HOW LONG IS THE WARRANTY AND
WHAT WILL NISSAN DO
If your 12V battery becomes unserviceable within the
first 24 months of service Nissan will replace your 12V
battery, including labor, without charge, providing the
12V battery was originally installed in your vehicle by an
authorized Nissan dealer.
If the 12V battery becomes unserviceable after
24 months of use, Nissan will provide a replacement
12V battery at a reduced price, charging only for the
portion of the life of the 12V battery actually used. This
is called a “pro-rata adjustment.” You will be responsible
for all labor charges for the replacement of the 12V
battery.
This warranty and the “pro-rata adjustment” end
84 months after the date of the 12V battery’s purchase
or installation, whichever is earlier. However, the war-
ranty on a Genuine Nissan replacement 12V battery
installed during the Nissan New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty will extend through, and will not end before, the
end of that original warranty.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED?
This warranty does not cover:
1. Damage or failure resulting from:
Accident, theft, fire or freezing.Misuse of the 12V battery or vehicle in which it is
installed, including the use in applications for
which the 12V battery was not designed. Proper
use is described in the vehicles OWNER’S
MANUAL .
Improper installation or 12V 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.

parts supplied by Nissan.
Environmental conditions, including, but not lim-
ited to flood, and salt spray or salt water.
2. Normal maintenance service and recharging of dis- charged batteries.
3. 12V batteries in service more than 84 months.
4. Salvage Title. This warranty does not cover dam- age, failure, or corrosion to any Genuine Nissan
12V battery installed in the vehicle, if the vehicle is
issued a “salvage” or similar title under any state’s
law, and this warranty is rendered void for any 12V
battery installed in a vehicle prior to the vehicle being issued a “salvage” or similar title unless state
law expressly states otherwise. (This exclusion
does not extend to a new Genuine Nissan 12V
battery installed in the vehicle after the issuance of
a “salvage” or similar title) .
WHAT YOU MUST DO
In order to obtain warranty service, you must deliver the
warranted 12V battery or the vehicle in which the 12V
battery is installed to an authorized Nissan LEAF certi-
fied dealer in the U.S. or Canada at your expense, with
proof of purchase (parts invoice or service repair order
from an authorized Nissan dealer) .
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 customer pay percentage is determined from
the chart shown below based upon the months of actual
12V battery service.
Months

Second, the current suggested retail price of the new
12V battery is multiplied by the customer pay percent-
age. For example, should the 12V battery fail after
40 months of service you would pay 50% of the sug-
gested retail price of the new 12V battery.

GENUINE NISSAN PARTS AND ACCESSORIES

In order to help protect your vehicle against corrosion, it
is important that you care for your vehicle regularly,
following these suggestions:
Wash your vehicle regularly using cold clean water
and a mild vehicle wash soap.
If insects, tar or other similar deposits have accumu-
lated on your vehicle, wash it as soon as possible.
If you drive on salted or dust controlled roads, or if
you drive near the ocean, hose off the under carriage
at least once a month.
It is important that the drain holes in the lower edges
of the doors and rocker panels be kept clear.
If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the
paint, touch them up immediately.
If you do much driving on gravel roads, consider
installing mud or stone shields behind each wheel.
If your Nissan is damaged due to an accident or
similar cause which destroys the paint and protec-
tive coating, have your vehicle repaired as soon as
possible. The cost of such repairs is considered the
responsibility of the owner.
This corrosion warranty does not cover non-genuine
sheet metal parts or damage caused by the installa-
tion of such non-genuine sheet metal parts.
