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 address the problem, a special automotive complaint resolution program called AUTO LINE isavailable 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.

The BBB must send you a final decision in your case within forty (40) days (plus7 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.

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 law-

See the owner’s manual for information relevant to proper operation ofthe vehicle, including the recommended fuels and fluids.

INFINITI OWNER SATISFACTION AND ASSISTANCE

suit 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 “Supplement to 2006 Infiniti Warranty Information Booklet & 2006 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 ofthe 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 discuss 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 2006 Infiniti Warranty Information Booklet & 2006 Owner’s Manual” for important information concerning consumer rights in your state.

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 ofparts 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.

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

2006 INFINITI CALIFORNIA VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTIES

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 willbe denied solely because 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 repairsas 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.

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 2006 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

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 INDIVIDUALUSING 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.
