Service Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Light — If Equipped

This warning light will illuminate to

indicate a fault in the Forward Collision

Warning System. Contact an authorized

dealer for service

page

232.

Service Stop/Start System Warning Light —

If Equipped

This warning light will illuminate when the

Stop/Start system is not functioning

properly and service is required. Contact

an authorized dealer for service.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Warning Light

The warning light switches on and a

message is displayed to indicate that the

tire pressure is lower than the

recommended value and/or that slow

pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal

tire duration and fuel consumption may not be

guaranteed.
Should one or more tires be in the condition

mentioned above, the display will show the

indications corresponding to each tire.

Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should

be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the

inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle

manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire

inflation pressure label. If your vehicle has tires of

a different size than the size indicated on the

vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you

should determine the proper tire inflation pressure

for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been

equipped with a TPMS that illuminates a low tire

pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is

significantly underinflated. Accordingly, when the

low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should

stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and

inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a

significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to

overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation

also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and

may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping

ability.

Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for

proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s

responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,

even if underinflation has not reached the level to

trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure

telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS

malfunction indicator to indicate when the system

is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction

indicator is combined with the low tire pressure

telltale. When the system detects a malfunction,

the telltale will flash for approximately one minute

and then remain continuously illuminated. This

sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle

start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When

the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the

system may not be able to detect or signal low tire

pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may

occur for a variety of reasons, including the

installation of replacement or alternate tires or

wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from

functioning properly. Always check the TPMS

malfunction telltale after replacing one or more

tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the

replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow

the TPMS to continue to function properly.

CAUTION!

Do not continue driving with one or more flat

tires as handling may be compromised. Stop the

vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering. If a

tire puncture occurs, repair immediately using

the dedicated tire repair kit and contact an

authorized dealer as soon as possible.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (OBD II)

Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated

onboard diagnostic system called OBD II. This

system monitors the performance of the

emissions, engine, and automatic transmission

control systems. When these systems are

operating properly, your vehicle will provide

excellent performance and fuel economy, as well

as engine emissions well within current

government regulations.
If any of these systems require service, the OBD II

system will turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light

(MIL). It will also store diagnostic codes and other

information to assist your service technician in

making repairs. Although your vehicle will usually

be drivable and not need towing, see an authorized

dealer for service as soon as possible.

NBOARD

IAGNOSTIC

YSTEM

(OBD II) C

YBERSECURITY

Your vehicle is required to have an OBD II and a

connection port to allow access to information

related to the performance of your emissions

controls. Authorized service technicians may need

to access this information to assist with the

diagnosis and service of your vehicle and

emissions system

page

133.

EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND

MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS

In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to

pass an inspection of your vehicle's emissions

control system. Failure to pass could prevent

vehicle registration.

For states that require an Inspection and

Maintenance (I/M), this check verifies

the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is

functioning and is not on when the

engine is running, and that the OBD II system is

ready for testing.
Normally, the OBD II system will be ready. The

OBD II system may not be ready if your vehicle was

recently serviced, recently had a depleted battery

or a battery replacement. If the OBD II system

should be determined not ready for the I/M test,

your vehicle may fail the test.

CAUTION!



Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause

further damage to the emission control

system. It could also affect fuel economy and

driveability. The vehicle must be serviced

before any emissions tests can be performed.



If the MIL is flashing, while the engine is

running, severe catalytic converter damage

and power loss will soon occur. Immediate

service is required.

WARNING!



ONLY an authorized service technician should

connect equipment to the OBD II connection

port in order to read the VIN, diagnose, or

service your vehicle.



If unauthorized equipment is connected to the

OBD II connection port, such as a

driver-behavior tracking device, it may:



Be possible that vehicle systems,

including safety related systems, could be

impaired or a loss of vehicle control could

occur that may result in an accident

involving serious injury or death.



Access, or allow others to access, infor

mation stored in your vehicle systems,

including personal information.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

Your vehicle has a simple ignition actuated test,

which you can use prior to going to the test station.

To check if your vehicle's OBD II system is ready,

you must do the following:
1. Cycle the ignition switch to the ON position,

but do not crank or start the engine.

NOTE:

If you crank or start the engine, you will have to

start this test over.
2. As soon as you cycle the ignition switch to the

ON position, you will see the Malfunction

Indicator Light (MIL) symbol come on as part of

a normal bulb check.

3. Approximately 15 seconds later, one of two

things will happen:



The MIL will flash for about 10 seconds and

then return to being fully illuminated until

you turn OFF the ignition or start the engine.

This means that your vehicle's OBD II

system is not ready and you should not

proceed to the I/M station.



The MIL will not flash at all and will remain

fully illuminated until you place the ignition

in the off position or start the engine. This

means that your vehicle's OBD II system is

ready and you can proceed to the I/M

station.

If your OBD II system is not ready, you should see

an authorized dealer or repair facility. If your

vehicle was recently serviced or had a battery

failure or replacement, you may need to do nothing

more than drive your vehicle as you normally would

in order for your OBD II system to update. A

recheck with the above test routine may then

indicate that the system is now ready.
Regardless of whether your vehicle's OBD II system

is ready or not, if the MIL is illuminated during

normal vehicle operation you should have your

vehicle serviced before going to the I/M station.

The I/M station can fail your vehicle because the

MIL is on with the engine running.

PERATION

To ensure reliable starting under extreme cold

conditions an externally powered electric block

heater (if equipped) is required for the 1.3L Turbo

engine below -20°F (-29°C).

To prevent possible engine damage while starting

at low temperatures, this vehicle will inhibit engine

cranking when the ambient temperature is less

than -20°F (-29°C) for the 1.3L Turbo engine, and

the oil temperature sensor reading indicates an

engine block heater has not been used. The

message “plug in engine heater” will be displayed

in the instrument cluster when the ambient

temperature is below -4°F (-20°C) at the time the

engine is shut off as a reminder to avoid possible

crank delays at the next cold start.

This vehicle is equipped with an after-run pump to

cool the turbocharger after the engine is shut off.

Depending on the type of driving and the amount

of cargo, the pump will run for up to 10

minutes

after the engine has been shut off to circulate

coolant through the turbocharger. Although the

pump is rubber-mounted for quiet operation, it is

normal to hear it running during this time.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS

A long break-in period is not required for the engine

and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in your

vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300

miles

(500

km). After the initial 60

miles (100

km),

speeds up to 50 or 55

mph (80 or 90

km/h) are

desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within

the limits of local traffic laws contributes to a good

break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low

gear can be detrimental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory

is a high-quality energy conserving type lubricant.

Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated

climate conditions under which vehicle operations

will occur. For the recommended viscosity and

quality grades

page

345.

NOTE:

A new engine may consume some oil during its first

few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This

should be considered a normal part of the break-in

and not interpreted as a problem.

ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE (EPB)

Your vehicle is equipped with an EPB that offers

simple operation, and some additional features

that make the parking brake more convenient and

useful.
The parking brake is primarily intended to prevent

the vehicle from rolling while parked. Before

leaving the vehicle, make sure that the parking

brake is applied. Also, be certain to leave the

transmission in PARK.
The EPB switch is located in the center console.
You can engage the EPB in two ways:



Manually, by applying the parking brake switch.



Automatically, by enabling the Auto Park Brake

feature in the customer programmable features

section of the Uconnect settings or in “Safe

Hold” conditions.

CAUTION!

Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral

Oil in the engine or damage may result.

STARTING AND OPERATING

Electric Park Brake Switch

To apply the EPB manually, pull up on the switch

momentarily. You may hear a sound from the back

of the vehicle while the EPB engages. Once the

parking brake is fully engaged, the Brake Warning

Light in the instrument cluster and an indicator on

the switch will illuminate. If your foot is on the

brake pedal while you apply the EPB, you may

notice a small amount of brake pedal movement.

The EPB can be applied even when the ignition is

in the OFF position however, it can only be released

when the ignition is in the RUN position.
NOTE:

The EPB fault lamp will illuminate if the EPB switch

is held for longer than 60 seconds in either the

released or applied position. The light will extin

guish upon releasing the switch.
If the Auto Park Brake feature is enabled, the EPB

will automatically engage whenever the

transmission is moved into PARK when the ignition

switch is in the STOP/OFF position. If your foot is on

the brake pedal, you may notice a small amount of

brake pedal movement while the EPB is engaging.
The EPB will be automatically released if the

driver's seat belt is buckled (only in case of

automatic transmission) and driver's intention to

start (in forward or reverse direction) is recognized

by the system.
To release the EPB manually, the ignition must be

in the RUN position. Put your foot on the brake

pedal, then push the EPB switch down

momentarily. You may hear a sound from the back

of the car while the parking brake disengages. You

may also notice a small amount of movement in

the brake pedal. Once the EPB is fully disengaged,

the Brake Warning Light in the instrument cluster

and the LED indicator on the switch will extinguish.
NOTE:

When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the

front wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade

and away from the curb on an uphill grade. Apply

the EPB before placing the gear selector in PARK,

otherwise the load on the transmission locking

mechanism may make it difficult to move the gear

selector out of PARK. The EPB should always be

applied whenever the driver is not in the vehicle.

WARNING!



When exiting the vehicle, always remove the

key fob from the vehicle and lock your vehicle.



Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with

access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing chil

dren to be in a vehicle unattended is

dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or

others could be seriously or fatally injured.

Children should be warned not to touch the

parking brake, brake pedal or the transmis

sion gear selector.



Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle

(or in a location accessible to children), and do

not leave the ignition in the ON or RUN posi

tion. A child could operate power windows,

other controls, or move the vehicle.



Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged

before driving; failure to do so can lead to

brake failure and a collision.



Always fully apply the parking brake when

leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and cause

damage or injury. Also be certain to leave the

transmission in PARK. Failure to do so may

allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage or

injury.

STARTING AND OPERATING

If exceptional circumstances should make it

necessary to engage the EPB while the vehicle is in

motion, maintain upward pressure on the EPB

switch for as long as engagement is desired. The

Brake Warning Light could illuminate in case the

hydraulic system is not available. The rear stop

lamps will also be illuminated automatically while

the vehicle remains in motion.
To disengage the EPB while the vehicle is in

motion, release the switch. If the vehicle is brought

to a complete stop using the EPB, when the vehicle

reaches approximately 1.9

mph (3

km/h) the EPB

will remain engaged.

In the unlikely event of a malfunction of the EPB

system, a yellow EPB fault lamp will illuminate. This

may be accompanied by the Brake Warning Light

flashing. In this status, some EPB functionalities

may be deactivated. In this event, urgent service of

the EPB system is required. Do not rely on the EPB

to hold the vehicle stationary.

UTO

ARK

RAKE

The EPB can be programmed to be applied

automatically whenever the vehicle speed is below

1.9

mph (3

km/h) and the automatic transmission

is placed in PARK whenever the ignition is in the

OFF position. Auto Park Brake is enabled and

disabled by customer selection through the

Customer Programmable Features section of the

Uconnect Settings.
Any single Auto Park Brake application can be

bypassed by pushing the EPB switch to the release

position while the transmission is placed in PARK

and the ignition is in the RUN position. In some

cases, if the ignition is cycled from ON/RUN to OFF

and the gear selector is not firmly locked in the

PARK position, EPB applies automatically even if

Auto Park Brake has been previously disabled.

OLD

SafeHold is a safety feature of the EPB system that

will engage the parking brake automatically if the

vehicle is left unsecured while the ignition is in the

RUN position.

The EPB will automatically engage if all of the

following conditions are met:



Vehicle speed is below 1.9

mph (3

km/h).



There is no attempt to press the brake pedal or

accelerator pedal.



The seat belt is unbuckled.



vated.

9-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

NOTE:

You must press and hold the brake pedal while

shifting out of PARK.
The transmission gear range (PRND) is displayed

beside the gear selector and in the instrument

cluster display. To select a gear range, push the

lock button on the gear selector and move the

selector rearward or forward. You must also press

the brake pedal to shift the transmission out of

PARK, or to shift from NEUTRAL into DRIVE or

REVERSE when the vehicle is stopped or moving at

low speeds

page

90. Select the DRIVE range for

normal driving.
The electronically-controlled transmission adapts

its shift schedule based on driver inputs, along

with environmental and road conditions. The

transmission electronics are self-calibrating;

therefore, the first few shifts on a new vehicle may

be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition,

and precision shifts will develop within a few

hundred miles (kilometers).

WARNING!

You can be badly injured working on or around a

motor vehicle. Do only that service work for

which you have the knowledge and the right

equipment. If you have any doubt about your

ability to perform a service job, take your vehicle

to a competent mechanic.

WARNING!



It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or

NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than

idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing

the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate

quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose

control of the vehicle and hit someone or

something. Only shift into gear when the

engine is idling normally and your foot is firmly

pressing the brake pedal.



Unintended movement of a vehicle could

injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all

vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while

the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle,

always come to a complete stop, then apply

the parking brake, shift the transmission into

PARK, and turn the ignition OFF. When the

ignition is in the OFF position, the transmis

sion is locked in PARK, securing the vehicle

against unwanted movement.



When leaving the vehicle, always make sure

the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the

key fob from the vehicle, and lock the vehicle.

STARTING AND OPERATING

EAR

ELECTOR

The transmission gear selector has PARK,

REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, and AutoStick (+/-)

shift positions. Manual shifts can be made using

the AutoStick shift control. Toggling the gear

selector forward (-) or rearward (+) while in the

AutoStick position (beside the DRIVE position) will

manually select the transmission gear, and will

display the current gear in the instrument cluster

as 1, 2, 3, etc.
NOTE:

If the gear selector cannot be moved to the PARK,

REVERSE, or NEUTRAL position (when pushed

forward) it is probably in the AutoStick (+/-)

position (beside the DRIVE position). In AutoStick

mode, the transmission gear (1, 2, 3, etc.) is

displayed in the instrument cluster. Move the gear

selector to the right (into the DRIVE [D] position) for

access to PARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL.

Gear Selector Lock Button

This transmission has been developed to meet the

needs of the manufacturer’s current and future

lineup of FWD/AWD vehicles. Software and

calibration is refined to optimize the customer’s

driving experience and fuel economy. By design,

some vehicle and drive-line combinations utilize

NINTH gear only in very specific driving situations

and conditions.
Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE when

the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is

stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on the brake

pedal when shifting between these gears.
DO NOT press the accelerator pedal when shifting

from PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range.



Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with

access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing chil

dren to be in a vehicle unattended is

dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or

others could be seriously or fatally injured.

Children should be warned not to touch the

parking brake, brake pedal or the transmis

sion gear selector.



Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle

(or in a location accessible to children), and do

not leave the ignition in the ON or RUN posi

tion. A child could operate power windows,

other controls, or move the vehicle.

CAUTION!



Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only after

the vehicle has come to a complete stop.



Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE,

NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is above

idle speed.



Before shifting into any gear, make sure your

foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.

ANGES

PARK (P)
This range supplements the Electric Park Brake

(EPB) by locking the transmission. The engine can

be started in this range. Never attempt to use

PARK while the vehicle is in motion.
When parking on a hill, apply the EPB before

shifting the transmission to PARK, otherwise the

load on the transmission locking mechanism may

make it difficult to move the gear selector out of

PARK. As an added precaution, turn the front

wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and

away from the curb on an uphill grade.
When exiting the vehicle, always:



Apply the parking brake.



Shift the transmission into PARK.



Turn the ignition OFF.



Remove the key fob from the vehicle.

CAUTION!

After selecting any gear range, wait a moment to

allow the selected gear to engage before

accelerating. This is especially important when

the engine is cold.

WARNING!



Never use the PARK position as a substitute

for the parking brake. Always apply the

parking brake fully when exiting the vehicle to

guard against vehicle movement and possible

injury or damage.



Your vehicle could move and injure you and

others if it is not in PARK. Check by trying to

move the transmission gear selector out of

PARK with the brake pedal released. Make

sure the transmission is in PARK before

exiting the vehicle.



The transmission may not engage PARK if the

vehicle is moving. Always bring the vehicle to a

complete stop before shifting to PARK, and

verify that the transmission gear position indi

cator solidly indicates PARK (P) without

blinking. Ensure that the vehicle is completely

stopped, and the PARK position is properly

indicated, before exiting the vehicle.



It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or

NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than

idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing

the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate

quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose

control of the vehicle and hit someone or

something. Only shift into gear when the

engine is idling normally (or stopped) and your

foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.



Unintended movement of a vehicle could

injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all

vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while

the engine is running or the propulsion system

is active. Before exiting a vehicle, always come

to a complete stop, then apply the parking

brake, shift the transmission into PARK, and

turn the ignition OFF. When the ignition is in

the OFF position, the transmission is locked in

PARK, securing the vehicle against unwanted

movement.



When leaving the vehicle, always make sure

the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the

key fob from the vehicle, and lock the vehicle.

WARNING!

STARTING AND OPERATING

The following indicators should be used to ensure

that you have properly engaged the transmission

into the PARK position:



When shifting into PARK, press the lock button

on the gear selector, and firmly move the gear

selector all the way forward until it stops and is

fully seated.



Look at the transmission gear position display

and verify that it indicates the PARK position (P),

and is not blinking.



With the brake pedal released, verify that the

gear selector will not move out of PARK.

REVERSE (R)
This range is for moving the vehicle backward.

Shift into REVERSE only after the vehicle has come

to a complete stop.
NEUTRAL (N)
Use this range when the vehicle is standing for

prolonged periods with the engine running. The

engine may be started in this range. Apply the

Electric Park Brake and shift the transmission into

PARK if you must exit the vehicle.

DRIVE (D)
This range should be used for most city and

highway driving. It provides the smoothest upshifts

and downshifts, and the best fuel economy. The

transmission automatically upshifts through all

forward gears.
When frequent transmission shifting occurs (such

as when operating the vehicle under heavy loading

conditions, in hilly terrain, traveling into strong

head winds or while towing a heavy trailer), use the

AutoStick shift control to select a lower gear. Under



Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with

access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing chil

dren to be in a vehicle unattended is

dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or

others could be seriously or fatally injured.

Children should be warned not to touch the

parking brake, brake pedal or the transmis

sion gear selector.



Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle

(or in a location accessible to children), and do

not leave the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

A child could operate power windows, other

controls, or move the vehicle.

CAUTION!



Before moving the transmission gear selector

out of PARK, you must turn the ignition to the

ON/RUN position, and also press the brake

pedal. Otherwise, damage to the gear selector

could result.



DO NOT race the engine when shifting from

PARK or NEUTRAL into another gear range, as

this can damage the drivetrain.

WARNING!

Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the

ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe

practices that limit your response to changing

traffic or road conditions. You might lose control

of the vehicle and have a collision.

CAUTION!

Towing the vehicle, coasting, or driving for any

other reason with the transmission in NEUTRAL

can cause severe transmission damage.

STARTING AND OPERATING

these conditions, using a lower gear will improve

performance and extend transmission life by

reducing excessive shifting and heat buildup.
If the transmission temperature exceeds normal

operating limits, the transmission controller may

modify the transmission shift schedule, reduce

engine torque, and/or expand the range of torque

converter clutch engagement. This is done to

prevent transmission damage due to overheating.
If the transmission becomes extremely hot, the

Transmission Temperature Warning Light may

illuminate and the transmission may operate

differently until the transmission cools down.
During cold temperatures, transmission operation

may be modified depending on engine and

transmission temperature as well as vehicle

speed. This feature improves warm up time of the

engine and transmission to achieve maximum

efficiency. Engagement of the torque converter

clutch, and shifts into EIGHTH or NINTH gear, are

inhibited until the transmission fluid is warm.

Normal operation will resume once the

transmission temperature has risen to a suitable

level.
AutoStick
AutoStick is a driver-interactive transmission

feature providing manual shift control, giving you

more control of the vehicle. AutoStick allows you to

maximize engine braking, eliminate undesirable

upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall

vehicle performance. This system can also provide

you with more control during passing, city driving,

cold slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer

towing and many other situations.
Operation
When the gear selector is in the AutoStick position

(beside the DRIVE position), it can be moved

forward and rearward. This allows the driver to

manually select the transmission gear being used.

Moving the gear selector forward (-) triggers a

downshift, and rearward (+) an upshift. The current

gear is displayed in the instrument cluster.
NOTE:

In AutoStick mode, the transmission will only shift

up or down when the driver moves the gear

selector rearward (+) or forward (-), except as

described below:



The transmission will automatically upshift

when necessary to prevent engine overspeed.



The transmission will automatically downshift

as the vehicle slows (to prevent engine lugging)

and will display the current gear.



The transmission will automatically downshift to

FIRST or SECOND gear (depending on model)

when coming to a stop. After a stop, the driver

should manually upshift (+) the transmission as

the vehicle is accelerated.



You can start out (from a stop) in FIRST or

SECOND gear. Starting out in SECOND gear can

be helpful in snow or icy conditions. Tap the gear

selector forward or rearward to select the

desired gear after the vehicle is brought to a

stop.



If a requested downshift would cause the

engine to overspeed, that shift will not occur.



The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too

low of a vehicle speed.



Avoid using Cruise Control when AutoStick is

engaged because the transmission will not shift

automatically.



Transmission shifting will be more noticeable

when AutoStick is enabled.



The system may revert to automatic shift mode

if a fault or overheat condition is detected.

To disengage AutoStick mode, return the gear

selector to the DRIVE position. You can shift in or

out of the AutoStick position at any time without

taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.

WARNING!

Do not downshift for additional engine braking

on a slippery surface. The drive wheels could

lose their grip and the vehicle could skid,

causing a collision or personal injury.
