Dumbass question

OK, heres the thing,

I am new to the whole 4 wheel drive thing and have yet to take my luverly motor off the tarmac. When i do, what do I do with the little selector lever thingy? My concern at present is that it is in the H position and not in nuetral, however the 4wd button is not depressed. Am I correct in assuming that this means I am currently in 2wd untill the button is depressed when it will select 4wd and when I want low ratio I move the lever forward through neutral. Should I be doing this whilst the auto box is in neutral or park or can it be in gear. Also when I put the 4wd lever into neutral whilst the 'box is in P, I get a red dash warning AT/P appear, but not at any other time. What does this mean? (All Terrain in Park perhaps) Also when the 4wd selector is in neutral I have no drive at all. I am guessing that this is correct but someone will have to tell me why this function is there.

Ta muchly in advance for any help.

from what i have learnt dont use 4wd on tarmac ( no central diff ) so you will ultimately damage it unless in a straight line i know as i bound up my own box and it took me 20 mins of driving forward and back to free it up and release 4wd i leave mine in h ratio 2wd unless i need more grip very rare unless the local golfcorse has annoyed me again, if yopu need the grunt off the line ( towing ) use h4wd button on fly to get you going then switch it off again (just remember to keep wheels straight )

hope this helps also do a search on 4wd in the forum there are other details
