If your sticking only to sealed roads and not taking taking it into 4wd areas then it should be no different then any other day out but if you think you want to try out the car in 4wd and do some tracks I would highly recommend taking another vehicle with you and recovery gear and advise people where you are going.
If your serious about getting into 4wding I suggest doing a basic 4wd course to understand gear selections, terrains and using the 4wd safely and correctly. Even just a day course will bring you up to speed a lot!
