diagonally split dual braking system
which will ensure that in the event of
one of the brake circuits becoming
defective, approximately fifty per cent
of the normal braking performance will
be available.
If failure of one of the circuits occurs,
the required amount of pedal effort,
pedal travel and stopping distance will
be increased. Use of the gearbox is
recommended to assist in bringing the

rived from the engine and therefore, in
the event of the engine stopping or the
vehicle being towed, pedal efforts will
be substantially increased.

the ignition is turned "on", contact
the nearest Hyundai authorised re-
pairer before further operating the
