Performance Warranty because you use a certifi ed 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.
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

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

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 &

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
