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.

What is the difference between four wheel drive and all wheel drive?
As it turns out, "all-wheel drive" refers to vehicles that have permanently engaged or automatically engaging four-wheel-drive capability. "Four-wheel drive" implies the vehicle has manually engaging, temporary four-wheel drive. Your confusion is justified -- the auto industry, in their infinite wisdom, created these seemingly interchangeable terms. The major difference is that most "true" four-wheel-drive vehicles also have a "transfer case" that can provide both a "high range" and a "low range" gear ratio from the engine to the wheels. High is used for slippery conditions on the road, while low is exclusively for off-road use.
