Yes, only the LE trim has the AUTO mode transfer case. You can drive up to 62 MPH in 4-HI. If you are driving between patches of snow covered road and the rest of the road is just wet, staying in 4-HI is fine. If you are driving on rough roads consisting of dirt and gravel, staying in 4-HI is fine. What you don't want to be doing is driving in 4-HI or 4-LO on dry surfaced roads.
In answer to this:
"I assumed not very good when turning and very good traction at all wheels. But maybe limited slip in rear has something to take care of this. And what about transfer case . Maybe wrong terms sorry
There is no mechanical LSD in the R51 differentials, front nor rear. Both are open carriers. The limited slip is electronic, using the ABS system to lock the brake on the free-spinning wheel, which puts the power to the wheel with traction.
