sounds if the differential fluid
temperature exceeds 150°C

high speeds can cause the
differential fluid temperature to be
higher than normal. If this message

driving conditions, the vehicle may
need service. See your dealer for an
inspection.

Keyless Locking
If the vehicle has the keyless
access system, this feature allows
you to select whether the doors
automatically lock during normal
vehicle exit. When the ignition is
turned off and all doors become
closed, the vehicle will determine
how many keyless access
transmitters remain in the vehicle
interior. If at least one keyless
access transmitter has been
removed from the interior of the
vehicle, the doors will lock after
several seconds.
For example, if there are two
keyless access transmitters in the
vehicle and one is removed, the
other will be locked in. The keyless
access transmitter locked in the
vehicle can still be used to start the
vehicle or unlock the doors,
if needed. A person approaching the
outside of the locked vehicle withoutan authorized keyless access
transmitter, however, will not be able
to open the door, even with a
transmitter in the vehicle. See the
