EMISSIONS PERFORMANCE
WARRANTY
WHEN DOES THIS WARRANTY APPLY
This warranty applies to your 2012 Nissan vehicle only if
it fails to pass a California “smog check” test or equiva-
lent.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
5
Nissan warrants that if your vehicle fails to pass a
California “smog check” test, it will make the necessary
repairs so that your vehicle will pass. This warranty is for
3 years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first. The
warranty begins the date the vehicle is delivered to the
first retail buyer or the date it is first put in to service,
whichever is earlier.
Exceptions to this warranty are listed under the caption
“ WHAT IS NOT COVERED”.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
These warranties do not cover:1. Normal maintenance, service and parts replace- ment as outlined in the emission control mainte-
nance instructions of your OWNER’S MANUAL
and your NISSAN SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
GUIDE.
2. Failures directly as a result of:
Lack of performance of required emission control
maintenance as outlined in your OWNER’S
MANUAL and your NISSAN SERVICE & MAIN-
TENANCE GUIDE.
Misuse, accident or modification.
Improper adjustment or installation of parts during
the performance of maintenance (non-warranty)
services.
Tampering with or disconnecting any part affect-
ing vehicle emissions.
The use of fuel other than that specified in your
OWNER’S MANUAL or fuel with contaminants
which the fuel filter is not designed to remove.
3. In the case of the Performance Warranty, the use of any non-Nissan part not certified 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 Califor-
nia “smog check” test if such failure is found not to
be covered.
WHAT YOU MUST DO
In 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 DO
Warranty repairs will be made at no charge for parts
and/or labor, including diagnosis and tax. Any needed
parts replacement will be made using new or remanu-
factured parts.
OTHER WARRANTY TERMS
Performance 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 notification 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
certified 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.
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 (ex-
cept for Altima SULEV ONLY which is 8 years/100,000
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.
If you have Questions
You may obtain further information concerning these
warranties by following the procedure outlined in the
“CUSTOMER CARE” section of this booklet. You may
also contact or report any violations to the Office of
Transportation and Air Quality, Vehicle Compliance Pro-
grams Group, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
Ariel Rios Building (6405J) , 1200 Pennsylvania Av-
enue, N.W, Washington, D.C. 20460 or the Chief,
Mobile Source Division, Air Resources Board, 9528
Telstar Ave., El Monte, CA. 91731.
Other Obligations
Nissan does not authorize any person to create for it any
other warranty, obligation or liability in connection with
this vehicle.
Warranty for 2012 vehicles certified for sale in
California may be subject to future governmental
administrative or judicial action. As a result, this
warranty may be changed because Nissan re-
serves the right to, and, will make those changes
required by future law, regulation, or judicial or
administrative action in order to be consistent
with such governmental actions.

18 SEAT BELT LIMITED WARRANTY

WHO IS COVERED
The owner of a BFGoodrich Passenger or Light Truck
tire which bears the BFGoodrich name and complete
DOT identification number.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
BFGoodrich Passenger and Light Truck tires, used in
normal service on the vehicle on which they were origi-
nally fitted and in accordance with the maintenance
recommendations and safety warnings contained in the
owner’s manual and in the Important Tire Safety Infor-
mation Section of this booklet, are covered by this
limited warranty against defects in workmanship and
material for the life of the original usable tread, or 6 years
from the date of purchase, whichever comes first. At
that time, all warranties, express or implied, are termi-
nated. The usable tread is the original tread down to the
level of the tread wear indicators - 2/32nds of an inch
(1.6mm) of tread remaining. Date of purchase is docu-
mented by new vehicle registration or tire sales invoice.
If no proof of purchase is available, the date of manu-
facture, as molded on the sidewall, will be used. Re-
placement will be made in accordance with the terms
and conditions described underWhat BFGoodrich
Will Do.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Tires which become unserviceable due to:Road hazard injury (e.g., a cut, snag, bruise, impact
damage, or puncture, whether repairable or not);
Incorrect mounting of the tire, tire/wheel imbalance,
or improper repair;
Misapplication, underinflation, overinflation, im-
proper maintenance, racing or other abuse;
Uneven or rapid wear which is caused by mechani-
cal irregularity in the vehicle such as wheel misalign-
ment (a measured tread difference of 2/32nds of an
inch (1.6mm) or more across the tread on the same
tire) resulting in uneven or rapid wear;
Accident, fire, chemical corrosion, tire alteration, or
vandalism;
Ozone or weather cracking;Flat spotting caused by improper storage or brake-
lock;
The adding of liquid, solid or gaseous materials other
than air, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide (e.g. waterbase
sealers or balancing substances) .
WHAT BFGOODRICH WILL DO
PASSENGER AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES
A tire which becomes unserviceable due to a condition
covered by this limited warranty will be replaced with a
comparable new BFGoodrich tire, free of charge, when
2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) or less of the original tread
is worn, (or 25% or less, whichever is most beneficial to
the user) and within 12 months of the date of purchase.
Mounting and balancing of tires is included. The cost of
any other service charges and applicable taxes are
payable by the user.
When more than 2/32nds of an inch of original tread
has been worn (or more than 25%, whichever is most
beneficial to the user) or after 12 months from date of
purchase, the user must pay the cost of a comparable
new BFGoodrich passenger or light truck replacement
tire on a pro rata basis. The dealer shall determine the
charge by multiplying the percentage of the original
usable tread worn by the current actual selling price at
the adjustment location or the price on the current
BFGoodrich Brand Base Price List, whichever is lower.
This List is based on a predetermined price intended to
fairly represent the actual selling price of the tire. The
cost of mounting, balancing and any other service
charges and applicable taxes are payable by the user.
