NISSAN PATHFINDER HYBRID 2016 R52 / 4.G Warranty Booklet

The Convenience (Temporary) Spare weighs less than a
standard tire so it’s easier to handle. It also helps reduce
the total car weight which contributes to fuel economy.
The wheels used with the Convenience (Temporary)
Spare are specifically designed for use with high pres-
sure spares and should never be used with any other
type tire.
DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT YOUR
OWN TIRES
Serious injury or Death may result from explosion of tire/
rim assembly due to improper mounting procedures. Fol-
low tire manufacturer’s instructions and match tire diam-
eter to rim diameter. Mount light truck radials on rims
approved for radial service. Do not apply bead sealer. This
can inhibit bead seating. Lubricate beads and tire rim
(including tube or flap) contact surfaces. Lock assembly
on mounting machine or place in safety cage. STAND
BACK and never exceed 40 psi to seat beads. Never use
a volatile substance or a rubber “donut” (also known as a
bead expander or “O-Ring”) to aid bead seating. Only
specially-trained persons should mount tires.
DON’T MIX TIRES OF DIFFERENT
SIZES AND TYPES ON THE SAME
AXLE
For optimum handling and control, Goodyear and Dun-
lop recommend fitment of four (4) tires of the same type
and size unless otherwise specified by the vehicle
manufacturer.
WARNING: Before you replace your tires, always con-
sult the vehicle Owner’s Manual and follow the vehicle
manufacturer’s replacement tire recommendations. Ve-
hicle handling may be significantly affected by a changein tire size or type. When selecting tires that are different
than the Original Equipment size, see a professional
installer in order to make certain that proper clearance,
load carrying capacity and inflation pressure is selected.
Never exceed the maximum load capacity and inflation
pressure listed on the sidewall of the tire. Always drive
safely and obey all traffic laws. Avoid sudden, sharp
turns or lane changes. Failure to follow this warning may
result in loss of control of the vehicle, leading to an
accident and serious injury or death.
When replacing tires, you must maintain the outside
diameter and load carrying capacity of the Original
Equipment tire. Inflation pressure may need to be ad-
justed to avoid overloading the tire. Consult the Tire &
Rim Association Load and Inflation Tables, ETRTO or
JATMA standards for correct load and inflation informa-
tion.
NEVER FIT TIRES TO A VEHICLE THAT
HAVE LESS LOAD CARRYING
CAPACITY THAN AS REQUIRED BY
THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT
MANUFACTURER
Examples: Many vehicles, such as large passenger
vans, require Load Range E tires as designated by the
vehicle manufacturer. Fitment of a tire, such as a Load
Range D, with less carrying capacity is not allowed.
In other cases, tires of the same size may carry different
load indexes in the service description. You must make
certain the replacement tires fitted to the vehicle have a
load carrying capacity equal to or greater than what the
Original Equipment manufacturer specifies.
NOTE:
Goodyear manufactured and/or marketed
European-Metric passenger tires and P-Metric
passenger tires are interchangeable as long as
they have the same section width, same aspect
ratio, same rim diameter. Caution: Never substi-
tute a “Standard Load” (SL) tire for an Extra Load
(XL) tire. If the vehicle was originally equipped
with “Extra Load” (XL) tires, replace those tires
with similar sized XL tires.
FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL
GUIDELINES
When installing only two tires, fit the tires with the
deepest tread depth on the rear axle. If radials and
non-radials must be fitted to the same vehicle, fit radials
on rear axle. Never mix radials and non-radials on the
same axle. When fitting snow tires or all-season tires to
performance vehicles, always fit in sets of four. It is not
recommended to fit tires with different speed ratings. If
tires with different speed ratings are installed on a
vehicle, they should be installed with like pairs on the
same axle. The speed capability of the vehicle will
become limited to that of the lowest speed rated tires.
Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can
cause instability. When changing tire sizes, always con-
sult Dealer for optimum rim width and carefully checkvehicle/tire clearances.

RETREADED TIRES
Retreaded passenger and light truck tires are not war-
ranted by Goodyear and Dunlop for any reason. Good-
year and Dunlop speed ratings and U.S. Department of
Transportation test compliance certifications are voided
for retreaded tires.
DO MAINTAIN VEHICLE SUSPENSION,
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE
AND ROTATE YOUR TIRES
Lack of rotation, worn suspension parts, underinflation/
overinflation, wheel imbalance and misalignment can
cause vibration or irregular tire wear. Rotate your tires
according to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions or at maximum intervals of 6,000 miles/10,000 km.

TIRE SERVICE LIFE
Tires are designed and built to provide many thousands
of miles of excellent service. For maximum benefit, tires
must be maintained properly to avoid tire damage that
may result in removal from service before the tread is
worn down to minimum depth.
It is not practical to accurately predict the service life of
any specific tire in chronological time since service con-
ditions vary widely. The serviceability of a tire over time is a
function of the storage and service conditions (inflation
pressure, load, speed, road hazard injury, etc.) to which a
tire is subjected. Consumers should not rely solely on the
appearance of the tire, but should be aware of any change
in dynamic performance such as increased air loss, noise
or vibration, which could be a sign to remove the tire.
Therefore, it is essential to have tires, including spares,
inspected regularly (at least monthly) for proper inflation
pressure, damage and treadwear.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL MONITORING
The information contained in this Limited Warranty Bro-
chure applies only to the Original Equipment tires sup-
plied with your vehicle. In order for Goodyear Run-Flat
(Extended Mobility Technology [EMT], RunOnFlat
[ROF]) or Dunlop Run-Flat (Dunlop Self- Supporting
Technology [DSST]) tires to obtain the performance
criteria stated within this Limited Warranty, Goodyear or
Dunlop Run-Flat tires must use specific parts, such as a
low tire pressure monitoring system authorized by the
Original Equipment vehicle manufacturer.
RUN-FLAT TIRE FEATURE:
The Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire is a high-
performance tire with a remarkable feature: It can oper-
ate for limited distances with very low or even no infla-
tion pressure (refer to your Vehicle Owner’s Manual for
these limitations) . This is an important benefit, espe-
cially if inflation loss occurs at a location where imme-
diately stopping your vehicle could be hazardous.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ALERT
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more informa-
tion on what to do if the tire pressure warning system
activates.
WARNING
If the tire pressure-monitoring system signals an alert,
follow these safety precautions to prevent a loss of
vehicle control that could result in serious personal
injury or death:
●Slow your speed. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 kph) .
●Avoid hard cornering, hard braking and severe han-
dling maneuvers.
●Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
Remember that when your tires have lost air pressure,
your vehicle’s handling capability is reduced, particu-
larly during severe maneuvers.
TO PROLONG TIRE LIFE DURING A SYSTEM
ALERT
The Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat tire can be driven at
low or zero air pressure (refer to your vehicle Owner’s
Manual for these limitations) . To help prolong the life of
a tire operating under low-inflation conditions, drive at a
speed as far below 50 mph (80 kph) as possible. Also,
drive the shortest distance possible before obtaining
tire service. Taking these precautions will increase the
chance that your tire will be repairable. SERVICE AFTER A SYSTEM ALERT
To obtain service after operating under low-inflation
conditions, contact your Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat
service facility. Trained service personnel will inspect
your tires to determine if they are in need of repair or
replacement. To locate the nearest authorized Good-
year or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility, call 1-800-
GOODYEAR (1-800-466-3932) .
WARNING
Because of the unique characteristics of Run-Flat tires,
the wheels on which they are mounted and your vehi-
cle’s tire pressure monitoring system, all tire service
work other than routine inflation maintenance and exter-
nal inspections must be performed by service personnel
at a Goodyear or Dunlop Run-Flat service facility. Do not
attempt to mount or demount Run-Flat tires yourself;
serious injury or death could result. Only specially
trained persons should mount, demount and repair Run-
Flat tires, and more than 40 psi (270 kPa) may be
required to seat beads. A safety cage and clip-on ex-
tension air hose must be used if more than 40 psi
(270kPa) is need to seat beads.
TIRE REPAIR
Like any other Goodyear or Dunlop speed-rated, high-

GENERAL TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
AND ADJUSTMENT POLICY
This Limited Warranty and Adjustment (the “Policy”) is
issued by Continental Tire North America, Inc. (the
“Company”) and is applicable for Continental and
General-brand original equipment tires and is a promise
of replacement under certain specified conditions. This
Policy applies to tires in normal service displaying ad-
justable conditions (see Section 4) and does not re-
quire the existence of a workmanship or material related
condition in order to qualify for adjustment. THIS
POLICY IS NOT A WARRANTY THAT YOUR TIRE
WILL NOT FAIL OR BECOME UNSERVICEABLE IF
NEGLECTED OR MISTREATED.
1. ELIGIBILITY
a. This Policy applies to the owner of Passenger Car,Light Truck and Serva-Spare tires bearing the Con-
tinental or General brand name and serial numbers,
and operated in normal service.
b. Eligible tires must be the original equipment tires, used on the vehicle on which they were originally
installed by the vehicle manufacturer.
c. Tires branded “used” are not eligible under this Policy.
2. WHAT IS THE ADJUSTMENT POLICY
AND FOR HOW LONG?
Limited warranty coverage is for a maximum period of
72 months from the date of purchase*, determined by
the new vehicle registration date or new vehicle sales
invoice showing date of purchase. If an eligible Passenger or Light Truck or Serva-Spare
tire, used in normal service, becomes unserviceable
from a condition other than those listed under Section 4,
during or after the time or treadwear periods shown
below, it will be replaced with a comparable** new
Continental or General brand tire according to
(A)and
(B) below.
(A) Free Replacement Policy:
Time* Treadwear
Passenger
Tire First 12 Months or First
2/32nds,
(whichever comes
first) .
Mounting & Balancing in-
cluded free of charge.
Owner pays all applicable
taxes.
Light Truck
Tire First 12 Months or First
2/32nds,
(whichever comes
first) .

After the Free Replacement Policy expires (set
forth in section 2A) , and the tire is still within
72 months from the date of purchase*, you will
pay, on a pro rata basis, for a comparable** new
Continental or General brand replacement tire.
A tire is eligible for an adjustment on a pro rata
basis until the tread is worn down to the tread
wear indicators (2/32nds of an inch of tread
remaining) . The tire tread is worn out at this
point and this Policy ends regardless of time
period. Owner pays all applicable taxes (includ-
ing F.E.T.) , mounting and balancing charges.
Serva-Spare Tires
After the “Free Replacement Policy” expires (set
forth in section 2A) , no adjustment will be made.
*At the time of claim, you need to present your
new vehicle registration or new vehicle sales
invoice showing date of purchase. If satisfac-
tory proof-of-purchase date is not provided,
the D.O.T. certification date of manufacture
(tire serial number) will be used.
**A “comparable” new Continental or General
brand tire may be either the same tire line or
the same basic construction but with a differ-
ent sidewall or tread configuration. If a
higher-priced tire is accepted as
replacement, the owner will pay the differ-
ence in price. Any tire replaced under this
Policy will be covered by the current
Continental/ General Tire Limited Warranty
and Adjustment Policy
(Continued on next page)

3. HOW A PRO RATA PRICE IS
CALCULATED
The replacement tire price will be determined by multiply-
ing the percentage of the usable tread worn by the Dealers
Selling Price (excluding all applicable taxes) at the time of
the adjustment or the Continental/General brand current
published Adjustment Base Price, whichever is lower. The
usable tread is the original tread down to the tread wear
indicators (2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining) . The
Adjustment Base Price is intended to fairly represent a
Dealer’s Selling Price for the same or comparable tire.
4. WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE
ADJUSTMENT POLICY
a.The following conditions are not covered:
Road Hazard: Cuts, snags, punctures, bruises or
impact breaks and any damage caused by puncture
or tire repair.

OWNER’S OBLIGATIONS
At least monthly, the vehicle owner(s) should check the
tires’ air pressure with a gauge and inflate to the recom-
mended cold air pressure level listed on the driver’s
door placard. Do not rely on car servicers to perform the
checks. The tires should be rotated at least every
8,000km (5,000 miles) or earlier if uneven wear is
occurring, and proof of maintenance records should be
kept. The owner(s) should have the tires rebalanced if
vibration is experienced, and the vehicle’s alignment
should be checked if uneven or rapid wear is occurring,
or when suggested by the vehicle’s manufacturer.
All warranty claims must be presented to an authorized
Falken dealer or participating car dealership. The own-
er(s) must present any supporting maintenance records
and documentation necessary to help determine if the
tire(s) in question are deemed covered by the limited
warranty or not.
LEGAL RIGHTS
All implied warranties, including warranties of mer-
chantability and fitness for a particular purpose shall be
limited in duration to the above period. To the extent
permitted by law, Falken Tire Corporation shall not be
responsible for incidental or consequential damages,
such as loss of use of the tire or the vehicle on which it
is used, inconvenience, or commercial loss, some states
do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty
lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or con-
sequential damages, so the above limitations or exclu-sions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you
specific legal rights and you may also have other rights,
which vary from state to state. This is the only express
warranty applicable to Falken brand tires and super-
sedes the terms of any previous warranty. Falken neither
assumes nor authorizes anyone to make or assume for it
any other warranty.
TIRE CARE AND RECOMMENDATIONS
PROPER INFLATION and FUEL ECONOMY*
Ensure maximum performance and a long life from your
tires by checking the air pressures at least once a month
and set them to the vehicle manufacturer’s recom-
mended pressure(s) listed on the vehicle’s tire placard
or in your owner’s manual. Always check and adjust your
air pressure when your tires are cold, preferably first
thing in the morning before driving. Never release air
pressure from tires when they are hot. Wait until the tires
cool down and recheck, adding air or releasing as
required. Falken endorses the use of nitrogen in your
tires because it helps your tires maintain optimal pres-
sure for longer periods of time and reduces the amount
of moisture inside of the tire and wheel assembly.
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
Tires need to be properly inflated to effectively operate
and perform as intended. Tires carry the weight of the
vehicle, passengers, and cargo as well as bear the
forces of braking, accelerating, and turning. The vehicle
manufacturer sets the inflation pressures for the original
equipment tires that are on your vehicle.Driving with improperly inflated tires is dangerous. An
under inflated tire will generate excessive heat build-up
that will cause damage to the internal structure and
inner liner of the tire. Besides tire damage, improper tire
inflation pressures can also affect your vehicle’s ride
and handling, tire tread wear, and fuel economy. It is
recommended to always keep all of your tires, including
the spare, at the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended
inflation pressures and be sure to check the air pressure
monthly and before going on long road trips or carrying
extra weight in your vehicle.
Your vehicle’s tire placard and/or owner’s manual will
list the cold inflation pressure(s) for your vehicle’s origi-
nal equipment tires, including the spare. The placard
can be found on the driver’s side door or door jamb area.
If you have questions about understanding your vehi-
cle’s tire placard, please refer to your owner’s manual or
ask a qualified tire service professional.

CHECKING YOUR TIRE’S AIR PRESSURE
Checking your air pressure at least once a month is vital
to help your tires perform properly and help you get the
best gas mileage possible. Tires can lose up to 7 kPa
(1 psi) per month under normal conditions and lose up
to 7 kPa (1 psi) per every 9°C (16°F) drop in tempera-
ture. Here are some simple steps on how to check the
air pressures in your tires: 1. Remove the valve stem cap.

* Some plus size applications may require different air pressure(s) than what is listed on your vehicle’s placard or owner’s manual. In this case, please consult your tire dealer or Falken Tire for proper inflation pressure(s) .

2. Place the end of the tire gauge firmly against thetire’s valve stem.
3. Read the current pressure displayed on the gauge that is currently in the tire.
4. Increase pressure at this time (if needed) and re- check with your tire gauge.
5. Replace the valve stem cap.
6. Repeat until all of your tires have been checked and adjusted accordingly.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)
A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is a safety
system found in most vehicles manufactured after
2005. There are pressure sensing transmitters mounted
inside of each tire that sends readings to the central
computer (ECU) in your vehicle. The TPMS system will
alert you when one or more of your tires are underin-
flated by 25% or more by turning on a warning light on
your vehicle’s dashboard or heads up display (HUD)
screen. This means that one or more of your tires may
have a low-pressure condition. Follow the instructions
in your owner’s manual.
ROTATION and WEAR
**
Falken recommends rotating your tires at least every
8,000km (5,000 miles) and periodically inspecting your
tires to make sure they are free of road hazards (such as
nails, screws, large wood splinters, etc.) that might
penetrate your tires causing them to lose air pressure
and to ensure they are wearing evenly. Common irregu-
lar wear patterns are: misalignment wear, where the tire
shows excessive outer or inner tread wear. Tire side- walls should also be inspected for cuts, snags, bruises,
and weather cracking. If any of these noted conditions
are present during inspection, we recommend returning
to your servicing tire dealer to be corrected to ensure
long tire life.
TIRE REPLACEMENT
Falken recommends replacing your tires when the tread
wears down to the wear bars at 1.6mm (2/32 of an
inch) , which are located across the tread in several
locations around the tire. If only two tires are being
replaced, the two new tires should always be installed
on the rear of the vehicle to aid in preventing your
vehicle from hydroplaning, even if your car is front wheel
drive. It’s always recommended to have your new tires
balanced during installation, and alignment checked if
the previous tires show and irregular wear. Tires that
have been in use for 5 (five) years or more should
continue to be inspected by a qualified tire specialist, at
least annually. It is recommended that any tires 10 (ten)
years old or older from the date of manufacture, includ-
ing spare tires, be replaced with new tires as a precau-
tion even if such tires appear serviceable and even if
they have not reached the legal worn out limit at 1.6mm
(2/32 of an inch) .
TIRE REPAIRS
In the event that you get a flat tire while driving, it is best
to find a nearby, safe place to stop and install your spare
tire or call a tow truck. The less distance that you drive
on your low or flat tire, the better chances your tire has of
being repairable. Once you are able to get to your local
servicing tire dealer, have them dismount the tire fromthe rim and thoroughly inspect the inside of the tire. It is
important to know the difference between a proper tire
repair and an improper one because it can be critical to
you and your vehicle’s safety. An improper repair could
pose a safety threat to you and your family and could
also affect your tire’s manufacturer warranty. Here are
some tips in determining if your damaged tire can be
properly repaired or not:
●Always have the tire removed from the wheel and
inspected before any repair is performed.
●Tires with less than 1.6mm (2/32 of an inch) of tread
should NOT be repaired.
●Never repair a tire with a puncture larger than 6mm
(1/4 of an inch) .
●Repairs should be limited to the tread area only.
●Repairs cannot overlap one another.
●A plug and patch or plug/patch combo should be
used to effectively repair a tire puncture.
●If anything seems questionable at any time during the
repair process, ask your service advisor for more
details and/or call the tire manufacturer to make sure
the tire’s warranty isn’t being voided.
