EXTENDED SERVICE PLANS*

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

Many non-genuine parts are copies made from impres-sions of Nissan parts and may not match the specifica-tions and performance standards of Genuine NissanParts. As a result, non-genuine parts may not look or fitright, and may be less safe.

The hood on your vehicle is a good example. Nissandesigned it with hood buckling creases to help prevent thehood from penetrating the interior of your vehicle in anaccident. Non-genuine parts may not provide such built-insafeguards.

In some states, the law says you must be advised ifnon-genuine parts are used to repair your vehicle. Whyshould you take a chance?

Replacement Panel Limited LifetimeCorrosion Warranty*If you have your collision damage repaired using GenuineNissan Outer Sheet Metal Panels you don’t have to worryabout corrosion. That’s because these panels are war-ranted against inside out rust-through perforation for aslong as you own your Nissan. Another reason to insist onGenuine Nissan Collision Repair Parts.

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

GENUINE NISSAN COLLISION PARTS

As a condition of your vehicle’s warranty, you are responsible for properly maintaining your vehicle. Inmaintaining your vehicle, you should follow either Schedule 1 or Schedule 2 as listed below. Use theseguidelines to determine which maintenance schedule to use.

● Towing a trailer, or using a camper orcar-top carrier

SCHEDULE 2 (less severe operatingconditions), every 7,500 miles or 6months, whichever comes firstSchedule 2 features 7,500-mile serviceintervals; with Schedule 2 fewer mainte-nance items are regularly checked or re-placed than with Schedule 1.Generally, Schedule 2 applies only tohighway driving in temperate conditions.Use Schedule 2 only if you primarily oper-ate your vehicle under conditions otherthan those listed in Schedule 1.

PREMIUM MAINTENANCE*
