Re:
Normal street driving just leave it in D like any other automatic car. 1 and 2 helps with engine braking on steep hill inclines. AUTO mode can be used in wet weather to reduce front wheel slippage, LOCK mode is only required for off-roading and even then it is best to leave it in AUTO mode, as LOCK mode will disengage at speed above 30kms/hour.
If you car didn't come with the owners manual which explains all this, you can download it online, as it will help you understand the features of your car a bit better.

Re: Use of Auto gears in 4wd
Hello Jason,
Sorry to come in a bit late on this but using 1 and 2 are very beneficial in off-roading in your T30.
Since LOCK mode automatically disengages above 40kph then using 1 for LOCK mode is recommended to keep speed down making sure you stay in LOCK mode.
Selecting 1 also helps on steep inclines in AUTO mode to make sure the transmission does not change up a gear if you lift off the accelerator, so that way you keep torque when you need it and for steep declines so that engine braking can help the brakes and aid in preventing overheating.
For most general off-roading when things are bumpy and the speed is down I usually stay in 2 for inclines or on the beach where lifting off the accelerator and having the transmission change would spell disaster with the engine dying in revs too much and then getting stuck.
