When to put a pathfinder in 4WD mode?
In short, you do NOT want to put the vehicle in “4WD” unless you are completely stuck or encountering a severe situation.

What is lock mode on a Nissan Pathfinder?
In “Lock” mode, there is no center adjusted bias. The torque between the front and rear axles is equal. This mode is more like a true four wheel drive, however since there is no low range setting I wouldn’t call it that completely. You should only use this mode off of pavement or in situations where the wheels are on low traction surfaces.
