Ultra-sonic sensors in the bumper detect obstacles and issue audio-visual warnings to the driver.

Airbags
The Baleno is equipped with front airbags, additional curtain airbags, and side airbags on the GLX model, to protect the driver and passenger in case of collision.
ESP®*

Hill Hold Control
During standing starts on slopes or hills, Hill Hold Control prevents the vehicle from rolling backwards when the driver releases the brake.
Pedestrian Injury Mitigating Body
The Baleno’s bonnet, fenders, front windscreen wiper area, and other key areas are engineered to absorb impacts and reduce leg, and head injuries to pedestrians in the event of an impact.
TRANSMISSION & HANDLING
The Baleno is available with 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission, both optimised for an impressive balance of performance and fuel efficiency. The automatic’s straight-type shift pattern gives simple and effortless operation, while the manual transmission is light, smooth, and precise thanks to the convergent locating system.
