| ![]() Guys After 2 1/2 months and 7500 kms of owning the Creta, I got the first niggle. The display of the music system has gone crazy. - I cannot click "agree" on the opening screen - Only 20%-50% of the contents are displayed. - Rear cam initiates when put into reverse gear, but the screen goes blank after a milli second - The only way I can get through and change the source of the music (Radio, USB, Bluetooth, etc) is when I connect the phone and make a call. Once the call is disconnected, the"Agree" screen disappears. ![]() I took the car to Hyundai Motor Plaza service centre in Alandur yesterday. Two electricians tried their luck in updating the system, but the display did not respond to their treatment. The electricians gave up and informed the Service Engineer that the music system has to be replaced. I was asked to come today but when I called my Service Adviser, Mr Dinesh, he informed me that Mobis were yet give the replacement head unit. Hopefully, I will have it replaced tomorrow. Other than this, the car is amazing, especially (touch wood) the engine - is simply amazing. The build is a bit flimsy when compared to my earlier car, the All New Fiesta. I'm unable to put an ownership review due to lack of time. Hope to have it written soon. Last edited by ampere : 6th October 2016 at 18:13. Reason: Fixed image orientation |

Two things to check - 1) Take the car on the highways and check the fuel economy. 2) Get the emission testing done. If the numbers are unusually high, it means the engine is not burning fuel efficiently. | |

And try switching petrol bunks. Fuel quality also plays a major role in this. | |

1. The service centre tested the mileage on the highway - they found it at 14 kmpl which the driver acknowledged was lower than the standard of 15 - 16 kmpl. They filled the petrol from a petrol pump of their choice. 2. I have taken petrol from two pumps close to my residence for testing the mileage. With the pump in 1 above, that makes it 3 pumps in all. We normally take fuel (petrol, diesel) for my other cars (Innova, Honda City - since sold) from these pumps (over 5 years now) and have never faced mileage problems. 3. My last mileage check done yesterday gave 5.9 kmpl; this is in the range which I have been getting (5.85 - 6.1 kmpl) over the last month and half since I started checking as per the directions of the service centre - top the tank, run the car and clock the kms, top it again. 4. Emission test done earlier today gives all parameters as normal :- CO: 0.011%; HC: 259 ppm; CO2 / Non methane HC: 0.40%; O2 / Reactive HC: 19.98 ppm; all others: 0. 5. The vehicle has done about 2,450 km till date. It has been run-in correctly under the usual city running conditions. The first free service did not find anything wrong with the vehicle. 6. Incidentally, my 10+ year old petrol Honda City used to give a mileage of 9 - 10 kmpl in the same city conditions in Mumbai - our residence or places of work / frequent visits have not changed. I replaced the Honda City with the Creta in July. The driver is very careful / conservative, has been with us for a long time, and drives the other vehicles as well where I do not face any mileage issues. So what we have here is a marginally lower FE on highways, which can (probably) be put down to the "absence" of perfect testing conditions. Is that right? However, the dismal performance on the city circuit is worrying. Is there any technical reason for this? 5.85-6.1 kmpl is like the pits! Last edited by earthian : 28th September 2016 at 13:46. | |||

1) 14 kmpl on highways means everything is allright with the car's engine. 2) Pretty much no car gives 2.5 times higher highway mileage than city mileage. 3) Car is driven by a driver. I have a feeling the driver is sitting in the car with engine ON for a long time - for either listening to music or for switching on the air-conditioner. | |

| ![]() Thank you, smartcat. We had thought about this, but since the driver has been around for more than 10 years and such an issue was not being faced in the other cars, we first wanted to check if there could be a technical reason for this low FE. |

Thank you for your advice. I've not had this driver problem with any of my other cars - we do random and surprise checks, and also as evidenced by good mileage. However, in order to remove all reasonable doubts, I shall test the mileage under self drive and not give the Creta to my driver at all during the next few days. Best regards mods: sorry for the back to back posts. | |

Nanook came on 17th Sep 2015 and after that I have kept details of each and every expenditure, which is entered in an excel file and is religiously updated every week. So i have all details of fuel filled in one year and distance covered during each drive. The summary of one last one year is as follows :- Total fuel filled : 876.16 (ltrs) Approximate balance : 27 ltrs (even if i am off by 5 ltrs result difference is minimal) Used Fuel : 849.16 ltrs. Km : 10719 kms . FE till date : 12.62 kmpl. Now around 75 % of my driving has been on highways and rest in local conditions. On highways, i generally drive at speeds of 90 to 110 kpmh, whereas in local driving, due to company restrictions, speed is 20-30 kmph. Hope this helps.
