to switch from normal 4-hi-open to 4-lo you put the tranny in neutral and then hit the button. wait a second, you'll hear a light clank, and you're set. from there you can lock the rear differential (though locked isn't always best for traction).
in any t-case setting (lo, high open, high locked) you can engage TC2 which is helpful in mud. that's the top button under the t-case settings (under the lo/high buttons)
i don't know anything about SERVICE 4WD, probably i'd take it to a dealer if such a warning appeared

That's funny that this topic came up. Although I am having no problems with mine, I was reading through the manual last night and was somewhat confused about when and where to use the different settings. My prior vehicle was an 03 BMW X5, so I never had to do anything with the AWD. Thanks for the help.
