The handbook isn't very clear. My understanding is that the 4WD system is in automatic unless you have pressed the lock button. Even if you have pressed the lock button, the system goes to automatic above 20 MPH and then reverts to locked as you slow done. The system will still kick-in above 20MPH if wheel slippage occurs on the front axle. These bits are from a 2007 US promotion (NB not all models have TCS or ESC):
On demand electronic 4WD:
When sensors detect traction loss, a central controller engages a clutch pack in the coupling assembly to connect the rear wheels to the powertrain
• Engine torque is transferred to the rear wheels to improve traction and keep Sportage moving• The 4WD LOCK feature allows the driver to “lock” the coupling assembly into 4WD by depressing a switch on the instrument panel
Traction Control System:
As sensors detect traction loss, the central controller applies brake pressure to the slipping wheel and diverts additional power to the wheel with traction
• With the combination of Electronic Control On-demand 4WD and Traction Control,Sportage may need only one wheel to have sufficient traction to keep the vehicle moving
Electronic Stability control:
• ESC sensors monitor steering wheel angle, actual vehicle path, yaw and vehicle speed• The ESC controller instantly detects potential loss of control during understeer or oversteer situations• By adjusting throttle and applying select brakes, ESC helps the driver maintain control of the vehicle and keep it on its intended path
ESC also features the convenience of a driver ESC OFF switch to disengage the system when the vehicle is in conditions such as deep snow or mud.
