... Just curious though, if the vehical is always in 4 hi-unlocked mode, whats the need for having a 4 hi-unlocked button?

The H2 has a 4 HI Unlocked button so that you can return to default driving mode from other settings. Example, I go through a mud pit in 4 HI Locked and then get ready to return to dry pavement; I select 4 HI Unlocked and I'm back on my way.

The torque split is 40/60 and the H2 is a 4 x 4, not AWD.

AWD as found on Jaguar X-types, Audi Quattros, and BMW X5s are driven by a single driveshaft. Torque is usually divided evenly among wheels, but newer AWD vehicles can electronically distribute torque to wheels having the most traction (via a computer system).
