If the pavement is dry I use 2H , that has power going to the rear wheels only and gives the best gas mileage
If the pavement is wet I use A4WD ( automatic 4 wheel drive ) that way if the back wheels loose traction some of the power is transferred to the front wheels

Check owner's manual. If you don't have one copy and paste link below; www.fleet.ford.com/maintenance/owners_manuals ---------------------------------------------------------------CONTROL TRAC-AUTOMATIC FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) Your 4x4 features a heavy-duty Control Trac system, includes a computer-operated transfer case. Coupled with a center-disconnected front axle, this unique system is interactive with the road, continually monitoring and adjusting torque delivery to the front and rear wheels to optimize vehicle control. Positions of the Control Trac system The Control Trac A4WD system functions in four modes: ² 2H position delivers power only to the rear axle. ² A4WD position delivers power to the rear axle, and the front axle when road conditions dictate the need for increased traction. ² 4H position provides mechanically locked four-wheel drive power delivery to front and rear axles. ² 4L position provides mechanically locked four-wheel drive when above average power at reduced speeds is required.

When using 4WD, maintain steering wheel control at all times, especially in rough terrain. Since sudden changes in terrain can result in abrupt steering motion, always grip the steering wheel from the outside. Do not grip the spokes. Drive cautiously to avoid vehicle damage from road debris such as rocks or stumps. Be sure to map out your route before driving in any off road area. For more information on driving off-road and proper operation of your 4WD vehicle, refer the Four Wheeling supplement in your Owner's Portfolio. Driving 122

How should you switch from 2hi to a4wd?
Move the drive shift to Neutral then move the 4x4 shifter into 4W High or 4W low. Afterwards move the drive shift to drive. This is the best way; it reduces torque on the transfer case, therefore extending its life.
There is an option on your 99 Lincoln Navigator to drive on A4WD 4H and 4L you are not sure which one you should drive on the streets with or what they even mean you just bought the car?
For normal street driving, use A4WD. That's all wheel drive which allows some slip in the differentials which is what you want. It kicks in when you need it. 4H is 4-wheel drive high range, and if you use it on paved roads in dry conditions you are putting a lot of stress on your drive train and you will notice that it's hard to steer and can be a bit jumpy around corners. Use this only on dirt roads or snow. 4L is 4-wheel drive low range. This is the same as 4H but has a lower gear ratio. It means you will get way more power but have a much lower top speed. This is generally used for hill climbing when you need more power or descents where you need the engine/gears to keep you at a slower speed because the brakes just lock up and you slide. Use A4WD for the road -- it will kick in 4wd when you need it and leave it off the rest of the time.
