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.

Page 5
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 that Infiniti should be responsible for the repair. Your request will be individually investigated and you will be informed of Infiniti‘s decision.
Please also review the “Supplement to the 2005 Infiniti Warranty Information Booklet & 2005 Owner’s Manual” for important informa­tion concerning consumer rights in your state.

2005 INFINITI CALIFORNIA VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTIES
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.

2005 INFINITI CALIFORNIA VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTIES
MAINTENANCE RECORDS Receipts covering the performance of regular main­tenance 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 “INFINITI OWNER SATISFACTION & ASSISTANCE” section of this booklet. You may also contact or report any violations to the Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Vehicle Compliance Programs Group, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Ariel Rios Building (6405J), 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20460 or the Chief, Mobile Source Division, Air Resources Board, 9528 Telstar Ave., El Monte, CA.

OTHER OBLIGATIONS
Nissan does not authorize any person to create for it any other warranty, obligation or liability in con­nection with this vehicle.
The Emission Warranty for 2005 vehicles certified for sale in California may be subject to future administrative or judicial action. As a result, this warranty may be changed. Nissan will make those changes required by future law, regulation, or judi­cial or administrative action. In addition, Nissan reserves the right to change the terms of the war­ranty to be consistent with these actions.

RECOMMENDATION FOR MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND REPLACEMENT PARTS

RECOMMENDATION FOR MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND REPLACEMENT PARTS
To assure best results and to maintain the original quality built into the emission control systems, it is recommended that parts and accessories supplied by Nissan for use on Infiniti vehicles be used when servicing or repairing the systems.
THE WARRANTY OBLIGATIONS ARE NOT DEPEN­DENT UPON THE USE OF ANY PARTICULAR BRAND OF REPLACEMENT PARTS AND THE OWNER MAY ELECT TO USE NON-GENUINE NISSAN PARTS FOR REPLACEMENT PURPOSES.
The use of replacement parts which are not equiva­lent to genuine Nissan parts may reduce the effec­tiveness of the emission control system.
Therefore, if it becomes necessary to use other than genuine Nissan parts, the owner should assure himself that such parts are warranted by their manufacturer to be equivalent in quality to genuine Nissan parts.
MAINTENANCE, REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THE EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES AND SYSTEMS MAY BE PERFORMED BY ANY AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR ESTABLISHMENT OR INDIVIDUAL USING ANY EQUIVALENT REPLACEMENT PART.
HOWEVER, UNLESS OTHERWISE AUTHORIZED BY LAW, WARRANTY SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED INFINITI DEALER.
The emission standards may be satisfied by having the vehicle inspected periodically and by following the requirements outlined in the Emission Control System Maintenance Schedules in your Owner’s Manual.

Replacement price will be calculated by multiplying the tire’s advertised retail selling price at the time of adjustment by the percentage of usable original tread that has been worn off. You pay for mounting, balancing and applicable taxes. Example: If your disabled tire had an original 8/32" of usable treadwear and is worn to 4/32" usable tread remaining, you have used 50 percent and, therefore, must pay 50 percent of the current adver­tised selling price of the replacement tire. If the price of the new replacement tire is $80, the cost to you would be $40 plus any additional charges such
as mounting, balancing and applicable taxes.
WHAT IS A COMPARABLE TIRE?
A comparable new Dunlop tire may either be the same line of tire or, in the event that the tire is not available, a tire of the same basic construction and quality with a different side-wall or tread configura­tion. If a higher priced tire is accepted as replace­ment, the difference in price will be at an addition­al charge to you.
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
A tire has delivered its full original treadlife and the coverage of this warranty ends when the treadwear indicators become visible (worn to 2/32"), or six (6) years from the date of original tire manufacture or new tire purchase date. (Without proof of purchase, date of manufacture will be used to determine age.)
Any replacement tire provided pursuant to this war­ranty will be covered by the Dunlop warranty in effect at the time of replacement.
LIMITATIONS
This limited warranty is applicable only in the United States and Canada.

ices you order at the time of adjustment.
C. You must submit your claim on a GDTNA claim
form supplied by an authorized Dunlop service facility. The form must be filled out completely and signed by you, the owner of the tire pre­sented for adjustment, or your authorized agent.
TIRE CARE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
The easiest way to help ensure satisfactory mileage and performance from your Dunlop tires is to give them a simple but frequent inspection for proper inflation, even treadwear, and the presence of any damage.
DO MAINTAIN PROPER INFLATION PRES­SURE IN YOUR TIRES
Proper inflation pressure is necessary for optimum tire per-formance, safety and fuel economy. To maintain proper inflation pressure, frequently check tires (when they are cool) with an accurate tire pressure gauge.*
For example, it is difficult to tell just by looking at radial tires whether they are underinflated.
26
Page 29
Furthermore, when operating a vehicle equipped with radial tires, it is difficult to notice when a tire has gone flat or nearly flat since the “feel” of the vehicle does not change significantly.
*Evidence of air loss or repeated underinflation always requires expert inspection to determine the source of leakage and tire removal to deter­mine repairability. To avoid injury, NEVER attempt
to reinflate a tire that has been run severely under­inflated.
Progressive air loss may result from punctures, cuts, curbing, impacts or partial bead unseating. Some fitment causes for air loss are (1) incomplete bead seating, (2) bead tearing caused by a machine tool due to insufficient lubrication or improper adjust­ment, (3) leaking valve core or rubber valve compo­nents. These should be replaced when problems are detected and whenever tires are replaced.
Always maintain inflation pressure at the level rec­ommended by the vehicle manufacturer as shown on the vehicle placard or in the owner’s manual:
Underinflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component sep­aration or “blowout.” It reduces tire load capacity, allows excessive sidewall flexing and increases
DUNLOP PASSENGER TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
rolling resistance, resulting in heat and mechanical damage. Maintaining proper inflation pressure is the single most important thing you can do to ensure tire durability and maximum treadlife.
Overinflation increases stiffness, which may deteri­orate ride and generate unwanted vibration. Overinflation also increases the chances of impact damage.
DON’T OVERLOAD YOUR VEHICLE
Check your vehicle owner’s manual to determine the load limits. Overloading your vehicle places stress on your tires and other critical vehicle com­ponents. Overloading a vehicle can cause poor handling, increased fuel consumption and may cause tire failure.
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 percent when used on a light truck, utility vehicle or trailer. Never fit P-Metric tires to light trucksthat specify LT­type 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 sudden tire explosion resulting in vehicle damage and/or serious personal injury to you or a bystander. Never exceed 35 mph/60 km/h as indicated on your speedometer. 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 speed as, for example, 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 worn tires are also more suscepti­ble to penetrations.
SIDEWALL TREATMENTS
Dunlop sidewalls are specially compounded to resist ozone cracking or weather-cracking.
(cont’d next page...)
27
Page 30
DUNLOP PASSENGER TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
Use a mild soap solution to clean sidewalls, white striping or lettering, and rinse off with plain water. Instruct service per-sonnel and customers never to apply any other material to enhance sidewall appearance. These may degrade rubber and remove inherent ozone resistance.
DO CHECK YOUR TIRES FOR DAMAGE
Frequent inspection of your tires for signs of dam­age and their general condition is important for safety. If you have any questions, have your tire dealer 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 innertube as a substitute for a prop­er repair. Only qualified persons should repair tires.
PROPER TIRE REPAIR NOTE: Dunlop does not warrant any inspection or
repair process. The repair is entirely the responsi­bility of the repairer and should be made in accor­dance with established Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) procedures.
DON’T ATTEMPT TO MOUNT YOUR OWN TIRES
Serious injury may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting procedures. Follow tire manufacturer’s instructions and match tire diameter to rim diameter. Mount light truck radi-
als 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 surfaces. 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.
DON’T MIX TIRES OF DIFFERENT SIZES AND TYPES ON THE SAME AXLE
For optimum handling and control, Dunlop recom­mends fitment of four (4) tires of the same type and size unless otherwise specified by the vehicle man­ufacturer.
FOLLOW THESE ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES:
Fit newest tires on rear axle. If radials and non-radi­als must be fitted to the same vehicle, fit radials on rear axle. Never mix radials and non-radials on the same axle. When fitting snow tires or all-season tires to performance vehicles, always fit in sets for four. Do not fit tires with different speed ratings.
Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire combinations can cause instability. When changing tire sizes, always consult dealer for optimum rim width and carefully check vehicle/tire clearances.
RETREADED TIRES
Retreaded passenger and light truck tires are not war­ranted by Dunlop for any reason. Dunlop speed rat­ings and U.S. Department of Transportation test com­pliance certifications are voided for retreaded tires.
DO MAINTAIN VEHICLE SUSPENSION, WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE AND ROTATE YOUR TIRES
Lack of rotation, worn suspension parts, underin­flation/over-inflation, wheel imbalance, and mis­alignment can cause vibration or irregular tire wear. Rotate your tires according to your vehicle manu­facturer’s recommendations or at maximum inter­vals of 6,000 miles/10,000 km.
LIGHTWEIGHT TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Limit vehicle speed when using the lightweight temporary spare tire to 50 mph/80 km/h or less.
• Check the inflation pressure before using and at least weekly. Maintain cold tire pressure in accordance with that molded on the tire side­wall or found in your vehicle owner’s manual. When inflating or adding air to light-weight temporary spare tire, be very careful, since the smaller tire volume can gain pressure quickly. Leave valve core in place and add inflation air in short bursts. Check the pressure often with
28
Page 31
an in-line or hand gauge until the specified pressure is reached.
• The lightweight temporary spare tire may lower ground clear-ance when used. Reduce speed and avoid driving over large obstacles or through chuckholes and other road hazards.
• Check your car owner’s manual for other special clearance precautions when using the lightweight temporary spare tire provided in your vehicle.
• Because your lightweight temporary spare tire was specifically designed for your car, it should not be used on any other vehicle.
• Do not use snow chains on your lightweight temporary spare tire. This could cause damage to your vehicle.
• Your lightweight temporary spare has very lim­ited wear potential (up to 300 miles/500 km).
• In order to conserve tire treadlife, the light­weight temporary spare tire should be returned to your trunk as soon as the standard tire has been repaired or replaced. Never use the spare if treadwear indicator (TWI) bars are exposed or it is worn to the last 2/32" tread depth.
• Do not use your original equipment lightweight temporary spare tire on any other than its orig­inal equipment rim. The replacement light­weight temporary spare tire must match the
DUNLOP PASSENGER TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
original equipment tire removed from your lightweight temporary spare rim. Check the tire for the lightweight temporary spare tire size marking designation and compare size mark­ings with those found on both your original lightweight temporary spare and rim. NOTE: Your original equipment lightweight tem­porary spare tire and rim combination is not the same size as the other tires and rims with which your vehicle is equipped. Standard tires, snow tires, conventional wheel covers or rim rings should not be fitted to your lightweight temporary spare tire rim or assembly.
• Improper mounting can cause tire/rim assembly explosion and serious injury. Tire Fitters: Follow tire manufacturer’s instructions and match tire diameter to rim diameter. Mount the lightweight temporary spare tire only on a rim originally fitted with a temporary spare of the same size. Lubricate beads and rim contact surfaces. Lock assembly on mounting machine or place in a safety cage. STAND BACK; inflate in short bursts with extension hose, clip-on chuck on in-line gauge. Never exceed 40 psi to seat beads or use a volatile substance or a rubber “donut” to aid bead seating. Only specially trained persons should mount lightweight temporary spare tires.

ELIGIBILITY
You are eligible for the benefits of this policy if you are the owner or authorized agent of the owner of new Goodyear highway auto tires bearing Department of Transportation prescribed tire identi­fication numbers, and if your tires have been used only on the vehicle on which they were originally installed according to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.
COVERAGE (REPLACEMENT FREE)
Any new Goodyear highway radial auto tire covered by this policy, that does not deliver satisfactory highway service due to a workmanship or material related condition (see Adjustment Policy Limitations) during the first 25% of usable tread­wear, or twelve months from date of purchase, whichever comes first, will be replaced with a com­parable new Goodyear tire without charge. Mounting and balancing are included.
Any Goodyear temporary spare tire that does not deliver satisfactory highway service due to a work­manship or material related condition during the first 50% of usable tread depth (1/32 of an inch) will be replaced with a comparable new Goodyear temporary spare tire without charge. Mounting is included. After the first 50% of usable treadwear, you pay only an adjustment charge for the tread-

GOODYEAR PASSENGER TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY

wear received, plus any mounting charge.
COVERAGE (PRORATED ADJUSTMENT)
Tires not eligible for no charge adjustment that do not deliver satisfactory service due to a workman­ship or material related condition will be replaced with comparable new Goodyear tires on a pro rata basis. The replacement price will be calculated by multiplying the current Goodyear “predetermined price for adjustment” or current advertised price at adjustment location (whichever is lower) by the percentage of usable original tread that has been worn off at the time of the adjustment. You pay for mounting, balancing, and an amount equal to the full current Federal Excise Tax applicable to the comparable new replacement tire.
The “predetermined price for adjustment,” avail­able at all Goodyear Auto Service Centers and par­ticipating dealers, fairly represents the actual regu­lar retail selling price of the comparable tire at the time of adjustment. If a “predetermined price for adjustment” is not available, adjustment will be based on the price at which you are entitled to buy at the time of adjustment.
A tire has delivered its full original tread life and this warranty ends when the treadwear indicators become visible, regardless of age or mileage.
DEFINITION OF COMPARABLE TIRE
A “comparable” new Goodyear tire may either be the same line of tire or, in the event the disabled tire is out of production, the same basic construc­tion and quality with different sidewall or tread configuration.
If a higher priced tire is accepted as replacement, the difference in price will be additional.
Any tire replacement under this warranty will be covered by the Goodyear warranty in effect at time of replacement.

DANGER
Disregarding any of the safety precautions and instructions contained in the Owner’s Manual or the Important Tire Safety Information in this booklet may result in tire failure or explosion causing serious personal injury or death.
34
Page 37
Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail due to improper maintenance or service factors. This could create a risk of property damage and serious or fatal injury. Disregarding any of the safe­ty precautions and instructions contained in this manual may result in tire failure or explosion caus­ing serious personal injury or death. For your safe­ty, comply with the following:
TIRE INFLATION
Keep tires inflated to the pressures recommended on the tire data placard. (See your Owner’s Manual for location.) These inflation pressures must be maintained as a minimum. However, do not exceed the maximum pressure rating indicated on the tire sidewall.
CHECK INFLATION PRESSURES ON ALL YOUR TIRES, INCLUDING THE SPARE, WHEN TIRES ARE COLD, AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH BEFORE DRIVING
Failure to maintain correct inflation may result in improper vehicle handling and may cause rapid and irregular tire wear, sudden tire destruction, loss of vehicle control and serious personal injury. Therefore, inflation pressures should be checked at least once a month and always prior to long dis­tance trips.
IMPORTANT TIRE SAFETY INFORMATION*
Pressures should be checked when tires are cold. The tires are cold when your vehicle has been driv­en less than a mile at moderate speed after being stopped for three or more hours.
CHECKING PRESSURE WHEN TIRES ARE HOT
If you must add air when your tires are hot, add four pounds per square inch (psi) (28kPa) above the recommended cold air pressure. Recheck the inflation pressure when the tire is cold.
For Example Only:
Gauge reading of hot tire: 32psi If recommended pressure is: 30psi Desired gauge reading of hot tire 30 + 4psi = 34psi
Check cold pressures as soon as possible, at least by the next day. Never “Bleed” air from hot tires as your tire will be underinflated. Use an accurate tire gauge to check pressures. Never allow children to air up tires.
DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS.
For replacement tires, the correct inflation pressure will be provided by your tire dealer, if not, refer to the vehicle decal.
Underinflation produces extreme flexing of the sidewalls and builds up heat which may result in sudden tire destruction and serious personal injury. Overinflation can cause the tire to be more susceptible to impact damage.
LOAD LIMITS
DO NOT OVERLOAD. DRIVING ON ANY OVER­LOADED TIRE IS DANGEROUS. Never load your tires beyond the load carrying limits molded into the sidewall of the tires or the maximum vehicle load limit as shown on the vehicle tire data placard, whichever is less. Overloading causes heat to build up which can lead to sudden tire failure and seri­ous personal injury.
SPEED LIMITS AND SPEED RATED TIRES
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS. Never operate your vehicle in excess of lawful speeds or the maximum speeds justified by the driving con­ditions. Excessive speeds or racing can cause heat buildup in a tire leading to possible failure and serious personal injury.
*Provided by and published at the request of the tire manufacturers/warrantors.
35
Page 38
IMPORTANT TIRE SAFETY INFORMATION*
Correct inflation pressure is especially important.
However, at high speeds, even with the correct inflation pressure, a road hazard, for example, is more difficult to avoid and if contact is made, there is a greater chance of causing tire damage than at the lower speed. Moreover, driving at high speed reduces the reaction time available to avoid acci­dents and bring your vehicle to a safe stop. If you see any damage to a tire or wheel, replace it with your spare tire and see your tire dealer at once.
Tire speed ratings do not imply that a vehicle can be safely driven at the maximum speed for which the tire is rated. In addition, some damages or improper repairs may cause a speed-rated tire to lose its speed rating. Exceeding the tire’s maximum speed rating will cause the tire to build up exces­sive heat which can cause tire damage that could result in sudden tire destruction and rapid air loss. Failure to control a vehicle with sudden air loss can lead to an accident. In any case, you should not exceed reasonable speeds as indicated by the legal limits and driving conditions.
36
SPEED SYMBOLS - are shown on the sidewall of some tires. The following table shows the maxi­mum speed corresponding to the symbol.
Speed Maximum Maximum Rating km/Hr mph
M 130 81
N 140 87
Q 160 99
H 210 130
*Some V (or VR) rated tires may have a speed capacity of greater than 149 mph (240 km/h).
Consult your tire manufacturer for maximum speed ratings if your vehicle capability exceeds this speed.

P 150 93
R 170 106
S 180 112
T 190 118
V* 240 149
Z** 240 149
**Z (or ZR) rated tires are designed for use on cars with maximum speed capabilities in excess of 149 mph (240 km/h). Consult yourtire manufacturer for
maximum speed capabilities.
†Although a tire may be speed rated, we do not endorse the operation of any vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful manner. Speed ratings are based on laboratory tests which relate to performance on the road, but are not applicable if tires are underinflat­ed, overloaded, worn out, damaged, altered, improperly repaired, or retreaded. Furthermore, tire speed ratings do not imply that vehicles can be safely driven at the maximum speed for which the tire is rated, particularly under adverse road and weather conditions or if the vehicle has unusual characteristics. Most highway passenger tires that do not have a speed symbol in the sidewall have a maximum speed rating of 105 mph. Light truck highway tires that do not have a speed symbol on the sidewall of the tire have a maximum speed of 87 mph. Some light truck tires may have higher maximum speeds; consult your tire dealer. The speed and other ratings of retreaded tires are assigned by the retreader and voids the original manufacturer’s ratings.
*Provided by and published at the request of the tire manufacturers/warrantors.
Page 39
IMPORTANT: In order to maintain the speed capa­bility of the vehicle, replacement tires must have speed ratings equal to or higher than those fitted as original equipment (as indicated on the vehicle placard or owners manual). If tires with lower speed ratings are fitted, the speed capability of the vehicle will be lowered to the maximum speed capability of the replacement tire as indicated on the above table. Remember...High speed driving can be dangerous and may be damaging to your tires. And...When driving at highway speeds, correct inflation pressure is especially important.
Contact the manufacturer of your tires for their position and assistance on the repair of speed­rated tires. When you are replacing tires that have a speed rating, you must replace with tires of the same or higher speed rating if the speed capability of the vehicle is to be maintained.
VISUAL INSPECTION
INSPECT YOUR TIRES. DO NOT DRIVE ON A DAM­AGED TIRE OR WHEEL. Checkyour tires frequently for scrapes, bulges, separations, cuts, snags, cracks, penetrations or excessive localized wear from hard braking. Also check for abnormal tire wear particu­larly on the edges of the tire tread which may be caused by misalignment or underinflation. Impacts can damage the inner portion of the tire without being visible on the outside. If damage can be seen on the tires or wheels, or if you suspect that possible impact damage may have occurred, replace with

spare at once and have your tire store or dealer inspect your tires immediately. Use of a damaged tire could result in tire destruction. When inspecting your tires, including the spare, check your air pres­sures. If your pressure check indicates that one of your tires has lost pressure of two pounds or more, look for signs of penetrations, valve leakage, or wheel damage that may account for the air loss.
All tires will wear out faster when subjected to high speeds as well as hard cornering, rapid starts, sud­den stops, frequent driving on roads which are in poor condition, and off-road use. Roads with holes and rocks or other objects can damage tires and cause misalignment of your vehicle. When you drive on such roads, drive on them carefully and slowly, and before driving again at normal or high­way speeds, examine your tires for any damage, such as cuts, bulges, penetrations, unusual wear patterns, etc.
WEAR BARS: Tires contain “Wear-Bars” in the grooves of the tire tread which show up when only
2/32nds of an inch (1.6mm) of tread is remaining. At this stage, your tires must be replaced. Tires worn beyond this stage are dangerous.
HAZARDS
Objects in the road that threaten a tire should be safely avoided. These objects are potholes, glass, metal, rocks, wood debris and the like. Unavoidable contact should prompt a thorough tire inspection. You may not always recall hitting an object that can damage or injure your tires. Ifwhile
driving, your vehicle experiences any unusual vibration, ride disturbance or noise and/or you suspect that possible damage to the tires or vehi­cle has occurred, DO NOT JAM OR LOCK YOUR BRAKES! Rather reduce your speed and drive with caution until you can safely pull off the road. Stop and inspect the tires. If the tire is underinflated or damaged, deflate, remove the tire and rim assem­bly and replace it with your spare. If you cannot detect a cause, have the vehicle towed to the near­est Infiniti dealer to have the vehicle inspected.
REPAIRING, MOUNTING AND DEMOUNTING OF TIRES Do not attempt to repair, mount or demount a tire yourself. Tire changing can be dangerous and must
be done by professionally trained persons using proper tools and procedures as specified by the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA). Follow these mounting recommendations. Your tires should be mounted on wheels of correct size and type and which are in good, clean condition. Bent, chipped or rusted wheels may cause tire damage. The inside of the tire must be free from foreign materials. Have your dealer check the wheels before mounting new tires. Mismatched tires and rims can explode during mounting. Also, mis­matched tires and rims can result in dangerous tire failure on the road. If a tire is mounted by error on the wrong-sized rim, do not remount it on the prop­er rim - scrap it. It may be damaged internally (which is not externally visible) by being danger­ously stretched and could fail on the highway.
37

IMPORTANT TIRE SAFETY INFORMATION*
Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires are mounted, have new valves of the correct type installed. Tubeless tires must be mounted only on wheels designed for tubeless tires, i.e., wheels which have safety humps or ledges.
Never perform a temporary repair, use an innertube or inject sealant as a permanent substitute for a prop­er repair. Only qualified persons should repair tires.
Be sure that all your valves have suitable valve caps. This will keep valve cores clean and clear and guard against leakage.
REPAIRS
WHENEVER POSSIBLE, SEE A TIRE DEALER AT ONCE.
Some tire manufacturers do not warrant any inspec­tion or repair process. The repair is entirely the responsibility of the repairer. Punctures in the tread
of a passenger tire which do not exceed 1/4 of an inch (6mm) in diameter can usually be repaired by following the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) Passenger and Light Truck Repair procedures.
Contact the manufacturer of your tires for its posi­tion and assistance as to the acceptable location for a proper repair and the repair of speed rated tires.
Do not use plug repairs. They may cause further damage to the tire. They are not always air tight and the plug may fail. Do not exceed posted speed
limits on any repaired tire. Certain tire manufactur­ers speed ratings are voided if the tire is repaired.
38
Although a tire was properly repaired, internal structural damage resulting from the puncture may have occurred. Some time later the damage may cause the tire to be removed from service. If the tire has a puncture in the tread which exceeds 1/4 inch (6mm), the tire must be replaced. If any tire has sustained a puncture, have the tire inspected internally by a tire dealer for possible damage that may have occurred.
Improper mounting and inflation procedures can cause an explosion of the tire/rim assembly. Only specially trained persons should perform these tasks. Contactyour tire store or dealer for assistance.
CAUTION
duce a flammable substance into a tire.
WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCING
Wheel alignment and balancing are important for safety and maximum mileage from your tires. Check how your tires are wearing at least once a month. If your tires are wearing unevenly, such as the inside shoulder of the tire wearing faster than the rest of the tread, or if you detect excessive vibration, your vehicle may be out of alignment or balance. These conditions not only shorten the life of your tires, but adversely affect the handling char­acteristics of your vehicle which could be danger­ous. If you detect irregular wear or vibration, have your alignment and balance checked immediately.
- Never, under any circumstance, intro-
*Provided by and published at the request of the tire manufacturers/warrantors.
Tires which have been run underinflated will show more wear on the shoulders than in the center of the tread.
HARD BRAKING
You must inspect your tires after any hard braking circum­stances or after tires have slid on the pavement. This can cause a flat spot in a section of the tire tread.
TIRE SPINNING
Never spin your tires above a speedometer reading of 35 mph (55 km/h) if your vehicle becomes stuck. The centrifugal force generated by the free spinning tire/wheel assembly may cause a sudden tire explosion; resulting in vehicle damage and/or seri­ous personal injury or death. Never allow anyone to stand near or behind a tire spinning at high speed while attempting to push a vehicle that is stuck. When in mud, sand, snow, ice or other slippery conditions, do not indulge in excessive wheel spin. In such conditions, with automatic transmission vehicles, by accelerating the engine excessively, it is possible to spin one of the drive tires beyond its speed capability. Thisis also true when balancing a drive tire/wheel assembly using the engine of the vehicle to spin the wheel.
TIRE TREAD
Tires must be replaced when the depth of the tread reaches 2/32 inch (1.6 mm). Tires are manufac­tured with tread wear indicators molded into the tire grooves which indicate tread wearout. As tires
Page 41
approach 2/32 inch (1.6 mm) wearout, the tread gauge becomes thinner and more vulnerable to the effects of road hazards. Also, worn tires are more subject to hydroplaning, which can cause loss of control. Therefore, visual tire inspection becomes more crucial as the tires wear out.
WORN TIRES
Never drive on worn tires. Tires should be replaced by trained personnel when 2/32nds of an inch tread depth remains, as indicated by the tread wear indicators molded into the tread grooves. In most states, it is illegal to drive with less than 2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining.
TIRE MIXING
For best performance select tires similar in size and load rating to the original equipment tires. It is rec-
ommended that the same size and type of tire be used on all four wheel positions. In certain tires, casing ply material and ply construction may vary as indicated on the sidewall of the tire. When changing or replacing tires, it is preferred that allfour tires are the same construction type (i.e., High Performance, All Season, Mud & Snow) and construction (Radial or Bias Ply). Tires which meet the Rubber Manufacturer’s Association (RMA) definition of mud and snow tires are marked M/S, M+S, M&S.
On such tires, this designation is molded into the sidewall. Tires without this notation are not recom-

mended for mud and/or snow driving.
Before mixing tires of different types on a vehicle in any configuration, be sure to check the vehicles owner's manual for its recommendations.
If snow tires are needed, it is necessary to select tires equivalent in size and load rating to the origi­nal equipment tires. Always fit performance snow tires in sets of four (4) for optimum mud and snow traction and maintenance of vehicle handling char­acteristics. If you do not, it may adversely affect the safety and handling of your vehicle. It is also important to check the vehicle owner's manual before mixing or matching tires on 4-wheel drive vehicles as this may require special precautions.
Please refer to your Owner's Manual for more infor­mation on tire replacement precautions.
TIRE ROTATION
Tires on your Infiniti vehicle should be rotated every 7,500 miles or as irregular wear develops. If irregular wear becomes apparent or if the wear rate on the tires is perceptibly uneven, the tires should be rotated in such a way to alleviate the problem. Check your vehicle for any mechanical problems and correct if necessary. Any rotation pattern or procedure may be followed including those indi­cated in the Owner’s Manual. Some tires have arrows on the sidewall showing the direction in which the tire should turn. When rotating this type
IMPORTANT TIRE SAFETY INFORMATION*
of tire, care must be taken to maintain the proper turning direction as indicated by the arrows. Some
vehicles have different tire sizes specified for front and rear axles. Tires on these vehicles should be rotated side to side. Where a temporary type spare
tire is available, it should not be included in the tire rotation schedule. Such tires are intended for tem­porary use only. Whenever only two tires are replaced, the new tires should be put on the rear axle of vehicles equipped with the same size tire on all four wheel positions.
TRAILER TOWING
If you anticipate towing a trailer, you should see a tire dealer for advice concerning the correct size of tire and pressure. Tire size and pressure will depend on the type and size of the trailer and hitch utilized, but in no case must the maximum cold inflation pressure or the tire load rating be exceed­ed. Check the tire decal and your Owner’s Manual for further recommendations on trailer towing.
TIRE ALTERATIONS
Do not perform any alterations on your tires. Alterations may prevent proper performance, lead­ing to tire damage, which can result in an accident. Tires which become unserviceable due to alter­ations such as truing, whitewall inlays, addition of balancing or sealant liquids, may be excluded from warranty coverage. Consult your tire warranty.
39

IMPORTANT TIRE SAFETY INFORMATION*
HIGH PRESSURE TEMPORARY SPARE TIRES
1) The high-pressure spare tire in your Infiniti vehicle is designed for temporary use only and must not be used continually as a regular tire. The standard tire should be repaired and/or replaced as soon as possible.
2) Avoid driving over obstacles that may damage the tire through impact or cutting, such as pot­holes, glass, metal, etc.
3) Speed must not exceed 50MPH (80km/h) for non-speed-rated temporary spare tires.
4) Temporary spare tires have a limited treadlife which can vary depending on road conditions and your driving habits. The spare tire should be returned to the trunk as soon as the stan­dard tire can be repaired or replaced.
5) Because the high-pressure spare tire was specifically designed for your car, it should not be used on any other vehicle.
6) Do not use snow chains on your high-pressure spare. This could cause damage to your vehicle.
7) Check the tire’s cold inflation pressure monthly and maintain at 60psi (4.2kg/cm
2
) even when
not in use.
40
8) The high-pressure spare tire should not be used with any other rim nor should standard tires, wheel covers, or trim rings be used on the high-pressure spare tire rim which was original­ly installed.
9) When the tread wear indicator appears on the tire, replace it only with the same type spare tire.
10) Do not enter an automatic carwash with a tem­porary spare tire fitted.
11) Do not make a sharp turn or apply the brakes suddenly when driving on a high-pressure tem­porary spare.
Note: When using any temporary type spare tire,
be sure to follow the vehicle Owner's Manual instructions.
TIRE STORAGE
All tires should be stored in a cool dry place indoors so that there is no danger of water collect­ing inside them.
When tires are stored they should be stored in a cool place away from sources of heat and ozone such as hot pipes and electric generators. Be sure that surfaces on which tires are stored are clean and free from grease, gasoline or other substances which could deteriorate the rubber. (Tires exposed to these materials during storage or driving could be subject to sudden failure.)
TO AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR TIRES AND POSSIBLE ACCIDENT:
• Check tire pressure at least once a month when tires are cold and before long trips.
• Do not underinflate/overinflate.
• Do not overload.
• Drive at moderate speeds, observe legal limits.
• Avoid driving over potholes, obstacles, curbs or edges of pavement.
• Avoid excessive wheel spinning.
• If you see any damage to a tire, replace with spare and see the tire manufacturer’s dealer or your Infiniti dealership.

INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO YOUR BRIDGESTONE RUN-FLAT TIRES
SAFETY WARNING
When in “run-flat” mode, serious injury or death may result from:
• Tire failure due to excessive operation while running flat.
• Aggressive driving, or driving at speeds greater than 55 mph and/or distances greater than 50 miles.
• Tire failure preceded by vibration. If the vehicle begins to vibrate, gradually reduce speed and stop at a safe location. Tire must be replaced before proceeding.
• Handling tire immediately following run-flat operation. Due to the significant amount of heat generated, allow tire to cool before handling.
• Tire or system failure due to service per­formed by anyone other than specially trained personnel. For assistance, contact Bridgestone/Firestone at 1-800-847-3272 or your Infiniti dealer. Call 1-800-662­6200 for the location of your nearest Infiniti retailer.
IMPORTANT TIRE SAFETY INFORMATION*
CARE OF YOUR RUN-FLAT TIRES
Because of the unique, state-of-the-art technology in your run-flat tires, the low pressure warning system, and the Infiniti wheel on which they are mounted, it is important that you return to your Infiniti dealer or Bridgestone/Firestone Certified Run-Flat retailer service center for each of the following:
y tire problem.
•An
• Tire rotation.
• Tire replacement. We recommend that you not mix run-flat tires with conventional non-run-flat tires as the handling characteristics of run-flat tires and conventional tires are different. Clearly you will not have the run-flat capability with the conventional tires.
• Any problems with the low tire pressure warn­ing system.
SAFETY WARNING
Your run-flattires are designed for limited oper­ation in a run-flat mode. The tires are not designed for continual or repeated driving with air pressure below that recommended by Infiniti. In that situation, your tires will get overheated. This can cause premature failure of your run-flat tires that could lead to serious personal injury or death.
TIRE REPAIRS
Your Bridgestone run-flat tires should not be repaired. If they are damaged, they should be replaced by your Bridgestone/Firestone Run-Flat Certified Retailer under the terms of the Bridgestone/Firestone Run Flat Tire Warranty or by your Infiniti dealer.
