There should be a lamp on the dashboard with something like 4 wheels and lines between them, when you turn on/off your AWD, this lamp should be on or off. Other systems show this kind of information on display. Anyway most of the cars are permanently AWD, FWD or RWD.

Is two wheel drive or four wheel drive better?
It's more a question of being different than better.Two wheel driveA two wheel drive car needs fewer moving parts, so it'll be lighter, less expensive and use less fuel. OTOH it'll have less traction, as it's only two wheels pushing.Four wheel driveA four wheel drive car needs more moving parts, so it'll be heavier, cost more, and use more fuel, OTOH with all wheels pushing it'll have better traction.Now, what's better will depend on how you plan to use it.If you're staying on decent roads, not carrying or towing anything, then 4WD will cost you a fair bit, w/o doing you much good.If you're regularly driving on dirt/gravel roads, maybe in the snow, maybe even off-road, then 4WD can be real helpful and possibly worth the extra cost.
How do you change a two wheel drive suburban into a four wheel drive?
first off i am not a professional but i do no you would have to get a front axel out of a 4x4 and also a transfercase and maybe the transmission it would be alot of work but if you can get the parts cheap enough it would be worth the time which it would take awhile to do it This is a BIG project, requiring significant skills. You need the axle, springs steering linkage, transmission, transfer case, both driveshafts. You need to make sure the gear ratio matches your existing rear axle, and in most cases it won't because of the different usages between a 4 wheel drive and a 2 wheel drive vehicle. You need the skills to mount the spring perches, replace the transmission, locate the mounting brackets for the transmission and transfer case, and set up and align the steering. This is critical, because it will affect how it drives down the road, so it affects safety. So, can it be done, YES, . .however, if you have to ask the question HOW, you need to refer it to professionals, and at that point, you are probably better off buying one that it already 4wheel drive, rather than trying to convert.
What is the difference between full time and part time 4 wheel drive on a jeep Cherokee?
Four Wheel Drive Modes Two-wheel drive (2Hi): In this position, the front axle spins freely while power is sent to the rear axle and wheels, which then drives the vehicle. Part-time four-wheel drive high-range (4 PART TIME): In this position, the centre differential mechanically locks the front and rear driveshafts together, which then rotate at the same speed for maximum traction (this position is designed for temporary use when extra traction is required; only use on slippery or loose surfaces). Full-time four-wheel drive high-range (4 FULL TIME): In this position, the centre differential splits the power, sending 48 percent to the front axle, and 52 percent to the rear. The transfer case may be left in this position on any road surface - including dry, paved roads.

Four wheel drive high is used for everyday purposes such as driving on a snow packed road or light off roading.

Use two wheel drive in this circumstance. You will completely ruin your transfer case by using four wheel drive on pavement.
