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
labor rate. A part not being available or a repair not being
complete within 30 days also constitutes an emergency.
You must take the replaced part and paid receipts to an
authorized Nissan dealer for repayment in such emergency
situations.
Maintenance Records
Receipts covering the performance of regular maintenance
are not required but should be kept in the event questions
arise concerning maintenance. The receipts should be
transferred to subsequent owners.If you have Questions

GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
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 or 6 months from date of new vehicle
purchase, whichever occurs fi rst, or tires submitted for
ride disturbance due to damaged wheels or any vehicle
condition.
• Goodyear & Dunlop do 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 Goodyear or
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 Good-
year or Dunlop tires, has been intentionally altered to
change its appearance (e.g., white inlay on a black tire

WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS?Some states and provinces do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
No Representative or Dealer has authority to make any rep-
resentation, promise, or agreement on behalf of Goodyear
or Dunlop except as stated herein.
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail in
service or otherwise become unserviceable due to con-
ditions 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 or
province to province.HOW DO YOU OBTAIN AN ADJUSTMENT?A. You must present the tire to be adjusted to an authorized
Goodyear or Dunlop service facility. Tires replaced on an
adjustment basis become the property of The Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Company, 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 an approved claim form
supplied by an authorized Goodyear or Dunlop service
facility. The form must be fi lled out completely and
signed, where you the owner or your authorized agent
presented the tire for adjustment.
SAFETY WARNINGSProperty damage, serious injury or death may result
from:
• TIRE FAILURE DUE TO UNDERINFLATION/OVER-
LOADING.
Follow the vehicle owner’s manual, tire placard or vehicle
certifi cation label on vehicle.
• EXPLOSION OF TIRE/RIM ASSEMBLY DUE TO
IMPROPER MOUNTING.
Only specially-trained persons should mount tires.
• FAILURE TO MOUNT RADIAL TIRES ON APPROVED
RIMS.
• FAILURE TO DEFLATE SINGLE OR DUAL ASSEM-
BLIES COMPLETELY BEFORE DEMOUNTING.
• TIRE SPINNING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES SUCH
AS SNOW, MUD, ICE, ETC. DO NOT SPIN TIRES
IN EXCESS OF 35 MPH (55 KPH) , AS INDICATED
ON THE SPEEDOMETER. PERSONAL INJURY AND
SEVERE DAMAGE MAY RESULT FROM EXCESSIVE
WHEEL SPINNING, INCLUDING TIRE DISINTEGRA-
TION OR AXLE FAILURE.
WARNING: Vehicle handling, traction, ride comfort
and other performance parameters may be signifi cantly
affected by a change in tire size or type. Before replacing
tires, always consult and follow the vehicle owner’s manual
because some vehicle manufacturers prohibit changing
tire size. When selecting tires that are different from the
original equipment size make certain: (1) The tires have
adequate load carrying capacity based on the vehicle
placard, (2) The tires have suffi cient infl ation pressure
to carry the load and (3) There is proper clearance with
no interference points between the tire and vehicle. The
consumer must be aware to always drive safely and obey (Continued on page 21)

22PROPER TIRE REPAIRNOTE: Goodyear and Dunlop do not warrant any inspection
or repair process. The repair is entirely the responsibility
of the repairer and should be made in accordance with
established Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA)
procedures.THE CONVENIENCE (TEMPORARY)
SPAREThe Convenience (Temporary) Spare is designed, built,
and tested to the high engineering standards set by North
America’s leading car manufacturers and to Goodyear
and Dunlop’s own high standards of quality control. It is
designed to take up a minimum of storage space and, at the
same time, fulfi ll the function of a spare tire when needed.
The spare is kept in its storage space, fully infl ated at 60
psi. To be sure it is always ready for use, the air pressure
should be checked on a regular basis.
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare can be used in
combination with the original tires on your vehicle. You
can expect a tire tread life of up to 3,000 miles (4,800
kilometers) , depending on road conditions and your driv-
ing habits. To conserve tire tread life, return the spare to
the storage area as soon as it is convenient to have the
standard tire repaired or replaced.
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 specifi cally designed for use with high pressure spares
and should never be used with any other type tire.
GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT YOUR OWN
TIRESSerious injury or Death may result from explosion of tire/rim
assembly due to improper mounting procedures. Follow
tire manufacturer’s instructions and match tire diameter 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
fl ap) 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 AXLEFor optimum handling and control, Goodyear and Dunlop
recommend fi tment of four (4) tires of the same type and size
unless otherwise specifi ed by the vehicle manufacturer.
WARNING: Before you replace your tires, always consult
the vehicle owner’s manual and follow the vehicle manufac-
turer’s replacement tire recommendations. Vehicle handling
may be signifi cantly affected by a change in 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
infl ation pressure is selected. Never exceed the maximum
load capacity and infl ation pressure listed on the sidewall of
the tire. Always drive safely and obey all traffi c 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 diam-
eter and load carrying capacity of the Original Equipment
tire. Infl ation pressure may need to be adjusted to avoid
overloading the tire. Consult the Tire & Rim Association
Load and Infl ation Tables, ETRTO or JATMA standards for
correct load and infl ation information.
NEVER FIT TIRES TO A VEHICLE THAT
HAVE LESS LOAD CARRYING CAPACITY
THAN AS REQUIRED BY THE ORIGINAL
EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERExamples: 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 fi tted to the vehicle have a
load carrying capacity equal to or greater than what the
Original Equipment manufacturer specifi es.FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL
GUIDELINESFit newest tires on rear axle. If radials and non-radials must
be fi tted to the same vehicle, fi t radials on rear axle. Never
mix radials and non-radials on the same axle. When fi tting
snow tires or all-season tires to performance vehicles,
always fi t in sets of four. It is not recommended to fi t 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. It is also recommended that the lower speed
rated tires be placed on the front axle regardless of which
axle is driven to help prevent potential oversteer.(Continued on page 23)

GOODYEAR/DUNLOP TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can
cause instability. When changing tire sizes, always consult
Dealer for optimum rim width and carefully check vehicle/
tire clearances.RETREADED TIRESRetreaded 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 certifi cations are voided
for retreaded tires.DO MAINTAIN VEHICLE SUSPENSION,
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE AND
ROTATE YOUR TIRESLack of rotation, worn suspension parts, underinfl ation/
overinfl ation, wheel imbalance and misalignment can cause
vibration or irregular tire wear. Rotate your tires according
to your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations or at
maximum intervals of 6,000 miles/10,000 km.

TIRE SERVICE LIFETires are designed and built to provide many thousands of
miles of excellent service. For maximum benefi t, 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 specifi c tire in chronological time since service condi-
tions vary widely. The serviceability of a tire over time is
a function of the storage and service conditions (infl ation
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
infl ation pressure, damage and treadwear.
