tion, refer to "Brake Fluid" in chap-
ter 7). After adding brake fluid, check
all brake components for fluid leaks. If
a brake fluid leak is found, or if the

brakes do not operate properly, do not
drive the vehicle. Have the vehicle
inspected by an authorized HYUNDAI

Dual-diagonal braking system
Your vehicle is equipped with dual-diago-
nal braking systems. 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 work-
ing, 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 the brakes fail while you are driving,
shift to a lower gear for additional engine
braking and stop the vehicle as soon as
it is safe to do so.
