1. Drive carefully to the nearest safe
location and stop your vehicle.
2. With the engine stopped, check the
brake fluid level immediately and add
fluid as required (For more details,
refer to “Brake Fluid” section in
chapter 9). After adding brake fluid,

the brakes do not operate properly, do
not drive the vehicle. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-
diagonal braking system. This means you
still have braking on two wheels even if
one of the dual systems should fail.
With only one of the dual systems
working, more than normal pedal travel
and greater pedal pressure is required to
stop the vehicle.
Also, the vehicle will not stop in as short
a distance with only a portion of the
brake system working.
If you experience a malfunction with
the brake system while driving, attempt
to slow your vehicle by coasting or
by using engine braking. You may be
able to reduce your vehicle speed by
manually downshifting to a lower gear.
Use Manual Shift Mode using either the
gear shift lever or the paddle shifters (if
equipped) to shift to a lower gear.
