NISSAN MAINTENANCE

We want you to enjoy your Nissan vehicle. This Service and Maintenance Guide is designed to help you make sure your vehicle receives proper and timely maintenance that is necessary. Key services are explained in detail, along with an outline of scheduled maintenance to help you maintain your vehicle.

EXTENDED SERVICE PLANS*

EXTENDED PROTECTION PLANS

Did you know you can drive your new Nissan for the next 8 years or 120,000** miles, almost worry-free of unexpected repair costs?

Nissan Security+Plus Extended Protection Plans deliver peace of mind by providing component coverage (up to 2,000 components), roadside assistance, and rental car benefits. Additionally, Security+Plus plans offer Na-

tionwide Coverage (over 1,000 Nissan dealers); use Genuine Nissan, Nissan Value Advantage, or Nissan-approved, (new or remanufactured parts), em-

ploy factory-trained technicians, and protect you against the rising cost of parts and labor.

Security+Plus Extended Protection Plans can be purchased any time within your vehicle’s original 3-year/36,000-mile new vehicle basic limited warranty period. If your vehicle is already older than those parameters, Pre-Owned vehicle service contracts can be purchased anytime within the 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty. Just contact your selling dealer and tell them you’d like to take advantage of one of the best mechanical breakdown plans available for your Nissan today.

EXTENDED SERVICE PLANS*

See your participating Nissan dealer for details.

GENUINE NISSAN COLLISION PARTS

If you have an accident, insist on Genuine Nissan Collision Parts. If you want your vehicle to be restored using parts made to Nissan’s original exacting specifications – if you want it to last, help to protect your personal safety and to help hold its resale value, the solution is simple. Tell your insurance agent and your repair shop to use only Genuine Nissan Collision Parts.

Many non-genuine parts are copies made from impressions of Nissan parts and may not match the specifications and performance standards of Genuine Nissan Parts. As a result, non-genuine parts may not look or fit right, and may be less safe.

The hood on your vehicle is a good example. Nissan designed it with hood buckling creases to help prevent the hood from penetrating the interior of your vehicle in an accident. Non-genuine parts may not provide such built-in safeguards.

In some states, the law says you must be advised if non-genuine parts are used to repair your vehicle. Why

should you take a chance?

* This warranty does not apply to vehicles or parts not distributed by Nissan North America and/or sold outside the United States.

Replacement Panel Limited Lifetime Corrosion Warranty*

If you have your collision damage repaired using Genuine Nissan Outer Sheet Metal Panels you don’t have to worry about corrosion. That’s because these panels are warranted against inside out rust-through perforation for as long as you own your Nissan. Another reason to insist on Genuine Nissan Collision Repair Parts.

DETERMINING THE PROPER MAINTENANCE INTERVAL
