2011 NISSAN XTERRA maintenance

ASSISTANCE OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY
In our continuing effort to convey our commitment to
service and customer satisfaction, Nissan may occa-
sionally 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 “ad-
justment 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 Identifica-
tion Number) , mileage, maintenance history, a detailed
explanation of the concern, and why you believe that
Nissan should be responsible for the repair. Your re-
quest will be individually investigated and you will be
informed of Nissan’s decision.
Please review the
Supplement to the 2011 Nissan
Warranty Information Booklet & 2011 Nissan Own-
er’s Manual for important information concerning
consumer rights in your state.

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 allow-
ance 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. 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 mainte-
nance are not required but should be kept in the event
questions arise concerning maintenance. The receipts
should be transferred to subsequent owners.

warranties by following the procedure outlined in the
