WHEN DOES THIS WARRANTY APPLY
This warranty applies to your 2012 Nissan vehicle only if
it fails to pass a California “smog check” test or equiva-
lent.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
5
Nissan warrants that if your vehicle fails to pass a
California “smog check” test, it will make the necessary
repairs so that your vehicle will pass. This warranty is for
3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The
warranty begins the date the vehicle is delivered to the
first retail buyer or the date it is first put in to service,
whichever is earlier.
Exceptions to this warranty are listed under the caption
“ WHAT IS NOT COVERED”.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
These warranties do not cover:1. Normal maintenance, service and parts replace- ment as outlined in the emission control mainte-
nance instructions of your OWNER’S MANUAL
and your NISSAN SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
GUIDE.
2. Failures directly as a result of:
Lack of performance of required emission control
maintenance as outlined in your OWNER’S
MANUAL and your NISSAN SERVICE & MAIN-
TENANCE GUIDE.
Misuse, accident or modification.
Improper adjustment or installation of parts during
the performance of maintenance (non-warranty)
services.
Tampering with or disconnecting any part affect-
ing vehicle emissions.
The use of fuel other than that specified in your
OWNER’S MANUAL or fuel with contaminants
which the fuel filter is not designed to remove.
3. In the case of the Performance Warranty, the use of any non-Nissan part not certified in accordance
with Federal requirements which is defective or not
equivalent from an emissions stand point to the
original equipment part.
4. In the case of the Defects Warranty, parts not supplied by Nissan or damage to other parts
caused directly by non-Nissan parts.
5. In the case of the Performance Warranty, costs of determining the cause of a vehicle failing a Califor-
nia “smog check” test if such failure is found not to
be covered.
WHAT YOU MUST DO
In order to obtain warranty service you must deliver the
vehicle to any authorized Nissan dealer in the United
States at your expense. You are responsible for the
required maintenance on your vehicle as outlined in the
maintenance instructions in your NISSAN SERVICE &
MAINTENANCE GUIDE. Nissan recommends that you
retain all receipts covering maintenance on your vehicle,
but Nissan cannot deny warranty solely for the lack of
receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance of
all scheduled maintenance.
WHAT NISSAN WILL DO
Warranty repairs will be made at no charge for parts
and/or labor, including diagnosis and tax. Any needed
parts replacement will be made using new or remanu-
factured parts.
OTHER WARRANTY TERMS
Performance Warranty Claims Procedure
You may make a claim under the Performance Warranty
immediately after the failure of a “smog check” test. You
must provide proof of this failure when making your
claim in order to avoid additional “smog check” test
charges.
You will be told whether Nissan will honor your claim
within 30 days of the date you make the claim, unless a
shorter time period is required by law. If your claim is
denied, Nissan will notify you in writing of the reason. If
we do not notify you within this time period, we will
repair your vehicle under this warranty at no cost to you.
The time period for notification will not apply if you
request a delay or a delay is caused by events not under
the control of Nissan dealers. No claim will be denied
under the Performance Warranty because you use a
certified part for maintenance or repair.
Maintenance Service and Replacement Parts
Important information concerning maintenance service
and replacement parts is in the Limited Warranty on
Nissan Replacement Parts and Accessories section of
this booklet. No warranty claim will be denied solely
because a non-Nissan part was used for maintenance
or repair.
