4x4 question

[AAAAAAA]

Can you engage it and disengage it any time when rolling?
I will be getting an auto 4x4 and am use to my old pathfinder, I had to be stoped to engage it or turn it off, and had to reverse to completely dissengage it.

Is there a specific speed where you cant turn it on or off?

for 4lo you should be stopped, but 4hi you can be rolling at only a moderate speed. don't do it at 65

What Boston said. I do believe that you can engage 4-HI up to 62 mph or so, right?? Please check your owner's manual. Remember, once you engage 4-HI, you need to stay on a straight line...do NOT make turns unless the ground is slippery (snow, heavy rain, sand, etc.).

You should ALWAYS stop to engage 4-LO.

You can engage 4HI at 40 MPH or below. 4LO, as stated, you must be stopped and in Neutral.

Here is what the owner's manual says on speeds and switching gears with the auto:

"To shift from "H2" to H4 reduce your speed to less than 80km/h (50mph) and move the front drive control lever"

"To shift from "H4" to "H2" simply move the front drive control lever. This can be done at any vehicle speed"

"Shifting between "H4" and "L4". Stop the vehicle, put the transmission in "N" and move the front drive control lever.

It is slightly different for MT6's

H to HL - any speed
HL to H - any speed
HL to LL -

"stop the vehicle or reduce your speed to less than 8km/h (5mph)"

LL to HL - any speed
