Security Features
Various changes have been made in the new Creta in terms of look, design, and features. However, The significant change that has been seen is about security. The instrument console of the SUV is equipped with a blind-spot monitoring camera display. In addition to keeping the driver alert to any oncoming vehicle, this system also functions in situations when cyclists, pedestrians, or other vehicles are ahead. Not only this, the system applies autonomous braking to prevent collision without the driver’s action. Along with the autonomous braking system, Hyundai has also included the Left Convergence Detection feature. It means, if there is a collision or if a vehicle comes towards you in the wrong direction, then the vehicle will activate this feature and apply the breaks immediately.
