understand the operation and mainte-
nance of your vehicle so that you may
enjoy many miles of driving pleasure.

let explains details about the warranties
covering your vehicle. Additionally, a
separate Customer Care/Lemon Law
Booklet (U.S. only) will explain how to
resolve any concerns you may have
with your vehicle, as well as clarify your

sories with which your vehicle is

Your NISSAN dealer knows your vehicle
best. When you require any service or
have any questions, we will be glad to
assist you with the extensive resources
available to us.READ FIRST — THEN DRIVE SAFELY

car because it has a higher center of
gravity. As with other vehicles with

this vehicle correctly may result in loss
of control or an accident. Be sure to

and “Driving safety precautions” in the

CLE

Modification could affect its perfor-
mance, safety or durability, and may
even violate governmental regula-
tions. In addition, damage or perfor-
mance problems resulting from
modification may not be covered un-
der NISSAN warranties.
WARNING
Installing an aftermarket On-Board
Diagnostic (OBD) plug-in device that
uses the port during normal driving,
for example remote insurance com-
pany monitoring, remote vehicle di-
agnostics, telematics or engine
reprogramming, may cause interfer-
ence or damage to vehicle systems.
We do not recommend or endorse
the use of any aftermarket OBD
plug-in devices, unless specifically
