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
5.
WHAT IS NOT COVEREDThese warranties do not cover:
1. Normal maintenance, service and parts replacement
as outlined in the emission control maintenance
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 & MAINTENANCE
GUIDE
.
Misuse, accident or modifi cation.
Improper adjustment or installation of parts during the
performance of maintenance (non-warranty)
services. Tampering with or disconnecting any part
affecting vehicle emissions.
The use of fuel other than that specified
in your OWNER’S MANUAL or fuel with
contaminants which the fuel fi lter is not designed
to remove.
3. In the case of the Performance Warranty, the use
of any non-Nissan part not certifi ed 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 Cali
fornia “smog check” test if such failure is found
not to be covered.
WHAT YOU MUST DOIn 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 DOWarranty repairs will be made at no charge for parts and/
or labor, including diagnosis and tax. Any needed parts
re-placement will be made using new or remanufactured
parts.OTHER WARRANTY TERMSPerformance 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 notifi cation 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 certifi ed part

all traffi c laws. Avoid sudden, sharp turns or lane changes.
Failure to follow any of these warnings may result in loss of
control of the vehicle, leading to an accident and serious
injury or death.TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDEThe easiest way to help ensure satisfactory mileage and
performance from your Goodyear or Dunlop tires is to give
them a simple but frequent (at least monthly) inspection
for proper infl ation, even treadwear, and the presence of
any damage.DO MAINTAIN PROPER INFLATION
PRESSURE IN YOUR TIRESProper infl ation pressure is necessary for optimum tire
performance, safety and fuel economy. To maintain
proper infl ation pressure, frequently (at least monthly)
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 deter-
mine 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 insuf-
fi 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, vehicle certifi cation
label or in the vehicle 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, result-
ing 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 tread life.
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 re-
member 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% 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
personal injury to you or a bystander. Never exceed 35
mph/55 km/h, as indicated on your speedometer. Use a
gentle backward and forward rocking motion to free your
vehicle for continued driving. Never stand near or behind a
tire spinning at high speeds. For example, while attempting
to push a vehicle that is stuck or when an on-the-car spin
balance machine is in use.DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR WEARAlways remove tires from service when they reach two
thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32") remaining tread depth.
All new tires have treadwear indicators which appear as
smooth banks in the tread grooves when they wear to
the two thirty-seconds of an inch (2/32") level. Many wet
weather accidents result from skidding on bald or nearly
bald tires. Excessively worn tires are also more susceptible
to penetrations.DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR DAMAGEFrequent (at least monthly) inspection of your tires for
signs of damage and their general condition is important
for safety. If you have any questions, have your tire Dealer
inspect them. Impacts, penetrations, cracks, knots, bulges
or air loss always require tire removal and expert inspection.
Never perform a temporary repair or use an inner tube as
a substitute for a proper repair. Only qualifi ed persons
should repair tires.

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.

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)
