So I've changed recalibrated my shocks back to 0 which is perfect, and changed my tire circumference as I'm running 315/70/17s tyres which all went well. I'm noticing now when I'm in "normal mode" when I click 4A the light illuminates but I'm still in 2H. But as soon as I switch mode to sport, it shifts and actually goes into 4A as I can tell when I speed and break suddenly , I can hear the down shifting... Then when I switch back to normal , it remains in 4A but it's driving in 2H... Is this normal or am I not meant to be driving in 4A in normal mode ?

What do you mean you can "feel" you are not in 4 wheel?

4A is not true 4wd. It will not engage under normal conditions, only when slipping. Go find some snow, sand or gravel and floor it, you should feel it engage.

Ohh, so I'm not meant to be feeling underbody engage like I would with sports mode and Baja mode ? Like when it's in sports , when I break I can hear it underneath down shifting.. I thought this is how 4WD felt even in normal mode ? Maybe it is activated and in normal mode it's quiet....

In sports mode it changes the gear shifts to a more sporty feel. It’ll downshift earlier and more aggressively, while up shifting later.

You shouldn’t feel anything engage when going from 2H to 4A. There’s a drivetrain screen in the centre display that shows exactly where the power is going - in 2H you’ll only see power going to the rear wheels. 4A you’ll see all 4 wheels getting power
