LIMITATION OF WARRANTIES AND OTHER WAR-
RANTY TERMS AND STATE LAW RIGHTS
EXTRA EXPENSES - LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES
This warranty does not cover incidental or consequential
damages such as loss of the use of the vehicle, incon-
venience or commercial loss.
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FIT-
NESS 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 specifi c 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.

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.
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.
SIDEWALL TREATMENTSDunlop 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 DAMAGEFrequent 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 qualifi ed persons should repair tires.
PROPER TIRE REPAIRNOTE : 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.
DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT
YOUR OWN TIRES
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 “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 AXLE
For optimum handling and control, Dunlop recommends
fi tment of four (4) tires of the same type and size unless
otherwise specifi ed by the vehicle manufacturer.
FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL
GUIDELINES:
Fit 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 for four. Do not fi t 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.
RETREADED TIRESRetreaded passenger and light truck tires are not warranted
by Dunlop for any reason. 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 TIRES
Lack of rotation, worn suspension parts, underinfl ation/over-
infl 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.
LIGHTWEIGHT TEMPORARY
SPARE TIRES IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• Limit vehicle speed when using the lightweight temporary spare tire to 50 mph/80 km/h or less.
• Check the infl ation 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 infl ating or adding air to light-
weight temporary spare tire, be very careful, since the
smaller tire volume can gain pressure quickly. Leave
valve core in place and add infl ation air in short bursts.
Check the pressure often with an in-line or hand gauge
until the specifi ed 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 specifi cally 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 fi tted 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 fi tted 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; infl ate 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.

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.
HAZARDSObjects 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 underinfl ated or damaged, defl ate, 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 specifi ed 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 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 qualifi ed 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 infl ation 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 fl ammable substance into a tire.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCINGWheel 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
underinfl ated will show more wear on the shoulders than
in the center of the tread.
