So when the dog clutch teeth engage internally they're already synchronized in speed before they engage. The same is true for the front axle disconnect.
The 4Lo - that one you need to be stopped for. And in neutral. I'm sure the electronics won't let you engage at speed. That would cause a catastrophic failure. But there's no way Toyota would setup the electronics to allow that to happen if you just moved the dial to the wrong spot.

A little confused when u said axle disconnect. I know on the ford broncos one had to get out and rotate to lock.
The front axle disconnect is that an additional step BESIDES the rotational knob or the 4wd system and electronics take care of this.
