Nissan remains a leader in energy performance with recognition by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a 2021 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence awardee. The coveted award is the highest honor given by the EPA to organizations that demonstrate superior leadership, innovation and commitment to environmental protection through energy efficiency. This is Nissan's 12th Partner of the Year recognition and 10th consecutive year achieving the Sustained Excellence Award for its environmental stewardship in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving energy management within its U.S. facilities. "Receiving the ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year award affirms our commitment to care for our communities by continuing to integrate practices that reduce our environmental impact," said Chris Goddard, manager, Energy and Environmental Engineering, Nissan U.S. "Sustainability requires proactive, sustained effort and Nissan understands its unique position to contribute to the fight for the future of our planet. It is an effort that we take seriously and we are ready to put in the work." more In 2020, Nissan achieved an absolute energy reduction of 21% across its U.S. manufacturing footprint. Since becoming an ENERGY STAR partner in 2006, Nissan has saved nearly 8 trillion BTUs of the energy required to manufacture and assemble vehicles. This savings is equivalent to the amount of energy needed to drive a Nissan LEAF more than 8.3 billion miles or more than 44 round trips from the Earth to the sun. Additional efforts to reduce energy usage include switching to more efficient technologies like LED lighting, engaging all employees in energy management, and including energy efficiency in design, such as environmentally friendly paint processes. With a strong commitment to bettering communities where it does business, Nissan has used its expertise to help Middle Tennessee and Central Mississippi schools with their energy-saving initiatives, with many earning ENERGY STAR certification. "ENERGY STAR award-winning partners are showing the world that delivering real climate solutions makes good business sense and promotes job growth," said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. "Many of them have been doing it for years, inspiring all of us who are committed to tackling the climate crisis and leading the way to a clean energy economy." Carbon neutrality goal The 2021 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence recognition underpins Nissan's goal to achieve carbon neutrality across the company's global operations and the life cycle of its products by 20501, building on its decades-long programs to reduce emissions and provide electric vehicle technologies that benefit the environment and society. Nissan's ambition also expands upon past initiatives under the Nissan Green Program and the company's ongoing work to minimize the carbon footprint of its products and operations. 1) "Life cycle" includes raw material extraction, manufacturing, use, and the recycling or reuse of end-of-life vehicles.

The 2021 Nissan Murano crossover joins three other 2021 Nissan models in being awarded the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS)1 TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation. The Nissan Rogue, Maxima and Altima were announced in February as earning IIHS's top safety award. All four models feature Nissan Safety Shield® 360 as standard equipment.2 The addition of Murano to the IIHS annual listing of  TOP SAFETY PICK+ was the result of new ratings for headlights and pedestrian crash avoidance. Murano's standard front crash prevention system earned "superior" ratings in both the vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations. Murano's standard LED headlights earned a "good" rating. To qualify as a TOP SAFETY PICK+, a vehicle must have good ratings in all six IIHS crashworthiness tests — driver- and passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints. It must also be available with a front crash prevention system that earns "advanced" or "superior" ratings in both the vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations and come with "good" or "acceptable" headlights across all trim levels and packages.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is an independent, nonprofit scientific and educational organization dedicated to reducing deaths, injuries, and property damage from motor vehicle crashes through research and evaluation and through education of consumers, policymakers, and safety professionals.

Parents know that finding the right Child restraint system (CRS) is a vital part of protecting our children on the road. Here at Nissan, we have always recognized that the safety of our passengers is at the core of everything we do. This is why, in 2002, we started the Snug Kids® program. Snug Kids® is an industry-first initiative designed to help Nissan drivers navigate the sometimes-confusing world of CRS. Vehicle-CRS Fit Program Nissan safety engineers have evaluated hundreds of car seats for use in Nissan vehicles Nissan safety engineers, certified as Child Passenger Safety Technicians, have spent thousands of hours evaluating hundreds of child restraints. The CRS were installed in our vehicles, in all appropriate modes of use, including rear-facing, forward-facing, and booster. more General Installation Tips 01. Using a non-slip mat can help stabilize the CRS against the vehicle’s seat bottom and seatback, especially on a slick seating surface, such as leather. Kitchen cabinet liner material works quite well. 02. To install the CRS tightly, it is easier if a second person helps you. While one person pushes down and into the seatback to compress the seat cushions, the second person should pull the seat belt tightly around the CRS to remove all slack. 03. Confirm that the belt is not twisted and the buckle is positioned correctly. A twisted belt or improperly facing buckle may inhibit proper tightening. 04. Be careful not to pinch the seat belt webbing when pushing down on the CRS. If the person pushing down on the CRS is also pushing down the on the webbing, the webbing cannot tighten around the CRS. 05. If the vehicle’s seatback is adjustable, as in some sport utility vehicles or vans, it can be advantageous to first install the CRS with the seatback somewhat reclined. Then, after securing the CRS, move the vehicle seatback upright. This will tighten the installation significantly. 06. Tighten the belt around the CRS in stages. First, tighten the lap belt by pulling the webbing through the buckle location. Then pull the excess webbing into the shoulder belt and continue to tighten. 07. For proper installation and routing for vehicles with rear head restraints, please see your vehicle’s owner’s manual. 08. For installation of high back boosters, adjustment or removal of a vehicle’s adjustable head restraint may improve its fit. 09. All new CRSs manufactured after 9/1/02 are LATCH-equipped (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children). See the CRS and the vehicle’s owner’s manual for installation instructions. 10. When the installation is complete, the installation should be checked by pushing side-to-side on the restraint at the belt routing location. If the movement is more than an inch, additional tightening is necessary. If after several attempts at tightening, an inch or less movement cannot be attained, try a different seating location or call Nissan at 1-800-NISSAN-1 for assistance. Tips For A Secure Fit In Child Restraint Systems (CRS) Rear-facing CRS (Infants/Toddlers) A child under the age of 1 year should always ride in a rear-facing CRS. A child should remain in a rear-facing CRS until they reach the maximum height or weight allowed by the CRS manufacturer. Keep a child in a rear-facing CRS as long as possible. Forward-facing CRS (Toddlers/Small Children) A child should use a forward-facing CRS with a harness until they reach the maximum height or weight limit allowed by the CRS manufacturer. Keep a child in the forward-facing seat with harness for as long as possible. Booster Seats (Large Children) Once the child outgrows the forward-facing CRS, a booster seat should be used to obtain proper seat belt fit. Once the child has grown so the shoulder belt is no longer on or near the face and neck and the lap belt can be positioned properly across the lower hips or upper thighs, use the seat belt without the booster seat.
