service NISSAN X-TRAIL 2006 Owner's Guide

A genuine NISSAN Service Manual is the best
source of service and repair information for your
vehicle. Filled with wiring diagrams, illustrations
and step-by-step diagnostic and adjustment
procedures, this manual is the same one used by
the factory trained technicians working at autho-
rized NISSAN dealerships. Also available are
genuine NISSAN Owner’s Manuals, and genu-
ine NISSAN Service and Owner’s Manuals for
older NISSAN models.
To purchase a copy of a genuine NISSAN
Service Manual or Owner’s Manual please con-
tact your nearest NISSAN dealer. For the phone
number and location of a NISSAN Dealer in your
area call the NISSAN Satisfaction Center at
1-800-387-0122 and a bilingual NISSAN rep-
resentative will assist you.IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISIONUnfortunately, accidents do occur. In this unlikely
event, there is some important information you
should know. Many insurance companies rou-
tinely authorize the use of non-genuine collision
parts in order to cut costs, among other reasons.Insist on the use of Genuine NISSAN
Collision Parts!If you want your vehicle to be restored using
parts made to NISSAN’s original exacting speci-
fications — if you want to help it to last and holdits resale value, the solution is simple.Tell your
insurance agent and your repair shop to
only use Genuine NISSAN Collision Parts.
NISSAN does not warrant non-NISSAN parts,
nor does NISSAN’s warranty apply to damage
caused by a non-genuine part.
Using Genuine NISSAN Parts can help protect
your personal safety, preserve your warranty
protection and maintain the resale value of your
vehicle. And if your vehicle was leased, using
Genuine NISSAN Parts may prevent or limit
unnecessary excess wear and tear expenses at
the end of your lease.
NISSAN designs its hoods with crumple zones
to minimize the risk that the hood will penetrate
the windshield of your vehicle in an accident.
Non-genuine (imitation) parts may not provide
such built in safeguards. Also, non-genuine
parts often show premature wear, rust and cor-
rosion.
Why should you take a chance?In over 40 states and certain territories/
provinces, the law says you must be advised if
non-genuine parts are used to repair your ve-
hicle. And some states and provinces have
enacted laws that restrict insurance companies
from authorizing the use of non-genuine collision
parts during the new vehicle warranty. Theselaws help protect you, so you can take action to
protect yourself.
It’s your right!If you should need further information visit us at:
