Hi, Until 2006, GV's are part time 4X4. So, You should only engage 4WD when there is less traction on the road. You can read the principles here ...

Sorry, Robert, but it's not true unless he had put a locker in the front diff. Usual GVs, as any part-time 4x4, maintain its front and rear diffs functioning...
