Check the shift linkage to see if it is loose , and has gotten out of adjustment . Unhook both the high /reverse linkage and the low linkage . See if you can shift it out of gear with a pair of pliers . Then see if you can get it in high and reverse . If you can then adjust the linkage .
Four Wheel Drive: When engaged, the power is applied to all four wheels. Low: Some four wheel drive systems have a high and low setting. at Low setting speed is compromised for higher torque and vice versa.
No. No no no
Four wheel drive high is used for everyday purposes such as driving on a snow packed road or light off roading. Four wheel drive low is for special circumstances such as getting out of deep mud and snow or towing a trailer up a steep hill. Four wheel drive should never be used on bare, dry pavement. Use two wheel drive in this circumstance. You will completely ruin your transfer case by using four wheel drive on pavement.
A problem with your four wheel drive system has been detected. Have the vehicle scanned for any trouble codes.

Check your shift linkage as one linkage is for low . another for high and reverse .
2002 jeep liberty limited four wheel drive is stuck in 4 low how do I get it unstuck?
The benefit of driving 4 wheel drive cars is that you have the option to engage or disengage the four wheel drive when you need to. Four wheel drive is great on low traction surfaces (off road, snow, etc.).
Look at your center console. its it on the upper left hand side near the steering wheel. Turn knob to the right to "4 Wheel Low".
My 1995 Ford Explorer XLT has the Control-Trac 4X4 system . It has settings for 2 wheel drive , automatic 4 wheel drive , and a low range 4 wheel drive ( because it has a 2 speed transfer case ) The low range four wheel drive has power going to all 4 wheels equally and is only used where the tires have " give " such as gravel or off road because the speed is limited to slower speeds ( I think mine is limited to 35 MPH in 4X4 LOW )
( No ) not as long as the surface has " give " such as gravel / grass / snow / dirt etcetera . Of course your speed is quite limited in four wheel drive LOW The last time I used four wheel drive LOW was to drive out of a snow filled ditch beside a highway
