They disengage in reverse mate - not sure if they stay off as such, but definitely disengage ... not something you want to happen on a soft 45 degree slope ...

I thought they stayed engaged in reverse until you drove forward again?

Is this not correct?

So what you's guy are saying is that with auto locking hubs (in auto mode) you only have 2wd in reverse?

not a 100% sure on how the nissan ones work but with the old mitsi ones they worked in centrificul fashion. engage 4wd drive forward and they would lock to disengage you select 2wd and revers for a bit hubs would disengage. down side was that in 4wd if you got in a tight situation and had to back up for a better line,,, the hubs would disengage leving you stuck and very embarrest esp if you could not drive forward farenough to reengage them LOL ergo i threw AVM hubson the old paj problem solved

They disengage on reverse ... it's the way you get them to disengage when you go back into 2wd and the hubs don't unlock - you roll backwards to get them to release.

Yes, but what happens when you go backwards with 4wd selected.

Do the auto hubs lock in, so you are in 4wd in reverse?

That make sense.

I can see where that could be a problem.

in 4wd they will lock if you go far enough in revers they normally unlock then relock in revers and vis versa. thats where i used to get in trouble with the old paj
