The 2024 Nissan warranty protects all your vehicle’s systems and components against the highly unlikely event of a manufacturing issue. As your Nissan dealer, we want to tell you more about the comprehensive coverage your new Nissan enjoys.
Basic Coverage
This warranty covers most of your Nissan’s systems and applies for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. If any system or component covered by this warranty fails to work correctly or is defective in any way, it will be repaired or replaced using Nissan-approved parts at no charge. Coverage extends throughout the United States and Canada, provided your vehicle is registered in the US.
Certain situations are exempt from coverage, including accidental damage, damage caused by unauthorized modifications, normal wear and tear, and improper maintenance. These excluded situations are detailed in your warranty handbook.
Powertrain Coverage
The powertrain consists of your engine, transmission, and drivetrain. It also includes your transaxle and restraint system. Like the basic warranty above, there are some exceptions to coverage, which are explained in your warranty. All components in the systems in this warranty are protected against any unforeseen manufacturing issues for five years or 60,000 miles.
Corrosion Protection
Metal is very susceptible to rust and corrosion, and all the metal panels and sections in your vehicle are specifically protected against this threat. The metal sections are covered in a protective coating during the production process, and this protection does not need to be renewed. If corrosion appears anywhere on your Nissan despite this protection, the affected panel will be replaced at no cost. Corrosion protection applies for five years and unlimited mileage.
Service Adjustment Coverage
Service adjustments are any adjustments made to your vehicle that don’t require replacing parts. They include wheel alignment, balancing, drive belt tensioning, and other corrective issues. Any adjustments necessary will be performed at no charge for the first year or 12,000 miles.
California Vehicle Emissions Control Warranty
The California emissions standards are followed here in Pennsylvania, and they are more stringent in emissions reductions than the Federal emissions requirements. Almost all components and systems in the emissions control system are protected against any defects for three years or 50,000 miles. Certain systems, like the catalytic converter, have enhanced coverage that applies for seven years or 70,000 miles.
After Your Warranty
All warranties end, but protection for your Nissan doesn’t have to. The Nissan Security+Plus vehicle protection plans allow you to extend protection far beyond the original warranties. You can choose the plan and terms you want at any authorized dealership.
If you’d like more information about your warranty or to choose a protection plan, contact us today at Courtesy Nissan in Altoona, PA.
The 2024 Nissan Murano is a highly distinctive crossover that will capture the attention of onlookers in the right way. Inside, you’ll find comfort and a wide array of features on all trims, making this car a must-buy.
1. Heated Front Seats
If you enjoy a little luxury and want something to help heat you up in winter, then you’ll adore the heated front seats in the Murano. They’re standard on all trims, which makes it stand out from the crowd. Although it’s a simple feature, it does a whole lot to enhance the ride experience.
2. Safety Shield 360
Safety Shield 360 isn’t one feature that makes the Murano an essential buy: it’s a whole bunch of them. It includes the following features:
- Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
- High Beam Assist
- Blind Spot Warning
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Lane Departure Warning
- Rear Automatic Braking
These features work together to create as safe a ride as possible for you, and everyone on the road. Knowing your car has features that actively help you prevent accidents can make driving a much more relaxing experience.
3. Illuminated Audio Controls
It’s not always easy to change the volume of your music while driving, as it typically requires taking your hands off the wheel. You don’t have to do that in the Murano, as the controls are on the steering wheel. You can easily see them at night, too, as they’re illuminated. Easy-to-see and easy-to-access audio controls lead to a less distracted driving experience when you want to alter the audio.
4. Siri Eyes Free
If you have an iPhone, then you can sync it up to your car’s infotainment system and use Siri Eyes Free. This allows you to control parts of your iPhone without so much as glancing at it.
There’s a voice command button on your steering while that you press before making a request, letting you make calls, set reminders, and open apps while driving safely. It’s great for asking Siri to play some music or make a note of something you want to remember later.
5. Highly Adjustable Seating
On all trims, the seats are power-adjustable, so you never need to play around with manual controls when seeking more comfort. On the base trim, you can move the front driver seat in 8 different directions. Many competitor vehicles only allow you to adjust the seat in 6 or fewer directions on the base trim, so it’s easier to get comfortable in the Murano than it is in the competition.
Visit Courtesy Nissan in Altoona, PA to take the Nissan Murano out for a test drive today. Talk to our sales team at 888-314-4487 if you have any questions about the vehicle.
Off-Road Adventure Awaits: The 2024 Nissan Frontier
If you are looking for a tough and rugged midsized pickup truck with exceptional off-roading capabilities, you can hardly do better than the 2024 Nissan Frontier. Armed with an impressive catalog of thoughtful features, the Frontier aims to deliver both robust performance and everyday practicality, whether you’re navigating city streets or conquering backcountry trails.
A Highly-Capable Powertrain
The Nissan Frontier handles heavy loads and demanding tasks with ease, thanks to its sturdy 3.8-liter V6 that cranks out 310 ponies and up to 281 lb-ft of brute force torque. This allows the Frontier to offer one of the best towing and payload capacities in its class, with a towing capacity of up to 6,640 pounds and a payload capacity of up to 1,620 pounds.
Despite being a brute, the Frontier handles like a dream, providing a smooth and composed driving experience on both rough terrain and paved roads.

A True Off-Roader
While the Frontier can more than handle itself on dirt roads in its base form, its Pro-4X version is built to give Wranglers and Broncos a run for their money. Equipped with a hardy 4X4 system with low-range gearing for enhanced traction during slippery situations, a locking rear differential for relentless torque, Bilstein off-road shock absorbers, and skid plates for undercarriage protection, the Frontier Pro-4X is at home navigating rocky inclines or forging through muddy terrain.
Thoughtful Bed Features

Comfy and Practical Interior
While the Frontier’s exterior is built rugged to withstand extreme condition, its interior can be as plush as that of a luxury SUV. Available soft-touch leather upholstery, a sunroof, heated front seats with lumbar support, a heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, a wireless charging pad, and a 10-speaker Fender surround-sound music system ensure an exceptionally comfortable riding experience.
For your connectivity and entertainment, the Frontier features a responsive 8-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, as well as available navigation and Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities. And with a host of safety and driver-assist features such as cruise control, forward-collision mitigation, and available adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring, the Frontier’s cabin is not only supremely comfortable and relaxing, but safe as well.

Performance Unleashed: The 2024 Nissan Z
With no shortage of horsepower and a distinctive design, the 2024 Nissan Z injects a healthy dose of modern muscle into a legendary heritage. The model stays true to its performance roots while incorporating advanced technology for a truly exhilarating drive.
2024 Nissan Z Power
Nissan designed the 2024 Z with pure performance in mind. Under the hood, a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine delivers a whooping 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque for a lightning-fast 0-60 time. Two transmission options enable you to choose from a 6-speed manual for full shift control and track-driving thrills, or a 9-speed automatic for those who want outstanding performance in a laid-back ride.
Gearheads craving more fury can find it in the range-topper Z NISMO. This trim level boasts a NISMO-tuned engine churning 420 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque. Nissan pairs this engine exclusively with the 9-speed automatic transmission for optimized performance and gear-shifting experience.
Precision Handling
The 2024 Z blends the engine’s raw power with performance features that enhance the model’s handling and agility. Speed-sensitive power steering minimizes the level of steering assistance at high speeds for enhanced control during sharp turns. In the Z Performance RWD and higher trims, a mechanical limited-slip differential optimizes power distribution to the driving wheels for enhanced traction in challenging road conditions.
In the NISMO model, exclusive wheels and brakes team up with an aerodynamic body to enhance stability and driving precision, especially when driving on a track.
A Driver-Focused Interior
With its two-seat capacity and driver-focused cockpit, the new Nissan Z gives off serious performance car vibes. A standard 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat provides excellent support and ensures comfortable rides. Steering wheel controls keep vehicle information and entertainment at your fingertips.
Driving is made easy by features like an auto-dimming rearview mirror, while 6.9 cubic feet of cargo area provide enough space for those moments when you want to take the Z on a shopping spree.
Innovative Tech Features
The 2024 Z seamlessly integrates technology into the driving experience. A center touchscreen pairs with a 12.3-inch reconfigurable instrument cluster, so you can see car data and access entertainment without effort. Siri EyesFree comes standard on all trim levels, while the higher trims also boast built-in Alexa and Google Assistant.
Other highlights on the higher trim levels include built-in navigation, NissanConnect services with Wi-Fi hotspot capability, Sirius Traffic, and Sirius Travel Link.

You want to keep your Nissan looking as good as possible, inside and out. Your Nissan exterior needs some love to protect and care for the paint, and your Nissan dealer can give you more tips and take care of those issues that a cleaning can’t fix.
Regular Washing
This is the foundation of exterior care, and it’s not to be skipped. Washing your car at least once a week helps get rid of contaminants, preventing them from etching into the paint. Choose a high-quality car wash soap specifically designed for automotive use. Avoid household detergents, as they can strip away protective wax and harm the paint.
Use microfiber cloths or soft sponges to wash your car. Abrasive materials can scratch the paint surface. Always use one bucket for soapy water and another for rinsing your sponge. This prevents dirt from being reintroduced to the car’s surface. Finally, ensure all soap is rinsed off thoroughly to avoid streaks and residue that can damage the paint.
Waxing and Polishing
Waxing your Nissan’s exterior provides a protective barrier against the elements, while polishing helps restore the paint’s shine and smooth out minor imperfections. Wax acts as a shield against the sun’s harmful UV rays, which can cause the paint to fade and oxidize, and it creates a hydrophobic layer that repels water, preventing water spots and reducing the risk of rust formation.
Use a high-quality polish suitable for your car’s paint type. Test a small area first to ensure compatibility or ask us if it’s right for your Nissan. Always polish your car before applying wax to remove any imperfections and create a smooth surface for the wax to adhere to.
Parking and Storage
Whenever possible, park your car in a shaded area or under a carport to protect it from direct sunlight, which can cause the paint to fade. While trees provide shade, they also drop sap, leaves, and bird droppings, which can damage the paint, so don’t use those for protection. If you have a garage, use it.
Invest in a high-quality car cover that is breathable and designed for outdoor use. Ensure it fits your Nissan snugly to prevent it from being blown off by the wind.
Regular Inspections and Touch-Ups
Regularly inspecting your Nissan’s exterior allows you to identify and address any issues before they become major problems. Small scratches and chips can be repaired easily if caught early, and we can do both paintless dent repair and fix road rock chip damage quickly in our body shop. We use sophisticated color-matching paint, and taking care of these issues keeps away rust and keeps the paint looking fresh.

The tires of your car are crucial to your road safety. To maintain optimal traction and performance, car tires should be kept as uniform as possible in wear and size. As tires tend to wear down unevenly over time, it’s important to have them routinely rotated, which combats uneven wear and keeps tires in usable condition for longer. Let’s look at how frequently you should visit your local Nissan dealership for tire rotation.
It’s generally advised to have tires rotated every 5,000 to 7,500 miles for drivers with front or rear-wheel drive cars. This usually amounts to every six months. If you have an all-wheel-drive vehicle, you may need more frequent rotations. It’s best to check your owner’s manual and tire warranty for specific guidance on rotation intervals.
Factors That Accelerate Uneven Tire Wear
All vehicles, even those that are well-maintained, experience uneven tire wear. This phenomenon occurs because of unequal weight distribution across the car. The extra strain put on the front tires by steering and braking also takes its toll.
However, uneven wear can be accelerated by various vehicle faults such as misaligned wheels, suspension problems, under-inflation, or over-inflation. If you notice any of your tires wearing down excessively, your car might have one of these problems. While rotating your tires, the technician can also identify and repair underlying faults.
What Happens If You Neglect To Rotate Your Tires?
Uneven tire wear can lead to all kinds of problems. Firstly, it causes tires to wear out prematurely, forcing you to replace your tires more frequently, which can be expensive. Secondly, uneven tire wear reduces your handling, lessening the degree of control you have over your vehicle. This impacts both your road safety and driving pleasure.
With tires of differing sizes and conditions, your car is also more susceptible to the risk of skids and blowouts. Furthermore, the additional road resistance from uneven tires reduces fuel efficiency, increasing your monthly gas expenditure. On top of all this, your drives will become gradually noisier and rougher with uneven tires. You can minimize all of these issues with regular rotations.
Schedule Routine Tire Rotations at Your Nearest Nissan Dealership
The surest way to ensure you never accidentally miss a rotation is to set up a routine servicing schedule at your local dealership. Many drivers opt to combine their rotations with changing their oil and having their brakes inspected.
Visit Courtesy Nissan PA in Altoona, PA, today to have your tires swapped around and your car restored to optimal performance and safety. We’re a local full-service dealership providing the region’s drivers with top-notch used and pre-owned vehicles plus prompt, courteous vehicle maintenance and repair services.
Every Nissan dealer will recommend that you arrange a regular oil change for your vehicle, but some car owners make the mistake of thinking that this is an element of their routine maintenance that they can overlook. Unfortunately, they may end up learning the hard way that regularly changing your oil is crucial for their Nissan’s longevity.
Cushioning From Wear
By regularly changing your Nissan’s oil, your car’s engine will be better cushioned from the wear and tear that it will inevitably experience during everyday driving. Freshly changed oil will keep your engine well-lubricated, cooling down its components, preventing corrosion and rust, and keeping gaskets and seals in good condition for longer.
Protecting Against Damage
When your engine oil is oil and dirty, it can cause damage to your Nissan’s engine. Contaminants like debris and dirt can stop your engine’s components from functioning correctly, causing blockages when they move through them. Changing the oil will remove those impurities, so your engine can be protected from long-term damage and continue to ensure smooth operation of all its parts.
Guarding Against Overheating
Your Nissan’s engine contains many moving parts that can generate friction when not properly cooled with clean engine oil. Excess heat build-up under your hood can result in damage to the engine’s internal components that will eventually require costly repairs to be carried out. In a worst-case scenario, the heat could even reach a level so high that a fire could result, putting you in danger.
Improved Fuel Efficiency
When your vehicle’s engine is properly lubricated with fresh, clean, oil, it will operate more smoothly and efficiently. Efficient engines require less fuel to run, so you’ll be able to get more mileage from every tank of fuel, saving yourself money in the long run.
Reduced Emissions
We’re all becoming more aware of our impact on the environment and the importance of taking action to prevent further climate change, so if you’re keen to reduce your carbon footprint, regularly changing your oil will help you to be more eco-friendly since clean oil results in fewer harmful emissions.
Do I Need to Change My Oil?
Changing your oil should be carried out regularly in accordance with the recommended schedule for your vehicle. Your owner manual will outline how frequently you should visit your dealership to have your oil changed. Unless you’re a trained mechanic, you should always take your vehicle to a professional to have your oil changed since specialist knowledge is required to complete the job correctly.
If you need advice about when to change your Nissan’s oil, call Courtesy Nissan PA in Altoona, PA, today. We’re on hand to make sure you enjoy trouble-free motoring and the longest possible lifespan for your Nissan.
2 Great EV Options From Nissan
First unveiled in 2009, the Nissan Leaf helped pioneer the electric vehicle market in the United States, winning hearts and minds with its city-centric compact cuteness and zippy utility, and for over 10 years, the Leaf was the only Nissan EV on the market. But the 2022 introduction of the Nissan Ariya changed all that, adding heft, muscle, and style to Nissan’s electric lineup. Today they stand as a perfect pairing of eco-friendly punch and power.
The Gentle and Friendly Leaf
The tech has advanced significantly from the day of its introduction, but the 2024 Nissan Leaf shares the cheerful, eco-friendly soul of its elder editions. It’s a practical choice for those new to EVs or with modest daily driving needs. The Leaf S’s 147-horsepower electric motor pairs with a 40.0-kWh battery pack to offer a range of up to 180 miles, while the more potent SV Plus trim offers a 214 horsepower engine and a 60 kWh battery for a range of up to 212 miles, more than sufficient for city commutes and short trips.
The Leaf remains a staple in the subcompact market, but it manages to pack 92.4 cubic feet of passenger space and 23.6 cubic feet of cargo volume into a package that’s less than 175 inches long. That makes the Leaf a fantastic choice for eco-conscious city-dwellers who scoff at parking purgatory. The Leaf’s infotainment system is as advanced as its engine, offering Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Bluetooth connectivity standard on the NissanConnect 8-inch color display with multi-touch.
The Sleek and Stylish Ariya
The Ariya is an EV SUV that uses its sleek lines and captivating curves to attract those who want the eco benefits of an electric vehicle but who may want a bit more space. With multiple drivetrains and configurations available, Ariya buyers can choose single- or dual-motor variants, ranging from 214 to 389 horsepower, and 221 to 442 lb-ft of torque. Battery packs offer 63 or 87 kWh, for a maximum range of 289 miles in the right configuration.
Passengers get more room in the Ariya at 101.2 cubic feet, with cargo volume comparable to the Leaf’s, and its elevated price tag comes with perks in the cockpit such as a 12.3″ NissanConnect display, a 12.3″ digital dashboard, and a head-up display on standard on all trims. Amazon’s Alexa is along for the ride, too. And families will be comforted to know that the Ariya is one of the safest cars on the road, an IIHS Top Safety Pick+.
Whether the Leaf’s nimble and zippy stature puts a grin on your face or you prefer the Ariya’s more refined and enlarged cabin, there’s an EV by Nissan that’s right for you. Book your test drive today at Courtesy Nissan in Altoona, PA, and discover an EV that moves you.
