NISSAN’S CUSTOMER CARE PROGRAM

NISSAN CARES...

Or you can write to Nissan with the above information
at:

Both Nissan and your Nissan dealer are dedicated to serving
all your automotive needs. Your complete satisfaction
with your vehicle and your Nissan dealer are our primary
concerns. Your Nissan dealer is always available to assist
you with all your automobile service requirements.

Nissan North America, Inc.
Consumer Affairs Department
P.O. Box 685003
Franklin, TN 37068-5003

If, however, a situation arises that you believe has not been
addressed to your satisfaction, we ask that you take the
following steps:
STEP 1:
Discuss the situation with the dealership’s manager. If a
problem still exists, contact the dealership’s Consumer
Affairs Manager or owner. They are best equipped to
resolve the matter for you.
STEP 2:
If the concern has still not been addressed to your
satisfaction, please contact our (Nissan’s) Consumer Affairs
Department using our toll free number:

The Consumer Affairs Department will ask for the following
information:
Your name, address, and telephone number
Vehicle identiﬁcation number (on dashboard)
Date of purchase
Current odometer reading
Your Nissan dealer’s name
Details of the concern

STEP 3:
In the event that you believe Nissan has been unable to
satisfactorily address the issue with your vehicle, a special
automotive complaint resolution program called BBB AUTO
LINE is available to you. The BBB AUTO LINE program is
independently operated by the Council of Better Business
Bureaus, Inc. (BBB).
For information about the BBB AUTO LINE in your area,
please call us (Nissan) at the same toll free number (1800-NISSAN-1). We will be happy to provide you with
information about BBB AUTO LINE. Or, you may contact
the BBB directly at:
BBB Auto Line
Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc.
4200 Wilson Blvd.
Arlington, VA 22203
1 (800) 955-5100
If you call the BBB, its staff will take down details of
your complaint by telephone. They will ask for the same
information as described in Step 2.
The BBB AUTO LINE program consists of two parts,
mediation and arbitration. The BBB will attempt to
assist you to resolve the problem during mediation. If
a satisfactory resolution has not been achieved during
mediation, you will have the opportunity to personally
present your case before an impartial arbitrator or threeperson panel. The arbitrator(s) will make a decision after
the arbitration hearing.

The BBB will, in most cases, send you a ﬁnal decision within
forty (40) days (plus 7 if you have not contacted the proper
person from the dealership or Nissan) unless you delay the
process. If you accept the decision, it will be legally binding
on you and Nissan. If you do not accept the decision, it will
not be legally binding on you or Nissan. (However in some
states, if the decision is not accepted, it may be introduced
either by you or by Nissan, as evidence in any potentially
related court action.)
BBB AUTO LINE is an informal dispute settlement mechanism
operated to comply with applicable Federal law and regulations.
In states where BBB AUTO LINE is available, you are required to
use BBB AUTO LINE before exercising rights or seeking remedies
under Title I of the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, 15
U.S.C. §2301, et. seq. If you choose to seek remedies other than
those created by Title I of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, (for
example, under state law), that Federal Act does not require you
to ﬁrst use BBB AUTO LINE. The program is still available to you,
however, and may be of considerable assistance. Some states specify
that informal dispute settlement mechanisms such as BBB AUTO
LINE must be used before you may use state-operated complaint
resolution processes, before you may ﬁle a lawsuit under state
law, and/or before you may have certain other rights or remedies
available under state law. In accordance with those states' laws,
Nissan requires the prior use of BBB AUTO LINE in good faith
before you resort to such other processes, ﬁle a lawsuit, or seek
other remedies provided by state law. Please see the "2008 Nissan
Warranty Information Booklet & 2008 Nissan Owner's Manual" for
additional information.

BBB AUTO LINE may not be available in all states. We, Nissan,
would be pleased to provide you with information about the
availability of BBB AUTO LINE in your state, or call the BBB
AUTO LINE number listed above.
Nissan vehicles less than three years old from date of original
delivery with fewer than 36,000 miles, are eligible for the BBB
AUTO LINE program.

NISSAN’S COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
ASSISTANCE OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY
In our continuing effort to convey our commitment
to service and customer satisfaction, Nissan may
occasionally offer to pay or reimburse for part or all of
the cost of making certain, speciﬁc repairs beyond or
outside of the terms of the warranty for some speciﬁc
vehicle models. (Some states refer to such programs as
“adjustment programs”). In such circumstances Nissan
mails notices to all known registered owners of affected
vehicles. You may additionally inquire of your authorized
Nissan Dealer or of Nissan directly at the number listed
below of the applicability of such programs to your
vehicle.

Nissan may occasionally offer special assistance that may
pay for part or all of vehicle repairs beyond the expiration
of the limited warranty period on a case by case basis.
Should you experience unusual difﬁculties with your vehicle
please discuss the situation with your dealer. If your dealer
is unable to assist you, you may call the Nissan Consumer
Affairs Department at 1-800-NISSAN-1 to discuss your
concern. You will need to provide the Model, Model Year,
VIN (Vehicle Identiﬁcation Number), mileage, maintenance
history, a detailed explanation of the concern, and why you
believe that Nissan should be responsible for the repair.
Your request will be individually investigated and you will
be informed of Nissan’s decision.

Please also review the
"Supplement to the
2008 Nissan Warranty
Information Booklet &
2008 Nissan Owner's
Manual" for important
information concerning
consumer rights in your
state.

OWNER: (1) ownership of the vehicle is transferred from
the original OWNER, and (2) the vehicle is registered
outside of the United States.
■ Your Nissan vehicle is manufactured to meet U.S.
regulations and environmental requirements. With the

ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE SHALL BE LIMITED
TO THE DURATION OF THIS WRITTEN WARRANTY.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages or limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitations or exclusions 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.
Nissan does not authorize any person to create for it any other
warranty, obligation or liability in connection with this vehicle.

Nissan makes available to you, and you are speciﬁcally required
by Federal Law to use BBB AUTO LINE [(800) 955-5100] before
exercising rights or seeking remedies under the Federal MagnusonMoss Warranty Act, 15 U.S.C. §2301, et. seq. You are not required
to ﬁrst use BBB AUTO LINE if you seek remedies not created
by Title I of that Federal law, but are required to ﬁrst use BBB
AUTO LINE if you seek remedies created by state law, including
your state's lemon law, if applicable state law provides for using
a 703 compliant or similar process before ﬁling suit. Please refer
to pp. 2-3 of this booklet and the "Supplement to 2008 Nissan
Warranty Information Booklet & 2008 Nissan Owner's Manual"
for additional information.

CALIFORNIA VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTIES

WHAT IS NOT COVERED

WHAT YOU MUST DO

These 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.

In 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.

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 modiﬁcation.
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 ﬁlter is not designed
to remove.
3. In the case of the Performance Warranty, the use
of any non-Nissan part not certiﬁed 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 NISSAN WILL DO
Warranty 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 TERMS
Performance 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 notiﬁcation 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 certiﬁed part
for maintenance or repair.

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
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.
(Continued on page 13)

CALIFORNIA VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTIES
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
You may obtain further information concerning these
warranties by following the procedure outlined in the
“CUSTOMER CARE” section of this booklet. You may
also contact or report any violations to the Ofﬁce of
Transportation and Air Quality, Vehicle Compliance

other warranty, obligation or liability in connection with
this vehicle.
Warranty for 2008 vehicles certiﬁed for sale in

BFGOODRICH TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
WHO IS COVERED

WHAT BFGOODRICH WILL DO

The owner of a BFGoodrich Passenger or Light Truck tire
which bears the BFGoodrich name and complete DOT
identiﬁcation number.

PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
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 beneﬁcial 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.

WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
BFGoodrich Passenger and Light Truck tires, used in normal
service on the vehicle on which they were originally ﬁtted
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 ﬁrst. 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 COVERED
Tires 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;
• Underinﬂation, overinﬂation, improper maintenance or
other abuse;
• Mechanical irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel
misalignment resulting in uneven or rapid wear;
• Accident, ﬁre, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or
vandalism;
• Ozone or weather cracking.

When more than 2/32nds of an inch of original tread has
been worn (or more than 25%, whichever is most beneﬁcial
to the user) or after 12 months from date of purchase, the
user must pay the cost of a comparable new BFGoodrich
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.

DUNLOP PASSENGER TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
You are eligible for the beneﬁts 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 identiﬁcation 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 ﬁrst 2/32" treadwear or 12
months from date of purchase, whichever occurs ﬁrst,
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
ﬁrst 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.

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 conﬁguration. If a higher priced tire is
accepted as replacement, the difference in price will be
at an additional charge to you.

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
A 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.

LIMITATIONS
This 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 ﬁrst 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 ﬁllers, 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 inﬂation, overloading, high speed
spin-up, misapplication, misuse, negligence, racing,
use of tire chains, improper mounting or demounting,
improper repair, wreck, collision or ﬁre.
• 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 veriﬁed, manufactured
more than four (4) years prior to presentation for
adjustment.
• Loss of time, inconvenience, loss of vehicle use,
incidental or consequential damages.

DUNLOP PASSENGER TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

WHAT ARE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS?

TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE

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),

tire failure cannot occur.
This warranty gives you speciﬁc 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 ﬁlled out completely and signed by you,
the owner of the tire presented for adjustment, or your
authorized agent.

DO MAINTAIN PROPER INFLATION
PRESSURE IN YOUR TIRES
Proper inﬂation pressure is necessary for optimum tire
per-formance, safety and fuel economy. To maintain proper
inﬂation pressure, frequently check tires (when they are
cool) with an accurate tire pressure gauge.*

Underinﬂation 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 ﬂexing and increases rolling resistance, resulting in
heat and mechanical damage. Maintaining proper inﬂation
pressure is the single most important thing you can do to
ensure tire durability and maximum treadlife.
Overinﬂation increases stiffness, which may deteriorate
ride and generate unwanted vibration. Overinﬂation also
increases the chances of impact damage.

DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLE
For example, it is difﬁcult to tell just by looking at radial
tires whether they are underinﬂated.
Furthermore, when operating a vehicle equipped with
radial tires, it is difﬁcult to notice when a tire has gone
ﬂat or nearly ﬂat since the “feel” of the vehicle does not
change signiﬁcantly.
*Evidence of air loss or repeated underinﬂation
always requires expert inspection to determine the
source of leakage and tire removal to determine
repairability. To avoid injury, NEVER attempt to reinﬂate
a tire that has been run severely underinﬂated.
Progressive air loss may result from punctures, cuts, curbing,
impacts or partial bead unseating. Some ﬁtment causes for
air loss are (1) incomplete bead seating, (2) bead tearing
caused by a machine tool due to insufﬁcient 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 inﬂation pressure at the level
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer as shown
on the vehicle placard or in the owner’s manual:

Check 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 ﬁt 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 ﬁt P-Metric tires to
light trucks that specify LT-type replacement tires.

DON'T SPIN YOUR TIRES EXCESSIVELY
Avoid 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

(Continued on page 21)

DUNLOP PASSENGER TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

personal injury to you or a bystander. Never exceed 35
mph/60 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 speed as, for example, while attempting
to push a vehicle that is stuck or when an on-the-car spin
balance machine is in use.

PROPER TIRE REPAIR

RETREADED TIRES

NOTE: Dunlop does 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.

Retreaded passenger and light truck tires are not warranted
by Dunlop for any reason. Dunlop speed ratings and U.S.
Department of Transportation test compliance certiﬁcations
are voided for retreaded tires.

DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT
YOUR OWN TIRES

DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR WEAR

Serious injury may result from explosion of tire/rim
assembly due to improper mounting procedures. Follow
tire manufacturer’s instructions and match tire diameter
to rim 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 “ORing”) to aid bead seating. Only specially trained persons
should mount tires.

DO MAINTAIN VEHICLE SUSPENSION,
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE
AND ROTATE YOUR TIRES

Always 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.

SIDEWALL TREATMENTS
Dunlop sidewalls are specially compounded to resist ozone
cracking or weather-cracking.
Use a mild soap solution to clean sidewalls, white striping
or lettering, and rinse off with plain water. Instruct service
per-sonnel and customers never to apply any other material
to enhance sidewall appearance. These may degrade rubber
and remove inherent ozone resistance.

DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR DAMAGE
Frequent 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 innertube as a substitute for a
proper repair. Only qualiﬁed persons should repair tires.

DON’T MIX TIRES OF DIFFERENT SIZES
AND TYPES ON THE SAME AXLE
For optimum handling and control, Dunlop recommends
ﬁtment of four (4) tires of the same type and size unless
otherwise speciﬁed by the vehicle manufacturer.

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 recommendations or at
maximum intervals of 6,000 miles/10,000 km.

SPARE TIRES IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
•
•

FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL
GUIDELINES:
Fit newest tires on 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 for four. Do not ﬁt tires with different
speed ratings.
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.

•

Limit vehicle speed when using the lightweight
temporary spare tire to 50 mph/80 km/h or less.
Check the inﬂation pressure before using and at least
weekly. Maintain cold tire pressure in accordance with
that molded on the tire sidewall or found in your vehicle
owner’s manual. When inﬂating or adding air to lightweight temporary spare tire, be very careful, since the
smaller tire volume can gain pressure quickly. Leave
valve core in place and add inﬂation air in short bursts.
Check the pressure often with an in-line or hand gauge
until the speciﬁed pressure is reached.
The lightweight temporary spare tire may lower ground
clear-ance when used. Reduce speed and avoid driving
over large obstacles or through chuckholes and other
road hazards.
Check your car owner’s manual for other special
clearance precautions when using the lightweight

temporary spare tire provided in your vehicle.
Because your lightweight temporary spare tire was
speciﬁcally designed for your car, it should not be used
on any other vehicle.
Do not use snow chains on your lightweight temporary
spare tire. This could cause damage to your vehicle.
Your lightweight temporary spare has very limited wear
potential (up to 300 miles/500 km).
In order to conserve tire treadlife, the lightweight
temporary spare tire should be returned to your trunk
as soon as the standard tire has been repaired or
replaced. Never use the spare if treadwear indicator
(TWI) bars are exposed or it is worn to the last 2/32"
tread depth.
Do not use your original equipment lightweight
temporary spare tire on any other than its original
equipment rim. The replacement lightweight temporary
spare tire must match the original equipment tire
removed from your lightweight temporary spare rim.
Check the tire for the lightweight temporary spare tire
size marking designation and compare size markings
with those found on both your original lightweight
temporary spare and rim.

NOTE: Your original equipment lightweight temporary
spare tire and rim combination is not the same size as the
other tires and rims with which your vehicle is equipped.
Standard tires, snow tires, conventional wheel covers or
rim rings should not be ﬁtted to your lightweight temporary
spare tire rim or assembly.
• Improper mounting can cause tire/rim assembly
explosion and serious injury. Tire Fitters: Follow tire
manufacturer’s instructions and match tire diameter to
rim diameter. Mount the lightweight temporary spare
tire only on a rim originally ﬁtted with a temporary spare
of the same size. Lubricate beads and rim contact
surfaces. Lock assembly on mounting machine or
place in a safety cage. STAND BACK; inﬂate in short

bursts with extension hose, clip-on chuck on in-line
gauge. Never exceed 40 psi to seat beads or use
a volatile substance or a rubber “donut” to aid bead
seating. Only specially trained persons should mount
lightweight temporary spare tires.
Dunlop brand tires are serviced by The Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Company and Goodyear Canada Inc. through
authorized Dunlop outlets.
You must go to an authorized Dunlop outlet for replacement
tires and all warranty service.

GENERAL TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
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 General-brand original
equipment tires and is a promise of replacement under
certain speciﬁed conditions. This Policy applies to tires in
normal service displaying adjustable conditions (see Section
4) and does not require 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 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 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 included
free of charge. Owner pays all
applicable taxes.
Light Truck Tire First 12 Months or First 3/32nds,

Serva-Spare
Tires

(whichever comes ﬁrst).
Mounting & balancing included
free of charge. Owner pays all
applicable taxes. (Excluding F.E.T.)
No Time Limit First 1/32nd
Mounting & balancing included
free of charge. Owner pays all
applicable taxes.

(B) Pro Rata Replacement Policy:
Passenger/Light Truck Tires
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 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 (including
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 satisfactory proof-of-purchase date is not
provided, the D.O.T. certiﬁcation date of manufacture (tire
serial number) will be used.
** A “comparable” new General brand tire may be either the
same tire line or the same basic construction but with a
different sidewall or tread conﬁguration. If a higher-priced
tire is accepted as replacement, the owner will pay the
difference in price. Any tire replaced under this Policy will
be covered by the current General Tire Limited Warranty
and Adjustment Policy

3. HOW A PRO RATA PRICE IS
CALCULATED
The replacement tire price will be determined by multiplying
the percentage of the usable tread worn by the Dealers
Selling Price (excluding all applicable taxes) at the time
of the adjustment or the 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 Ajustment
Base Price is intended to fairly represent a Dealer's Selling
Price for the same or comparable tire.

(Continued on page 24)

Important Tire Safety Information in this booklet may
result in tire failure or explosion causing serious personal
injury or death.

GOODYEAR TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

ELIGIBILITY

COVERAGE (PRORATED ADJUSTMENT)

You are eligible for the beneﬁts of this policy if you are the
owner or authorized agent of the owner of new Goodyear
highway auto and light truck tires bearing Department of
Transportation prescribed tire identiﬁcation numbers, and
if your tires have been used only on the vehicle on which
they were originally installed according to the vehicle
manufacturer’s recommendations.

Tires not eligible for no charge adjustment that do not
deliver satisfactory service due to a workmanship or material
related condition will be replaced with comparable new
Goodyear tires on a pro rata basis. The replacement price
will be calculated by multiplying the current Goodyear
“predetermined price for adjustment” or current advertised
price at adjustment location (whichever is lower) by the
percentage of usable original tread that has been worn off at
the time of the adjustment. You pay for mounting, balancing,
and an amount equal to the full current Federal Excise Tax
applicable to the comparable new replacement tire.

COVERAGE (REPLACEMENT FREE)
Any new Goodyear highway radial auto tire or radial light
truck tire, except Unisteel radial light truck tires, covered
by this policy, that does not deliver satisfactory highway
service due to a workmanship or material related condition
(see Adjustment Policy Limitations) during the ﬁrst 25% of
usable treadwear, or twelve months from date of purchase,
whichever comes ﬁrst, will be replaced with a comparable
new Goodyear tire without charge. Mounting and balancing
are included.
Any Goodyear temporary spare tire that does not deliver
satisfactory highway service due to a workmanship or
material related condition during the ﬁrst 50% of usable
tread depth (1/32 of an inch) will be replaced with a
comparable new Goodyear temporary spare tire without
charge. Mounting is included. After the ﬁrst 50% of
usable treadwear, you pay only an adjustment charge for
the treadwear received, plus any mounting charge.

The “predetermined price for adjustment,” available at
all Goodyear Auto Service Centers and participating
dealers, fairly represents the actual regular retail selling
price of the comparable tire at the time of adjustment. If
a “predetermined price for adjustment” is not available,
adjustment will be based on the price at which you are
entitled to buy at the time of adjustment.
A tire has delivered its full original tread life and this
warranty ends when the treadwear indicators become
visible, regardless of age or mileage.

DEFINITION OF COMPARABLE TIRE
A “comparable” new Goodyear tire may either be the
same line of tire or, in the event the disabled tire is out of
production, the same basic construction and quality with
different sidewall or tread conﬁguration.
If a higher priced tire is accepted as replacement, the
difference in price will be additional.
Any tire replacement under this warranty will be covered by
the Goodyear warranty in effect at time of replacement.
ADJUSTMENT POLICY LIMITATIONS
This limited warranty is applicable only in the United States
and Canada.
No representative or dealer has authority to make any
representation, promise, or agreement on behalf of
Goodyear, except as stated herein.
The following are not covered by this policy:
•

Goodyear does not warrant and will not give credit in
any adjustment transaction for any kind of material added
to the tire after leaving a Goodyear factory, nor will it
adjust any tire which has failed as a result of adding
any such material. (Example: Tire ﬁllers, sealants, or
balancing substances.)

original equipment for adjustable conditions as follows:
1. What is covered by the warranty:
Toyo brand passenger and light truck tires are warranted
for adjustable conditions other than those listed under
“What Is Not Covered” for the new original usable
tread down to the treadwear indicators (2/32nd"
tread remaining) or for 60 months from the date of
manufacture, whichever comes ﬁrst. The DOT serial
number on the sidewall of the tire will be used to
determine date of manufacture. This time limit does
not apply to Toyo temporary spare tires. Presence of
a manufacturing anomaly is not necessarily required to
qualify for adjustment.
(A) When less than 25% of the original usable tread
of a radial tire, or less than 50% of the original
usable tread of a temporary spare tire has been
worn, the tire will be replaced with a new Toyo tire
free of charge, including mounting and balancing.
(Adjustments for ride disturbances or vibration,
which cannot be corrected by balancing are only
adjustable in the ﬁrst 25% of usable tread.) Service
charges or any applicable taxes are payable by
you.
(B) When more than 25% of the original usable tread
of a radial tire, or more than 50% of the original
usable tread of a temporary spare tire has been worn
the user must pay for the cost of a replacement
tire based on the amount of tread used. This is

calculated by dividing the number of 32nds of an
inch used by the original usable tread depth and
multiplying by the actual current dealer selling price.
Service charges or any applicable taxes are payable
by you.
2. What is not covered by the warranty:
(A) Mileage is not warranted.
(B) Damage due to road hazards whether repairable
or not (such as cuts, snags, bruises, impact or
punctures, improper tire chains).
(C) Irregular tread wear or rapid tread wear due to failure
to rotate the tires at recommended intervals, or from
vehicle misalignment.
(D) Damage resulting from improper repair materials
or procedures.
(E) Damage from incorrect mounting or dismounting
of the tire, incorrect wheel size, or failure to balance
the tires.
(F) Damage or uneven tread wear from incorrect
inﬂation, overloading, ﬁre, theft, defective mechanical
conditions such as brakes, shocks, rims, wreck or
collision, and willful damage or abuse.
(G) Damage, corrosion, or rubber deterioration due to
the use of oil-based chemicals, water-based sealers,
balancing substances, or ﬂammable gases.
(H) Ride, balance, or vibration complaints after the ﬁrst
25% of tread wear.
(I) Minor surface blemishes due to weathering and
normal wear and tear which do not affect the
serviceability of the tire.

(J) Any tire which has been run to destruction while
ﬂat.
(K) Tires used in commercial service.
(L) Claims after 5 years from the date the tire was
manufactured.
(M) Tires on vehicles normally operated outside the
United States.
(N) Claims made by anyone other than the original retail
purchaser of the vehicle.
(O) Tires with the D.O.T. identiﬁcation number removed
or rendered illegible, or branded "used".
(P) Any claim where the tire is not presented and
available for Toyo's inspection.
(Q) Any tire for which mileage and tire rotation records
are not available or veriﬁable.
(R) Any tires worn beyond the wear bars (less than
2/32" remaining tread).
(S) Temporary spare tires used at speeds over 50 miles
per hour.
(T) Dealer service charges are not covered for routine or
required maintenance of the tires such as alignments
or rotation.

CONSUMER’S OBLIGATION
The consumer is responsible for proper tire care and
maintenance:
(1) Tires must be rotated every 7,500 miles or sooner
if upon inspection, irregular or erratic tread wear is
beginning to appear. Keep a record of the rotation.
(2) The consumer must maintain the recommended

(Continued on page 31)

TOYO TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
air pressure in the tires according to Nissan’s
recommendation.
(3) The consumer must maintain the vehicle’s alignment
in accordance with Nissan’s speciﬁcations.
(4) The load capacity of the tires must not be exceeded.
(5) The tire’s maximum speed capability must not be
exceeded.

TO MAKE A CLAIM UNDER THIS
LIMITED WARRANTY
In the event that you make a claim under the terms of the
warranty, you must:
(1) Present your tires, and your vehicle to an authorized Toyo
Dealer. (Call consumer relations at (800) 442-8696
or check dealer locator at http://www.toyo.com for the

IMPORTANT TIRE SAFETY INFORMATION*
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail due
to improper maintenance or service factors. This could
create a risk of property damage and serious or fatal injury.
Disregarding any of the safety precautions and instructions
contained in this manual may result in tire failure or explosion
causing serious personal injury or death. For your safety,
comply with the following:

CHECKING PRESSURE WHEN
TIRES ARE HOT
If you must add air when your tires are hot, add four pounds
per square inch (psi) (28kPa) above the recommended
cold air pressure. Recheck the inﬂation pressure when
the tire is cold.
For Example Only:

TIRE INFLATION
Keep tires inﬂated to the pressures recommended on
the tire data placard. (See your OWNER’S MANUAL for
location.) These inﬂation pressures must be maintained as
a minimum. However, do not exceed the maximum pressure
rating indicated on the tire sidewall.
CHECK INFLATION PRESSURES ON ALL YOUR TIRES,
INCLUDING THE SPARE, WHEN TIRES ARE COLD, AT
LEAST ONCE A MONTH BEFORE DRIVING.
Failure to maintain correct inﬂation may result in improper
vehicle handling and may cause rapid and irregular tire
wear, sudden tire destruction, loss of vehicle control and
serious personal injury. Therefore, inﬂation pressures
should be checked at least once a month and always prior
to long distance trips.
Pressures should be checked when tires are cold. The
tires are cold when your vehicle has been driven less
than a mile at moderate speed after being stopped for
three or more hours.

Gauge reading of hot tire: 32psi
If recommended pressure is: 30psi
Desired gauge reading of hot tire 30 + 4psi = 34psi
Check cold pressures as soon as possible, at least by
the next day. Never “bleed” air from hot tires as your tire
will be underinﬂated. Use an accurate tire gauge to check
pressures. Never allow children to air up tires.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE
CORRECT INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS.
For replacement tires, the correct inﬂation pressure will
be provided by your tire dealer, if not, refer to the vehicle
decal.
Underinﬂation produces extreme ﬂexing of the sidewalls and
builds up heat which may result in sudden tire destruction
and serious personal injury. Overinﬂation can cause the tire
to be more susceptible to impact damage.

LOAD LIMITS
DO NOT OVERLOAD. DRIVING ON ANY OVERLOADED
TIRE IS DANGEROUS. Never load your tires beyond the
load carrying limits molded into the sidewall of the tires or
the maximum vehicle load limit as shown on the vehicle
tire data placard, whichever is less. Overloading causes
heat to build up which can lead to sudden tire failure and

serious personal injury.

SPEED LIMITS AND SPEED RATED
TIRES
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS.
Never operate your vehicle in excess of lawful speeds or
the maximum speeds justiﬁed by the driving conditions.
Excessive speeds or racing can cause heat buildup in a tire
leading to possible failure and serious personal injury.
Correct inﬂation pressure is especially important.
However, at high speeds, even with the correct inﬂation
pressure, a road hazard, for example, is more difﬁcult to
avoid and if contact is made, there is a greater chance of
causing tire damage than at the lower speed. Moreover,
driving at high speed reduces the reaction time available
to avoid accidents and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. If
you see any damage to a tire or wheel, replace it with your
spare tire and see your tire dealer at once.
Tire speed ratings do not imply that a vehicle can be safely
driven at the maximum speed for which the tire is rated. In
addition, some damages or improper repairs may cause
a speed-rated tire to lose its speed rating. Exceeding the
tire’s maximum speed rating will cause the tire to build up
excessive heat which can cause tire damage that could
result in sudden tire destruction and rapid air loss. Failure to
control a vehicle with sudden air loss can lead to an accident.
In any case, you should not exceed reasonable speeds as
indicated by the legal limits and driving conditions.

your tire manufacturer for maximum speed ratings if your
vehicle capability exceeds this speed.
**Z (or ZR) rated tires are designed for use on
cars with maximum speed capabilities in excess
of 149 mph (240 km/h). Consult your tire manufacturer
for maximum speed capabilities.
†
Although a tire may be speed rated, we do not endorse the
operation of any vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful manner.

Speed ratings are based on laboratory tests which relate
to performance on the road, but are not applicable if tires
are underinﬂated, overloaded, worn out, damaged, altered,
improperly repaired, or retreaded. Furthermore, tire speed
ratings do not imply that vehicles can be safely driven at
the maximum speed for which the tire is rated, particularly
under adverse road and weather conditions or if the vehicle
has unusual characteristics. Most highway passenger tires
that do not have a speed symbol in the sidewall have a
maximum speed rating of 105 mph. Light truck highway
tires that do not have a speed symbol on the sidewall of
the tire have a maximum speed of 87 mph. Some light
truck tires may have higher maximum speeds; consult
your tire dealer. The speed and other ratings of retreaded
tires are assigned by the retreader and voids the original
manufacturer’s ratings.
IMPORTANT: In order to maintain the speed capability
of the vehicle, replacement tires must have speed ratings
equal to or higher than those ﬁtted as original equipment
(as indicated on the vehicle placard or owners manual).
If tires with lower speed ratings are ﬁtted, the speed
capability of the vehicle will be lowered to the maximum
speed capability of the replacement tire as indicated on
the above table.
Remember...High speed driving can be dangerous and
may be damaging to your tires.
And...When driving at highway speeds, correct inﬂation
pressure is especially important.
Contact the manufacturer of your tires for their position
and assistance on the repair of speed-rated tires. When
you are replacing tires that have a speed rating, you must
replace with tires of the same or higher speed rating if the
speed capability of the vehicle is to be maintained.

VISUAL INSPECTION
INSPECT YOUR TIRES. DO NOT DRIVE ON A
DAMAGED TIRE OR WHEEL. Check your tires frequently
for scrapes, bulges, separations, cuts, snags, cracks,
penetrations or excessive localized wear from hard braking.
Also check for abnormal tire wear, particularly on the edges
of the tire tread which may be caused by misalignment or
underinﬂation. Impacts can damage the inner portion of the
tire without being visible on the outside. If damage can be
seen on the tires or wheels, or if you suspect that possible
impact damage may have occurred, replace with spare at
once and have your tire store or dealer inspect your tires
immediately. Use of a damaged tire could result in tire
destruction. When inspecting your tires, including the spare,
check your air pressures. If your pressure check indicates
that one of your tires has lost pressure of two pounds or
more, look for signs of penetrations, valve leakage, or wheel
damage that may account for the air loss.
All tires will wear out faster when subjected to high speeds
as well as hard cornering, rapid starts, sudden stops,
frequent driving on roads which are in poor condition, and
off-road use. Roads with holes and rocks or other objects
can damage tires and cause misalignment of your vehicle.
When you drive on such roads, drive on them carefully
and slowly, and before driving again at normal or highway
speeds, examine your tires for any damage, such as cuts,
bulges, penetrations, unusual wear patterns, etc.

(Continued on page 35)

* Provided by and published at the request of the tire
manufacturers/warrantors.

IMPORTANT TIRE SAFETY INFORMATION*
TREAD WEAR INDICATORS (WEAR BARS): Tires
contain Tread Wear Indicators (Wear Bars) in the
grooves of the tire tread which show up when only
2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) of tread is remaining. At
this stage, your tires must be replaced. Tires worn
beyond this stage are dangerous.

HAZARDS
Objects in the road that threaten a tire should be safely
avoided. These objects are potholes, glass, metal, rocks,
wood debris and the like. Unavoidable contact should
prompt a thorough tire inspection.
You may not always recall hitting an object that can damage
or injure your tires. If while driving your vehicle experiences
any unusual vibrations, ride disturbance or noise and/or
you suspect that possible damage to the tires or vehicle
has occurred. DO NOT JAM OR LOCK YOUR BRAKES!
Rather reduce your speed and drive with caution until you
can safely pull off the road. Stop and inspect the tires. If
the tire is underinﬂated or damaged, deﬂate, remove the
tire and rim assembly and replace it with your spare. If you
cannot detect a cause, have the vehicle towed to the nearest
vehicle or tire dealer to have the vehicle inspected.

REPAIRING, MOUNTING AND
DEMOUNTING OF TIRES
Do not attempt to repair, mount or demount a
tire yourself. Tire changing can be dangerous and
must be done by professionally trained persons using
proper tools and procedures as speciﬁed by the Rubber
Manufacturers Association (RMA). Follow these
mounting recommendations. Your tires should be
mounted on wheels of correct size and type and which are
in good, clean condition. Bent, chipped or rusted wheels
may cause tire damage. The inside of the tire must be free
* Provided by and published at the request of the tire
manufacturers/warrantors.

from foreign materials. Have your dealer check the
wheels before mounting new tires. Mismatched tires
and rims can explode during mounting. Also, mismatched
tires and rims can result in dangerous tire failure on the
road. If a tire is mounted by error on the wrong-sized rim,
do not remount it on the proper rim - scrap it. It may be
damaged internally (which is not externally visible) by being
dangerously stretched and could fail on the highway.
Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires are mounted,
have new valves of the correct type installed. Tubeless tires
must be mounted only on wheels designed for tubeless
tires, i.e., wheels which have safety humps or ledges.
Never perform a temporary repair, use an innertube or
inject sealant as a permanent substitute for a proper
repair. Only qualiﬁed persons should repair tires.
Be sure that all your valves have suitable valve caps. This
will keep valve cores clean and clear and guard against
leakage.
REPAIRS - WHENEVER POSSIBLE, SEE A TIRE
DEALER AT ONCE. Some tire manufacturers do not
warrant any inspection or repair process. The repair is
entirely the responsibility of the repairer. Punctures in the
tread of a passenger tire which do not exceed 1/4 of an inch
(6mm) in diameter can usually be repaired by following the
Rubber Manufacturer's Association (RMA) Passenger and
Light Truck Repair procedures. Contact the manufacturer of
your tires for its position and assistance as to the acceptable
location for a proper repair and the repair of speed rated
tires. Do not use plug repairs. They may cause further
damage to the tire. They are not always air tight and
the plug may fail. Do not exceed posted speed limits on
any repaired tire. Certain tire manufacturers speed ratings

are voided if the tire is repaired.
Although a tire was properly repaired, internal structural
damage resulting from the puncture may have occurred.
Sometime later the damage may cause the tire to be
removed from service.
If the tire has a puncture in the tread which exceeds 1/4 inch
(6mm), the tire must be replaced. If any tire has sustained a
puncture, have the tire inspected internally by a tire dealer
for possible damage that may have occurred.
Improper mounting and inﬂation procedures can cause an
explosion of the tire/rim assembly. Only specially trained
persons should perform these tasks. Contact your tire store
or dealer for assistance.
CAUTION - Never, under any circumstance,
introduce a ﬂammable substance into a tire.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING
Wheel alignment and balancing are important for safety
and maximum mileage from your tires. Check how your
tires are wearing at least once a month. If your tires are
wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tire
wearing faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect
excessive vibration, your vehicle may be out of alignment
or balance. These conditions not only shorten the life of
your tires, but adversely affect the handling characteristics
of your vehicle which could be dangerous. If you detect
irregular wear or vibration, have your alignment and
balance checked immediately. Tires which have been run
underinﬂated will show more wear on the shoulders than
in the center of the tread.

(Continued on page 36)

IMPORTANT TIRE SAFETY INFORMATION*

HARD BRAKING

WORN TIRES

You must inspect your tires after any hard braking
circumstances or after tires have slid on the pavement. This
can cause a ﬂat spot in a section of the tire tread.

Never drive on worn tires. Tires should be replaced by trained
personnel when 2/32nds of an inch tread depth remains,
as indicated by the tread wear indicators molded into the
tread grooves. In most states, it is illegal to drive with less
than 2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining.

TIRE SPINNING
Never spin your tires above a speedometer reading of 35
mph (55 km/h) if your vehicle becomes stuck. The centrifugal
force generated by the free spinning tire/wheel assembly
may cause a sudden tire explosion, resulting in vehicle
damage and/or serious personal injury or death. Never
allow anyone to stand near or behind a tire spinning at
high speed while attempting to push a vehicle that is stuck.
When in mud, sand, snow, ice or other slippery conditions,
do not indulge in excessive wheel spin. In such conditions,
with automatic transmission vehicles, by accelerating the
engine excessively, it is possible to spin one of the drive
tires beyond its speed capability. This is also true when
balancing a drive tire/wheel assembly using the engine of
the vehicle to spin the wheel.

TIRE TREAD
Tires must be replaced when the depth of the tread
reaches 2/32 inch (1.6 mm). Tires are manufactured with
tread wear indicators molded into the tire grooves which
indicate tread wearout. As tires approximate 2/32 inch (1.6
mm) wearout, the tread gauge becomes thinner and more
vulnerable to the effects of road hazards. Also, worn tires
are more subject to hydroplaning, which can cause loss
of control. Therefore, visual tire inspection becomes more
crucial as the tires wear out.

TIRE MIXING
For best performance select tires similar in size and load
rating to the original equipment tires. It is recommended
that the same size and type of tire be used on all four
wheel positions. In certain tires, casing ply material and
ply construction may vary as indicated on the sidewall of
the tire. When changing or replacing tires, it is preferred
that all four tires are the same construction type (i.e., High
Performance, All Season, Mud & Snow) and construction
(Radial or Bias Ply). Before mixing tires of different types on
a vehicle in any conﬁguration, be sure to check the vehicle
owner’s manual for its recommendations.
Tires which meet the Rubber Manufacturer's Association
(RMA) deﬁnition of mud and snow tires are marked M/S,
M+S, M&S. On such tires, this designation is molded
into the sidewall. Tires without this notation are not
recommended for mud and/or snow driving.
If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select tires
equivalent in size and load rating to the original equipment
tires. Always ﬁt performance snow tires in sets of four
(4) for optimum mud & snow traction and maintenance
of vehicle handling characteristics. If you do not, it may
adversely affect the safety and handling of your vehicle.
It is also important to check the vehicle owner’s manual
before mixing or matching tires on 4-wheel drive vehicles
as this may require special precautions.

Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for more information
on tire replacement precautions.

TIRE ROTATION
Tires on your Nissan vehicle should be rotated every 7,500
miles or as irregular wear develops. If irregular wear becomes
apparent or if the wear rate on the tires is perceptibly uneven,
the tires should be rotated in such a way to alleviate the
problem. Check your vehicle for any mechanical problems
and correct if necessary. Any rotation pattern or procedure
may be followed including those indicated in the Owner’s
Manual. Some tires have arrows on the sidewall showing
the direction in which the tire should turn. When rotating
this type of tire, care must be taken to maintain the proper
turning direction as indicated by the arrows. Some vehicles
have different tire sizes speciﬁed for front and rear axles.
Tires on these vehicles should not be rotated side to side
(unless they are directional). Where a temporary type
spare tire is available, it should not be included in the tire
rotation schedule. Such tires are intended for temporary
use only. Whenever only two tires are replaced, the new
tires should be put on the rear axle of vehicles equipped
with the same size tire on all four wheel positions.

manufacturers/warrantors.

IMPORTANT TIRE SAFETY INFORMATION*
TRAILER TOWING
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should see a tire dealer
for advice concerning the correct size of tire and pressure.
Tire size and pressure will depend on the type and size
of the trailer and hitch utilized, but in no case must the
maximum cold inﬂation pressure or the tire load rating be
exceeded. Check the tire decal and your Owner’s Manual
for further recommendations on trailer towing.

TIRE ALTERATIONS
Do not perform any alterations on your tires. Alterations may
prevent proper performance, leading to tire damage, which
can result in an accident. Tires which become unserviceable
due to alterations such as truing, whitewall inlays, addition
of balancing or sealant liquids, may be excluded from
warranty coverage. Consult your tire warranty.

HIGH PRESSURE TEMPORARY SPARE
TIRES
1)

The high-pressure spare tire in your Nissan vehicle is
designed for temporary use only and must not be used
continually as a regular tire. The standard tire should
be repaired and/or replaced as soon as possible.
Avoid driving over obstacles that may damage the tire
through impact or cutting, such as potholes, glass,
metal, etc.

Speed must not exceed 50MPH (80km/h) for nonspeed-rated temporary spare tires.
4) Temporary spare tires have a limited treadlife which
can vary depending on road conditions and your
driving habits. The spare tire should be returned to
the trunk as soon as the standard tire can be repaired
or replaced.
5) Because the high-pressure spare tire was speciﬁcally
designed for your car, it should not be used on any
other vehicle.
6) Do not use snow chains on your high-pressure spare.
This could cause damage to your vehicle.
7) Check the tire’s cold inﬂation pressure monthly and
maintain at 60psi (4.2kg/cm2) even when not in
use.
8) The high-pressure spare tire should not be used with
any other rim nor should standard tires, wheel covers,
or trim rings be used on the high-pressure spare tire
rim which was originally installed.
9) When the tread wear indicator appears on the tire,
replace it only with the same type spare tire.
10) Do not enter an automatic carwash with a temporary
spare tire ﬁtted.
11) Do not make a sharp turn or apply the brakes suddenly
when driving on a high-pressure temporary spare.
Note: When using any temporary type spare tire, be sure to
follow the vehicle Owner’s Manual instructions.

TIRE STORAGE
All tires should be stored in a cool dry place indoors so that
there is no danger of water collecting inside them.
When tires are stored they should be stored in a cool place
away from sources of heat and ozone such as hot pipes
and electric generators. Be sure that surfaces on which
tires are stored are clean and free from grease, gasoline
or other substances which could deteriorate the rubber.
(Tires exposed to these materials during storage or driving
could be subject to sudden failure.)
To Avoid Damage to your Tires and
Possible Accident:
• Check tire pressure at least once a month when
tires are cold and before long trips.
• Do not underinﬂate/overinﬂate.
• Do not overload.
• Drive at moderate speeds, observe legal limits.
• Avoid driving over potholes, obstacles, curbs or
edges of pavement.
• Avoid excessive wheel spinning.
• If you see any damage to a tire, replace with spare
and see the tire manufacturer’s dealer or your
Nissan dealership.

is multiplied by the customer pay percentage. For example,
should the battery fail after 40 months of service you would
pay 50% of the suggested retail price of the new battery.

replace the battery if it was not originally installed in your
vehicle by an authorized Nissan Dealer.

GENUINE NISSAN PARTS AND ACCESSORIES

Nissan North America, Inc. and your Nissan dealer
realize that there are numerous sources for parts and
accessories in today’s automotive parts aftermarket.
However, Genuine Nissan parts and accessories
are designed and manufactured to meet the same
factory ﬁt, performance and quality speciﬁcations of
your Nissan vehicle.
The Parts Department of your Nissan dealership maintains
a complete inventory of high quality Genuine Nissan
new and remanufactured replacement parts - parts that
are backed by one of the most comprehensive parts
warranties available in the automotive industry today.
To ensure that your warranty, maintenance and repair
parts requirements are satisﬁed as quickly as possible,
Nissan and the Nissan dealer organization maintain
a combined inventory consisting of several hundred
million dollars worth of readily available parts and
popular accessories. In the event a critical part is
required that is not stocked by your local dealership,
Nissan’s ordering system includes a computerized
means of ensuring the quickest possible shipment to
Nissan dealers by the use of expeditious handling and
premium transportation - all of which is supported by
one of the most extensive and efﬁcient parts distribution
systems in the United States.
Two Nissan North America, Inc. Regional Parts Distribution
Centers stock approximately 32,000 different parts
and each of five additional Area Parts Distribution

Centers service over 61,000 part numbers. Nissan’s
Master Parts Distribution Center in Compton, California
maintains an inventory of 150,000 low volume part
numbers and services all Nissan dealers nationally.
All Nissan parts distribution facilities are linked via
a sophisticated computer search and order system
to ensure coordinated parts ordering, inventory and
distribution of available parts.

The use of replacement parts which are not equivalent
to genuine Nissan parts may reduce the effectiveness
of the emission control system.

The Nissan name represents quality and a commitment
to your satisfaction as a valued customer. So when
you select parts or accessories for your Nissan vehicle,
see your Nissan dealer. Only Nissan builds Nissan
replacement parts and accessories to exact factory
speciﬁcations.

MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF
THE EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES AND SYSTEMS
MAY BE PERFORMED BY ANY AUTOMOTIVE
REPAIR ESTABLISHMENT OR INDIVIDUAL USING
ANY REPLACEMENT PART.

RECOMMENDATION FOR MAINTENANCE
SERVICE AND REPLACEMENT PARTS
FOR YOUR VEHICLE’S EMISSION
SYSTEM
To assure best results and to maintain the original
quality built into the emission control systems, it is
recommended that genuine Nissan parts be used when
servicing or repairing the systems. THE WARRANTY
OBLIGATIONS ARE NOT DEPENDENT UPON THE USE
OF ANY PARTICULAR BRAND OF REPLACEMENT
PARTS AND THE OWNER MAY ELECT TO USE
NON-GENUINE NISSAN PARTS FOR REPLACEMENT
PURPOSES.

Therefore, if it becomes necessary to use other than
genuine Nissan parts, the owner should assure himself
that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to
be equivalent in quality to genuine Nissan parts.

HOWEVER, UNLESS OTHERWISE AUTHORIZED BY
LAW, WARRANTY SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED
BY AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER.
The emission standards may be satisﬁed by having
the vehicle inspected periodically and by following the
requirements outlined in your OWNER’S MANUAL and
your NISSAN SERVICE MAINTENANCE GUIDE.

CORROSION PROTECTION GUIDELINES
In order to help protect your vehicle against corrosion,
it is important that you care for your vehicle regularly,
following these suggestions:

■ If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the paint,
touch them up immediately.

■ Wash your vehicle regularly using cold clean water and
a mild vehicle wash soap.

■ If you do much driving on gravel roads, consider installing mud or stone shields behind each wheel.

■ If insects, tar or other similar deposits have accumulated
on your vehicle, wash it as soon as
possible.

■ If your Nissan is damaged due to an accident or similar
cause which destroys the paint and protective coating,
have your vehicle repaired as soon as possible. The
cost of such repairs is considered the responsibility of
the owner.

■ If you drive on salted or dust controlled roads, or if
you drive near the ocean, hose off the under carriage
at least once a month.
■ It is important that the drain holes in the lower edges
of the doors and rocker panels be kept clear.

■ This corrosion warranty does not cover non-genuine
sheet metal parts or damage caused by the installation
of such non-genuine sheet metal parts.

DETAILS.
