2008 Nissan Towing Guide 30 driving needs (up to 84 months/100,000 miles!). For the maximum coverage, you will want to
opt for Security+Plus Gold
® Preferred.
Whichever plan you choose, coverage is available throughout the United States. Repair
work will be done at authorized Nissan dealers by Nissan-trained technicians utilizing Genuine
Nissan Parts. For more information about Security+Plus Vehicle Protection Plans, contact
your participating Nissan dealer.
The quality of Genuine Nissan Parts and Accessories is backed by the integrity of a
Genuine Nissan Replacement Parts and Accessories Limited Warranty. If purchased within
the basic coverage period of 36 months/36,000 miles, Genuine Nissan Parts and
Accessories are covered by the remaining period of the warranty. If the remaining period is
less than 12 months/12,000 miles (or if the vehicle warranty has expired), then Genuine
Nissan Accessories are covered by their own 12-month/12,000-mile Limited Warranty. See
your Nissan Warranty Information Booklet or ask your Nissan dealer for specific details.

CONCERN FOR YOUR SAFETY
Nissan urges you to always use your seat belt whenever you drive. And please make sure all
passengers are buckled up. Keep in mind that air bags are a supplemental restraint system
and must always be used in conjunction with a seat belt.
In addition, a rear-facing child restraint must never be used in the front passenger seat if
the vehicle is equipped with a front passenger air bag. Children 12 and under should ride in
the rear seat properly secured in child restraints, booster seats, or seat belts, according to
their size. See your vehicle owner's manual for more details.
