Maybe because Fi is not a type of person that would do dangerous stuff, and the fact that she is dating Homer..

When Ellie and Fi were in the truck, and Fi said called Homer 'Honey' through the walkie talkie.

A group of soldiers patrolling the streets come by the truck and Fi and Ellie are scared they will get caught but the soldiers don't notice the truck. Silently, Ellie tries to roll down a hill but the brakes don't work and the steering wheel locks itself and she nearly crashes into a fence. She turns the ignition back on and swerves away from the fence.
