INFINITI OWNER SATISFACTION AND ASSISTANCE
Both Infiniti and your Infiniti dealer are dedicated
to serving all your automotive needs. Your complete satisfaction is our primary concern. Your
Infiniti dealer is available to assist you with all your
automobile sales, parts and service requirements.
If, however, a situation arises that you believe has
not been addressed to your satisfaction, we ask
that you take the following steps.
STEP 1:
Discuss the situation with the dealership management. If a problem still exists, contact the dealership’s owner. Your Infiniti dealer is best equipped
to resolve the matter for you.
STEP 2:
If the concern has still not been addressed to your
satisfaction, please contact our Infiniti Consumer
Affairs Department using our toll free number:
1-800-662-6200
The Consumer Affairs Department will ask for the
following information:
• Your name, address, and telephone number
• Vehicle identification number (on dashboard
and permanent Infiniti Total Ownership program card)
• Date of purchase
• Current odometer reading
• Your Infiniti dealership’s name
• Details of the concern
Or you can write to Infiniti with the above information at:
INFINITI DIVISION
Nissan North America, Inc.
Consumer Affairs Department
P.O. Box 47038
Gardena, CA 90247-6838
STEP 3:
In the event that you believe Infiniti has been
unable to satisfactorily addressthe problem, a special automotive complaint resolution program
called AUTO LINE is available to you. The AUTO
LINE program is independently operated by the
Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc. (BBB).
For information about the BBB AUTO LINE in your
area, please call us (Infiniti) at the same toll free
number
(1-800-662-6200). We will be happy to provide you
with the address and phone number of your local
BBB office or any other information about AUTO
LINE.
Or you may contact the BBB at:
AUTO LINE
Council of Better Business Bureaus, Inc.
4200 Wilson Blvd.
Arlington, Virginia 22203
1 (800) 955-5100
If you call, the BBB staff will record the details of
your complaint by telephone. They will ask for the
same information as in Step 2.
The AUTO LINE program consists of two parts:
mediation and arbitration. The AUTO LINE Staff will
attempt to provide suggestions for resolving the
problem during mediation. If a satisfactory resolution has not been achieved during mediation, you
will have the opportunity to present your case personally before an impartial person or three person
panel. This is the arbitration part of AUTO LINE. The
arbitrator(s) will make a decision after the arbitration hearing.
2
The BBB must send you a final decision in your
case within forty (40) days (plus 7 days, if you have
not contacted Infiniti) unless you delay the
process. If you accept the decision, it will be legally binding on you and Infiniti. If you do not accept
the decision, it will not be legally binding on you or
Infiniti. However, in some states, if the decision is
not accepted, it may be introduced either by you or
by Infiniti as evidence in a subsequent court
action.
INFINITI OWNER SATISFACTION AND ASSISTANCE
BBB AUTO LINE is an informal dispute settlement mechanism operated to comply with
applicable Federal law and regulations. In
states where BBB AUTO LINE is available, you
are required to use BBB AUTO LINE before exercising rights or seeking remedies under Title 1
of the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty 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 considerable assistance. Some
states specify 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 before 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 remedies provided by state law. Please
see the “2005 Infiniti Warranty Information
Booklet & 2005 Infiniti Owner’s Manual” for
additional information.
AUTO LINE may not be available in all states. We,
Infiniti, can provide you with information about the
availability of AUTO LINE in your state, or call the
AUTO LINE number listed above.
ELIGIBILITY: 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.
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 additionally
inquire of your authorized Infiniti dealer or of
Infiniti directly at the number listed below of the
applicability of such programs to your vehicle.
Infiniti 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 dis-

cuss the situation with your dealer. If your dealer 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 Identification
Number), mileage, maintenance history, a detailed
explanation of the concern, and why you believe

you will be informed of Infiniti‘s decision.

EMISSIONS PERFORMANCE WARRANTY
WHEN DOES THIS WARRANTY APPLY
This warranty applies to your 2005 Infiniti vehicle
only if it fails to pass a California “smog check” test
or equivalent.
WHAT IS COVERED AND FOR HOW LONG
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 4 years or 60,000 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 below under
the caption “WHAT IS NOT COVERED.”
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
These warranties do not cover:
1. Normal maintenance, service and parts replacement as outlined in the emission control maintenance instructions of your Owner’s Manual.
2. Failures directly as a result of:
• Lack of performance of required emission
control maintenance as outlined in your
Owner’s Manual.
• Misuse, accident or modification.
• Improper adjustment or installation of
parts during the performance of maintenance (non-warranty) services.
• Tampering with or disconnecting any part
affecting 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
standpoint 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
California “smog check” test if such failure is
found not to be covered.
LIMITATION OF WARRANTIES AND OTHER
WARRANTY TERMS AND STATE LAW RIGHTS
EXTRA EXPENSES - LIMITATIONS OF
DAMAGES
These emissions warranties do not cover incidental or consequential damages such as loss
of the use of the vehicle, inconvenience or
commercial loss.
ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE
SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THESE
WRITTEN WARRANTIES.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages or limitations on
how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. These warranties give you specific legal rights, and you may also
have other rights which vary from state to state.
Nissan does not authorize any person to create for it any
other warranty, obligation or liability in connection with
this vehicle.

2005 INFINITI CALIFORNIA VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTIES
WHAT YOU MUST DO
In order to obtain warranty service you must deliver
the vehicle to any authorized Infiniti 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 Owner’s
Manual. 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 remanufactured 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 Infiniti 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 on page 14 of this booklet. No warranty claim will be denied solelybecause 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 an Infiniti 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 Infiniti
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 4 years/60,000 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.
EMERGENCY REPAIRS
In case of an emergency, when an authorized
Infiniti dealer is not reasonably available, warranty
repairs may be performed at any service facility or
by the owner using any replacement parts. Infiniti
will reimburse you for such repairs, including diagnosis, up to the amount of Infiniti’s suggested
retail price for parts and labor charges based on
Infiniti’s recommended time allowance 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 Infiniti
dealer for repayment in such emergency situations.
