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.
California Vehicle Inspection Program
Under this program, if your vehicle fails a “smog check” test,
you may choose to have diagnosis of the failure and repairs
made at a Nissan dealer or at another service facility. If
the inspection failure is the result of a condition covered
by these warranties, you must take your vehicle to an
authorized Nissan dealer for warranty repairs. This includes
parts, labor and diagnosis. You must pay for diagnostic
costs if performed at another service facility except in the
case of emergency repairs as outlined below.
You must pay for all diagnostic and repair costs of an
inspection failure as required by law if the failure was
caused by conditions not covered by these warranties. If
the failure is the result of a combination of conditions, you
must pay for only the diagnostic and repair costs related
to items not covered by these warranties.
After the 3 year/50,000 mile performance warranty has
passed, a “smog check” test failure due to a defect in a part
which is warranted for 7 years/70,000 miles is covered.

Emergency Repairs
In case of an emergency, when an authorized Nissan
dealer is not reasonably available, warranty repairs may
be performed at any service facility or by the owner using
any replacement parts. Nissan will reimburse you for
such repairs, including diagnosis, up to the amount of
Nissan’s suggested retail price for parts and labor charges
based on Nissan’s recommended time allowance for the
warranty repair and the geographically appropriate hourly

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

denied, Nissan will notify you in writing of the reason. If
we do not notify you within this time period, we will repair

and in accordance with the maintenance recommendations
and safety warnings contained in the owner’s manual and
in the Important Tire Safety Information Section of this
booklet, are covered by this warranty against defects in
workmanship and material for the life of the original usable
tread, or 6 years from the date of purchase, whichever
comes fi rst. At that time, all warranties, express or implied,
are terminated. The usable tread is the original tread
down to the level of the tread wear indicators - 2/32nds
of an inch (1.6mm) of tread remaining. Date of purchase
is documented by new vehicle registration or tire sales
invoice. If no proof of purchase, coverage will be based
on date of manufacture.
WHAT IS NOT COVEREDTires which become unserviceable due to:
• Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact
damage, puncture, whether repairable or not);
• Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance, or
improper repair;

A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition
covered by this warranty will be replaced with a comparable
new BFGoodrich tire, free of charge, when 2/32nds of an
inch (1.6mm) or less of the original tread is worn, (or 25%
or less, whichever is most benefi cial to the user) and within
12 months of the date of purchase. Mounting and balancing
of tires is included. The cost of any other service charges
and applicable taxes are payable by the user.
When more than 2/32nds of an inch of original tread has
been worn (or more than 25%, whichever is most benefi cial
to the user) or after 12 months from date of purchase, the

passenger or light truck replacement tire on a pro rata basis.
The dealer shall determine the charge by multiplying the
percentage of the original usable tread worn by the current
actual selling price at the adjustment location or the price on
the current BFGoodrich Brand Base Price List, whichever is
lower. This List is based on a predetermined price intended
to fairly represent the actual selling price of the tire. The
cost of mounting, balancing and any other service charges
and applicable taxes are payable by the user.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?You are eligible for the benefi ts of this Limited Warranty if:• You are the owner or authorized agent of the owner
of new Dunlop highway auto, light truck or temporary
spare tires supplied as original equipment on your
vehicle, and
• Your tires bear Department of Transportation prescribed
tire identifi cation numbers and your tires have been
used only on the vehicle on which they were originally
installed according to the vehicle manufacturer or
Dunlop recom-mendations, and
•
Your vehicle was purchased on or after March 1, 2003.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW
LONG?
FREE TIRE REPLACEMENT
Any Dunlop tire eligible under the provisions of this limited
warranty and removed from service due to a covered
warranty condition during the fi rst 2/32" treadwear or 12
months from date of purchase, whichever occurs fi rst,
will be replaced with a comparable new Dunlop tire at no
charge. Mounting and balancing are included. (Without
proof of purchase, date of manufacture will be used to
determine age.)
TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
Any Dunlop temporary spare tire eligible under the
provisions of this limited warranty and removed from
service due to a covered warranty condition during the
fi rst 50 percent of usable treadwear will be replaced with a
comparable new Dunlop temporary spare tire at no charge,
including mounting.
PRORATED ADJUSTMENT
A tire not eligible for no-charge replacement that is
removed from service due to a covered warranty condition
will be replaced with a comparable new Dunlop tire on a
prorated basis.
DUNLOP PASSENGER TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
HOW WILL PRORATED
CHARGES BE CALCULATED?
Replacement price will be calculated by multiplying the tire’s
advertised retail selling price at the time of adjustment by the
percentage of usable original tread that has been worn off.
You pay for mounting, balancing and applicable taxes.
Example: If your disabled tire had an original 8/32" of
usable treadwear and is worn to 4/32" usable tread
remaining, you have used 50 percent and, therefore, must
pay 50 percent of the current advertised selling price of the
replacement tire. If the price of the new replacement tire
is $80, the cost to you would be $40 plus any additional
charges such as mounting, balancing and applicable
taxes.
WHAT IS A COMPARABLE TIRE?A comparable new Dunlop tire may either be the same line
of tire or, in the event that the tire is not available, a tire of
the same basic construction and quality with a different
side-wall or tread confi guration. If a higher priced tire is
accepted as replacement, the difference in price will be
at an additional charge to you.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONSA tire has delivered its full original treadlife and the coverage
of this warranty ends when the treadwear indicators
become visible (worn to 2/32") , or six (6) years from the
date of original tire manufacture or new tire purchase date.
(Without proof of purchase, date of manufacture will be
used to determine age.)
Any replacement tire provided pursuant to this warranty
will be covered by the Dunlop warranty in effect at the
time of replacement.
LIMITATIONSThis limited warranty is applicable only in the United States
and Canada.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY
THIS WARRANTY?
This limited warranty does not cover the following:
• Tires submitted for ride disturbance complaints that
are worn beyond the fi rst two thirty-seconds of an inch
(2/32") tread depth.
• Dunlop does not warrant or give credit in any adjustment
transaction for any kind of material added to a tire (e.g.,
tire fi llers, sealants, balancing substances) after the
tire leaves a factory producing Dunlop tires, nor will
it adjust any tire that has failed as a result of adding
such material.
• Irregular wear or damage due to mechanical condition of
the vehicle, improper infl ation, overloading, high speed
spin-up, misapplication, misuse, negligence, racing,
use of tire chains, improper mounting or demounting,
improper repair, wreck, collision or fi re.
• Road hazards (includes, but not limited to, punctures,
cuts, snags, impact breaks, etc.) .
• Any tire that after leaving a factory producing Dunlop
tires has been intentionally altered to change its
appearance (e.g., white inlay on a black tire, regrooving
or siping) .
• Tires with weather-cracking that were purchased more
than four (4) years prior to presentation for adjustment
or, if purchase date cannot be verifi ed, manufactured
more than four (4) years prior to presentation for
adjustment.
• Loss of time, inconvenience, loss of vehicle use,
incidental or consequential damages.

WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS?Some states and provinces do not allow the exclusion
or limitation of incidental or consequential damages,
so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to
you. No representative or dealer has authority to make
any representation, promise, or agreement on behalf of
Goodyear Dunlop Tires North America, Ltd. (GDTNA) ,
except as stated herein.
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail in
service or otherwise become unserviceable due to
conditions beyond the control of the manufacturer. Under
no circumstances is this warranty a representation that a
tire failure cannot occur.
This warranty gives you specifi c legal rights, and you may
also have other rights that vary from state to state and in
Canada province to province.
HOW DO YOU OBTAIN AN
ADJUSTMENT?
A. You must present the tire to be adjusted to an authorized
Dunlop service facility. Tires replaced on an adjustment
basis become the property of Goodyear Dunlop Tires
North America, Ltd. or Goodyear Canada Inc.
B. You must pay for taxes and any additional services you
order at the time of adjustment.
C. You must submit your claim on a GDTNA claim form
supplied by an authorized Dunlop service facility. The
form must be fi lled out completely and signed by you,
the owner of the tire presented for adjustment, or your
authorized agent.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDEThe easiest way to help ensure satisfactory mileage and
performance from your Dunlop tires is to give them a simple
but frequent inspection for proper infl ation, even treadwear,
and the presence of any damage.
DO MAINTAIN PROPER INFLATION
PRESSURE IN YOUR TIRES
Proper infl ation pressure is necessary for optimum tire
per-formance, safety and fuel economy. To maintain proper
infl ation pressure, frequently check tires (when they are
cool) with an accurate tire pressure gauge.*
For example, it is diffi cult to tell just by looking at radial
tires whether they are underinfl ated.
Furthermore, when operating a vehicle equipped with
radial tires, it is diffi cult to notice when a tire has gone
fl at or nearly fl at since the “feel” of the vehicle does not
change signifi cantly.
*Evidence of air loss or repeated underinfl ation
always requires expert inspection to determine the
source of leakage and tire removal to determine
repairability. To avoid injury, NEVER attempt to reinfl ate
a tire that has been run severely underinfl ated.
Progressive air loss may result from punctures, cuts, curbing,
impacts or partial bead unseating. Some fi tment causes for
air loss are (1) incomplete bead seating, (2) bead tearing
caused by a machine tool due to insuffi cient lubrication or
improper adjustment, (3) leaking valve core or rubber valve
components. These should be replaced when problems
are detected and whenever tires are replaced.
Always maintain infl ation pressure at the level
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer as shown
on the vehicle placard or in the owner’s manual:Underinfl ation is the leading cause of tire failure and
may result in severe cracking, component separation or
“blowout.” It reduces tire load capacity, allows excessive
sidewall fl exing and increases rolling resistance, resulting in
heat and mechanical damage. Maintaining proper infl ation
pressure is the single most important thing you can do to
ensure tire durability and maximum treadlife.
Overinfl ation increases stiffness, which may deteriorate
ride and generate unwanted vibration. Overinfl ation also
increases the chances of impact damage.
DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLECheck your vehicle owner’s manual to determine the load
limits. Overloading your vehicle places stress on your tires
and other critical vehicle components. Overloading a vehicle
can cause poor handling, increased fuel consumption and
may cause tire failure.
Never fi t your vehicle with new tires that have less load
capacity than shown on the vehicle tire placard and
remember that optimum rim width is important for proper
tire load distribution and function.
The maximum load capacity stamped on the sidewalls of
P-Metric tires is reduced by 10 percent when used on a
light truck, utility vehicle or trailer. Never fi t P-Metric tires to
light trucks that specify LT-type replacement tires.
DON'T SPIN YOUR TIRES EXCESSIVELYAvoid excessive tire spinning when your vehicle is stuck in
snow, ice, mud or sand. The centrifugal forces generated
by a free-spinning tire/wheel assembly may cause sudden
tire explosion resulting in vehicle damage and/or serious
