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. 
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

NISSAN SERVICE & MAINTENANCE  
GUIDE.

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
