2013 INFINITI EX ESP

BBB AUTO LINE is an informal dispute settlement
mechanism operated to comply with applicable Fed-
eral law and regulations. In states where BBB AUTO
LINE is available, you are required to use BBB AUTO
LINE before exercisingrights or seeking remedies
under Title 1 of the Federal Magnuson-Moss War-
ranty Act, 15 U.S.C.§2301, et. seq. If you choose to
seek remedies other than those created by Title 1 of
the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, (for example,
under state law), that Federal Act does not require
you to first use BBB AUTO LINE. The program is still
available to you, however, and may be of consider-
able assist ance. Some states spec ify that informal
dispute settlement mechanisms such as BBB AUTO
LINE must be used before you may use state-
operated complaint resolution processes, before
you may file a lawsuit under state law, and/or be-
fore you may have certain other rights or remedies
available under state law. In accordance with those
states’ laws, Infiniti requires the prior use of BBB
AUTO LINE in good faith before you resort to such
other processes, file a lawsuit, or seek other rem-
edies provided by state law. Please see the Supple-
ment to 2013 Infiniti Warranty Information Booklet
& 2013 Infiniti Owner’s Manual for additional
information. BBB AUTO LINE may not be available in all states. We,
Infiniti, can provide you with information about the
availability of BBB AUTO LINE in your state, or call the
BBB AUTO LINE number listed above.
ELIGIBILITY: Generally, Infiniti vehicles less than four
years old from date delivered to the first retail buyer or
otherwise put into use, and with fewer than 60,000
miles, are eligible for the program. See Supplement to
2013 Infiniti Warranty Information Booklet & 2013
Infiniti Owners Manual for possible exceptions applying
in your state.
ASSISTANCE OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY
In support of our commitment to the “Total Ownership
Experience,” Infiniti may occasionally 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 “adjustment programs”). In
such circumstances Infiniti mails notices to all known
registered owners of affected vehicles. You may addi-
tionally inquire of your authorized Infiniti retailer or of
Infiniti directly at the number listed below of the appli-
cability of such programs to your vehicle.
Infiniti may occ
asionallyoffer 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
retailer. If your retailer is unable to assist you, you may
call the Infiniti Consumer Affairs Department at 1-800-
662-6200 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
Infiniti should be responsible for the repair. Your re-
quest will be individually investigated and you will be
informed of Infiniti‘s decision.
Please also review the Supplement to 2013 Infiniti
Warranty Information Booklet & 2013 Owner’s
Manual for important information concerning con-
sumer rights in your state.

2013 INFINITI CALIFORNIA VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTIES113

WHAT IS COVERED?
Nissan2warrants your Genuine Infiniti Replacement
Battery as described below except as stated under
“What is not covered?”
This warranty covers defects in materials and workman-
ship.
HOW LONG IS THE WARRANTY AND WHAT
WILL NISSAN DO
If your battery becomes unserviceable within the first
24 months of service Nissan will replace your battery,
including labor, without charge, p roviding the battery
was originally installed in your vehicle by an authorized
INFINITI retailer.
If the battery becomes unserviceable after 24 months of
use, NISSAN will provide a replacement battery at a
reduced price, charging only for the portion of the life of
the battery actually used. This is called a “pro-rata ad-
justment”. You will be responsible for all labor charges
for the replacement of the battery.
This warranty and the “pro-rata adjustment” end 84
months after the date of the battery’s purchase or instal-
lation, whichever is earlier.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED?
This warranty does not cover:
1. Damage or failure resulting from: ●Accident, theft, fire or freezing.
● Misuse of the battery or vehicle in which it is
installed, including the use in applications for
which the battery was not designed. Proper use
is described in the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.
● Improper installation or battery charging.
● Vehicle electrical malfunctions not covered by
your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
● Modification or improper repair of the vehicle or
a part of the vehicle.
● Use of parts not equivalent in quality or design
to parts supplied by INFINITI or NISSAN.
● Environmental conditions, including, but not
limited to flood, and salt spray or salt water.
2. Normal maintenance service and recharging of dis- charged batteries.
3. Batteries in service more than 84 months.
4. Salvage Title. This warranty does not cover damage, failure, or corrosion to any Genuine INFINITI bat-
tery installed in the vehicle, if the vehicle is issued
a “salvage” or similar title unless state law ex-
pressly states otherwise. (This exclusion does not
extend to a new Genuine INFINITI battery installed
in the vehicle after the issuance of a “salvage” or
similar title).
WHATYOUMUSTDO
In order to obtain warranty service, you must deliver the
warranted battery or the v ehicle in which the battery is
installed to an authorized Infiniti retailer in the U.S. or
Canada at your expense, with proof of purchase (parts
invoice or service repair order from an authorized
Infiniti retailer). The names and addresses of autho-
rized Infiniti retailers are listed in telephone directories
or Infiniti.com.
If the “pro-rata adjustment” applies, you must pay for
the portion of the 84 month warrantable life that you
actually used. The amount you pay is computed in two
steps. First, the client pay percentage is determined
from the chart shown below based upon the months of
actual battery service.
Months
In Service Client Pay
Percentage
0–24 0%
25–32 25%
33–50 50%
51–84 75%
Second, the current suggested retail price of the new
battery is multiplied by the client pay percentage. For
example, should the battery fail after 40 months of
service you would pay 50% of the suggested retail price
of the new battery.
(Continued on next page)
1 Actual warranty is provided by the dealer at time of purchase and should be read carefully. This warranty is subject to change and the applicable warranty will be that which is in effect on
the date of purchase.

20 REPLACEMENT BATTERY LIMITED WARRANTY1

DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLE OR TIRES
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to determine the
load limits. Overloading your vehicle places stress on
your tires and other critical vehicle components. Over-
loading a vehicle can cause poor handling, increased
fuel consumption and may causetire failure. Overload-
ing your tires can result in severe cracking, component
separation or blowout.
Never fit your vehicle with new tires that have less load
capacity than shown on the vehicle tire placard and
remember that optimum rim width is important for
proper tire load distribution and function.
The maximum load capacity stamped on the sidewalls
of P-Metric tires is reduced by 10% when used on a light
truck, utility vehicle or trailer. Never fit P-Metric tires to
light trucks that specify LT-type replacement tires.
DON’T SPIN YOUR TIRES EXCESSIVELY
Avoid excessive tire spinning when your vehicle is stuck in
snow, ice, mud or sand. The centrifugal forces generated
by a free-spinning tire/wheel assembly may cause sud-
den tire explosion resulting in vehicle damage and/or
serious personal injury to you or a bystander. Never ex-
ceed 35 mph/55 km/h, as indicated on your speedom-
eter. 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 speeds. For ex-
ample, 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 WEAR
Always 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 w
orn tires are also more suscep-
tible to penetrations.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR DAMAGE
Frequent (at least monthly) inspection of your tires for
signs of damage and their general condition is impor-
tant for safety. If you have any questions, have your tire
retailer 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 inner tube as a substitute for a proper repair.
Only qualified persons should repair tires.
PROPER TIRE REPAIR
NOTE: Goodyear and Dunlop do not warrant any inspec-
tion or repair process. The repair is entirely the respon-
sibility of the repairer and should be made in accor-
dance with established Rubber Manufacturers
Association (RMA) procedures.
THE CONVENIENCE (TEMPORARY) SPARE
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare is designed, built,
and tested to the high engineering standards set by
North America’s leading car manufacturers and to
Goodyear and Dunlop’s own high standards of quality
control. It is designed to take up a minimum of storage
space and, at the same time, fulfill the function of a
spare tire when needed. The spare is kept in its storage space, fully inflated at 60 psi. To be sure it is always
ready for use, the air pressure should be checked on a
regular basis.
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare can be used in
combination with the original tires on your vehicle. You
can expect a tire tread life of up to 3,000 miles (4,800
kilometers), depending on road conditions and your
driving habits. To conserve tire tread life, return the
spare to the storage area as soon as it is convenient to
have the standard tire repaired or replaced.
The Convenience (Temporary) Spare weighs less than a
standard tire so
it’s easier to handle. It also helps re-
duce the total car weight which contributes to fuel
economy.
The wheels used with the Convenience (Temporary)
Spare are specifically designed for use with high pres-
sure spares and should never be used with any other
type tire.
DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT YOUR OWN TIRES
Serious injury or Death may result from explosion of
tire/ rim assembly due to improper mounting proce-
dures. Follow tire manufacturer’s instructions and
match tire diameter to rim diameter. Mount light truck
radials on rims approved for radial service. Do not apply
bead sealer. This can inhibit bead seating. Lubricate
beads and tire rim (including tube or flap) contact sur-
faces. 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL MONITORING
The information contained in this Owner’s Manual and
Limited Warranty Brochure applies only to the Original
Equipment tires supplied with your vehicle.
In order for Goodyear Run-Flat (Extended Mobility Tech-
nology (EMT) and RunOnFlat (ROF)) tires to obtain the
performance criteria stated within this Limited War-
ranty, Goodyear Run-Flat tires must use specific parts,
such as a low tire pressure monitoring system autho-
rized by the Original Equipment vehicle manufacturer.
TIRE PRESS URE MONITORING SYSTEM
The Goodyear Run-Flat tire is a high-performance tire
with a remarkable feature: It can operate for limited
distances, with very low or even no inflation pressure
(refer to your Vehicle Owner’s Manual for these limita-
tions). This is an important benefit, especially if inflation
loss occurs at a location where immediately stopping
your vehicle could be hazardous. Because these tires
ride well even without air pressure, your vehicle must be
equipped with a system to alert you when a tire has low
or no air pressure.
MONITORING SYSTEM ALERT
Refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more informa-
tion on what to do if the tire pressure warning system
activates.
WARNING
If the tire pressure-monitoring system signals an
alert, follow these saf ety precautions to prevent a
loss of vehicle control that could result in serious
personal injury or death:
● Slow your speed as much as possible. Do not ex-
ceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
● Avoid hard cornering, hard braking and severe
handling maneuvers.
● Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
Remember that when your tires have lost air
pressure, your vehicle’s handling capability is
reduced, particularly during severe maneuvers.
TO PROLONG TIRE LIFE DURING A SYSTEM
ALERT
The Goodyear Run-Flat tire can be driven at low or zero
air pressure (refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for
these limitations). To help prolon g the life of a tire oper-
ating under low-inflation conditions, drive at a speed as
far below 50 mph (80 km/h) as possible. Also, drive the
shortest distance possible before obtaining tire service.
Taking these precautions will increase the chance that
your tire will be repairable.
SERVICE AFTER A SYSTEM ALERT
To obtain service after an alert from the tire pressure-
monitoring system, contact your Goodyear Run-Flat ser-
vice facility. Trained service personnel will inspect your
tires to determine if they are in need of repair or replace-
ment. To locate your nearest authorized Goodyear Run-Flat
service facility, call 1-800-RUN-FLAT, (1-800-786-3528).
WARNING
Because of the unique characteristics of Goodyear
Run-Flat tires, the wheels on which they are
mounted and your vehicle’s tire pressure monitoring
system, all tire service work other than routine infla-
tion maintenance and external inspections must be
performed by service personnel at a Goodyear Run-
Flat service facility.
Do not attempt to mount or dismount Run-Flat tires
yourself; serious injury or death could result. Only
specially trained persons should mount, dismount
and repair Run-Flat tires.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
While most tire maintenance must be performed by a
Goodyear Run-Flat service facility as noted above, there
are a few basic tire care items you can and should
regularly perform yourself
. These are described below.
TIRE INFLATION
Underinflation is the leading cau se of tire failure. It
reduces tire load capacity and allows excessive sidewall
flexing, resulting in high heat generation. Maintaining
proper inflation pressure is the single most important
thing you can do to promote tire durability and maxi-
mize tread life.

In order for Dunlop Self-Supporting Technology
(DSST ) tires to obtain the performance criteria stated
within this Owner’s Manual and Limited Warranty, DSST
tires must be used with parts authorized by your Origi-
nal Equipment Vehicle Manufacturer, such as wheels
and tire pressure monitoring systems.
TIRE PRESS URE MONITORING SYSTEM
The Dunlop DSST tire is a high-performance tire with a
remarkable feature: It can operate for limited distances,
with very low or even no inflation pressure (refer to your
vehicle Owner’s Manual for these limitations). This is an
important benefit, especially if inflation loss occurs at a

● Avoid potholes and other road hazards.
Remember that when your tires have lost air
pressure, your vehicle’s handling capability is
reduced, particularly during severe maneuvers.
TO PROLONG TIRE LIFE DURING A SYSTEM ALERT
The DSST tire can be driven at low or zero air pressure
(refer to your vehicle Owner’s Manual for the limita-
tions). However, the tire may have to be replaced if
driven under such applications. To help prolong the life
of a tire operating under low-inflation conditions, drive
at a speed as far below 50 mph (80 km/h) as possible.
Also, drive the shortest distance possible before obtain-
ing tire service. Taking the se precautions will increase
the chance that your tire will be repairable.
SERVICE AFTER A SYSTEM ALERT
To obtain service after an alert, from the tire pressure
monitoring system, contact your authorized Dunlop
DSST service facility. Trained service personnel will in-
spect your tires to determine if they are in need of repair
or replacement.
To locate your nearest authorized Dunlop DSST service
facility, call 1-800-786-3528.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Because of the unique characteristics of Dunlop
DSST tires, the wheels on which they are mounted
and your vehicle’s tire pressure monitoring system,
all tire service work other than routine inflation
maintenance and external inspection must be per-
formed by service personnel at an authorized Dun-
lop DSST service facility.
Do not attempt to mount or dismount extended mo-
bility tires yourself; serious injury or death could
result. Only specially trained persons should mount,
dismount and repair DSST tires.
While most tire maintenance must be performed by an
authorized Dunlop DSST service facility, as noted

should perform yourself. These are described below.
TIRE INFLATION
Underinflation is the leading cau se of tire failure. It
reduces tire load capacity and allows excessive sidewall
flexing, resulting in high heat generation. Maintaining
proper inflation pressure is the single most important
thing you can do to promote tire performance and maxi-
mize tread life.
Check inflation pressures at least once a month and
before long trips. Use an accurate tire pressure gauge.
Always check pressures when the tires are cold (when
the vehicle has been driven less than one mile). If you
must check inflation when the tires are hot, add 4 psi
(27 kPa) to the recommended cold inflation pressure.
