After adding fluid, if no other trouble is found, the car should be carefully driven to a Hyundaidealer for inspection. If further trouble is experienced, the vehicle should not be driven at all but taken to a dealer by aprofessional towing service or some other safe method. Your Hyundai is equipped with dual-diagonal brakingsystems. This means you still have braking on two wheels even if one of the dual systems should fail. With only oneof the dual systems working, more than normal pedal travel and greater pedal pressure are required to stop the car.Also, the car will not stop in as short a distance with only a portion of the brake system working. If the brakes fail whileyou are driving, shift to a lower gear for additional engine braking and stop the car as soon as it is safe to do so. B260K01MC-DAT
