Question about 4WD

Postby 1pc0nf1g » Sat Aug 18, 2018 9:04 am

Hi everyone,

I bought my 2010 Pathfinder SE about a year ago and was wondering, if you put the vehicle in 4WD is there a safety feature that changes it back to 2WD once a certain speed is hit? Or is it locked in 4WD? Anyone know of an article that goes over this?

If you put it in 4x4, it stays in 4x4. If you had an LE, then it would have the AUTO mode transfer case; in AUTO, it can operate in 2WD and apply power to the front wheels proportionately as needed. SE's have the manual transfer case.
