location and check the
floor.
If you discover a leak or damage to the lithium-ion
battery, contact a NISSAN dealer immediately.
Never touch fluid leaks inside or outside the vehicle. The
leak may be lithium manganate from the lithium-ion
battery. If it contacts your skin or eyes, wash it off
immediately with a large amount of water or if possible,
boric acid solution. Get immediate medical attention to
help avoid serious injury.If a fire occurs in the EV vehicle, leave the vehicle as
soon as possible. Never use a fire extinguisher that is
not meant for use on electric fires. Using even a small
amount of water may also be dangerous.
If your vehicle needs to be towed, do it with the front
wheels raised. If the front wheels are on the ground
when towing, the motor may generate electricity. This
may damage the components of the EV system and
cause a fire.
SEE YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL FOR FURTHER
DETAILS.
Nissan recommends having maintenance and re-
pairs for your Electric Vehicle performed by an au-
thorized Nissan LEAF certified dealership. To locate
your nearest authorized Nissan LEAF certified
dealership, contact the Nissan Consumer Affairs
Department at 1-877-NO GAS EV

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.

receipts for review by Nissan. You are required to per-
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.

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.

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.

will be final and not subject to judicial review. All arbi-
trations will be conducted as document hearings. Each
party shall bear its own costs arising from and associ-
ated with the document hearing with the exception of
the arbitrator’s fee which will be borne by all parties in
equal shares. If either party requests any procedures
beyond a document hearing, the requesting party will be

tive fees, above and beyond the fees required for docu-
ment hearings. Any award of the arbitrator(s) may be

MICHELIN TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY19

Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail due to
improper maintenance or service factors. This could
create a risk of property damage and serious or fatal
injury. Disregarding any of the safety precautions and
instructions contained in this manual may result in tire
failure or explosion causing serious personal injury or
death. For your safety, comply with the following:
TIRE INFLATION
Keep tires inflated to the pressures recommended on
the tire data placard. (See your OWNER’S MANUAL for
location.) These inflation pressures must be maintained
as a minimum. However, do not exceed the maximum
pressure rating indicated on the tire sidewall.

TIRES, INCLUDING THE SPARE, WHEN TIRES ARE
COLD, AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH BEFORE DRIV-
ING.
Failure to maintain correct inflation may result in im-
proper vehicle handling and may cause rapid and ir-
regular tire wear, sudden tire destruction, loss of vehicle
control and serious personal injury. Therefore, inflation
pressures should be checked at least once a month and
always prior to long distance trips.
Pressures should be checked when tires are cold. The
tires are cold when your vehicle has been driven less
than a mile at moderate speed after being stopped for
three or more hours.
CHECKING PRESSURE WHEN TIRES
ARE HOT
If you must add air when your tires are hot, add four
pounds per square inch (psi) (28 kPa) above the rec-
ommended cold air pressure. Recheck the inflation
pressure when the tire is cold.
For Example Only:
Gauge reading of hot tire: 32 psi
If recommended pressure is: 30 psi
Desired gauge reading of hot tire 30+4psi=34psi
Check cold pressures as soon as possible, at least by
the next day. Never “bleed” air from hot tires as your tire
will be underinflated. Use an accurate tire gauge to
check pressures. Never allow children to air up tires.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE
CORRECT INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS.
For replacement tires, the correct inflation pressure will be
provided by your tire dealer. If not, refer to the vehicle decal.
Underinflation produces extreme flexing of the sidewalls
and builds up heat which may result in sudden tire de-
struction and serious personal injury. Overinflating can
cause the tire to be more susceptible to impact damage.
LOAD LIMITS
DO NOT OVERLOAD. DRIVING ON ANY OVER-
LOADED TIRE IS DANGEROUS.Never load your
tires beyond the load carrying limits molded into the
sidewall of the tires or the maximum vehicle load limit as
shown on the vehicle tire data placard, whichever is
less. Overloading causes heat to build up which can
lead to sudden tire failure and serious personal injury.
SPEED LIMITS AND SPEED RATED
TIRES
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS.
Never operate your vehicle in excess of lawful speeds or
the maximum speeds justified by the driving conditions.
Excessive speeds or racing can cause heat buildup in a
tire leading to possible failure and serious personal
injury.
Correct inflation pressure is especially impor-
tant. However, at high speeds, even with the correct
inflation pressure, a road hazard, for example, is more
difficult to avoid and if contact is made, there is a greater
chance of causing tire damage than at the lower speed.
Moreover, driving at high speed reduces the reaction
time available to avoid accidents and bring your vehicle
to a safe stop. If you see any damage to a tire or wheel,
replace it with your spare tire and see your tire dealer at
once.
Tire speed ratings do not imply that a vehicle can be
safely driven at the maximum speed for which the tire is
rated. In addition, some damages or improper repairs
may cause a speed-rated tire to lose its speed rating.
Exceeding the tire’s maximum speed rating will cause
the tire to build up excessive heat which can cause tire
damage that could result in sudden tire destruction and
rapid air loss. Failure to control a vehicle with sudden air
loss can lead to an accident. In any case, you should not
exceed reasonable speeds as indicated by the legal
limits and driving conditions.
