In older gypsy's you had to get out and do some manual thing with the hubs. Newer gypsy's do away with this nonsense.
Actually, the system of older gypsies is better as they give you a choice.

The manual thing you are referring to is "locking" the free wheeling hubs and thereby "engaging" the front axle only when required for 4x4 mode.

Due to the lack of free-wheeling hubs in the newer gypsies, the front axle is working full time, whether they are being used for 4x4 or not. My Jeep has free-wheeling hubs too.
