I take it to mean that the 4 high --- is similar to the Subaru AWD whereas its 2 wheels turning, and others will help out when needed (during slipping)

No. The H3 is a full time four wheel drive system. In 4 High, you are getting an ~40/60% power split between the front and real wheels.

4 high locked ---- i take is similar to any 4wd truck, where you lock the hubs and all 4 wheels are turning all the time..for when roads are snowcovered..going less than say 40mph

"4 High Locked" locks the transfer case/center diff and delivers a 50/50% split between the front and rear. You'll can use this when you are on non-pavement surfaces with marginal traction quailites (deep snow, rocks, sand, mud, gravel) You only want this use this when there can be some surface slippage. You do not want to use this setting when on pavement.


4 low locked ---- I understand is for ultra offroad driving, going very slow

Same as above. Low gear, more torque.

Is this all true? are there any other featues that would help out in winter weather? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
