All the above advice is good and correct.
If your system hasn't been exercised regularly it may take awhile for it to shift in and out of 4wd and to lock the center diff. Use it frequently and it should shift quickly and smoothly. The "all wheel drive" function is one of my favorite things about my 4runners. It's nice to be able to just put it in AWD when the road starts to get a little dicey.
Don't drive around in 4wd with the center diff locked on dry pavement too much or you'll bind the system up. You'll be able to feel it if that's happening.
4Lo helps keep your transmission temps down too if you're crawling up steep hills at very low speeds off road.
