That's where I'm scratching my head too. If you're cruising along at 40
MPH, the thing *is* smart enough to say "yes, I see you flipped the
switch to 4LO. What are you, nuts? I'll take care of that later, when
you've slowed down." How do you "have trouble" flipping the switch -
one would think that if she's observant enough to know when the truck is
or isn't in 4WD and knowledgeable enough to know what it means, she'll
be able to handle the 4LO concept.
And if you're in 4LO, the engine's going to be SCREAMING if you're on
the road...that right there should be a huge red flag to even the most
careless person. Not to mention all the driveline binding on turns.
