the button on the shifter engages rear drive through a fairly weak set of clutches. If they are worn you wont get much in the way of rear drive.
the 4WD auto switch engages 4x4 automatically when you turn the winscreen wipers on. crazy japs...

when you switch the wipers on ?? I use Rainex !!
one more question please.
does Subaru recommend auto in 4WD only in wet or dirt/slippery conditions
and will diffs bind like in a manual in 4WD or screw the auto ?

you can leave the auto on 24/7 if you like..but dont leave the shift button on all the time as this will mean it is in 4wd all the time..just the auto button is ok all the time..youll see it come on and off as it needs it...cheers
