Default 4WD w/Nav Question

I wanted to check with other 4WD FEH owners to see if the Hybrid flow screen shows power going to the back wheels when using 4WD. I know the 4WD kicks in when needed but I've never seen it and the one time I know I was using all 4 wheels (in the sand) I forgot to look at the screen.
Thanks for your help and I hope your enjoying yours as much as I'm enjoying mine!

I have a 2WD but know friends with the AWD.

There are never any energy flow arrows going to the rear.

While your FEH is different, the display panel is all the same.
Sorry!

No difference in the Nav power display for 2wd or 4wd. The torque transfer is invisible to the driver.

Any information expressed here is my personal opinion.

Yep, just the front wheels. I watched, and had passengers watch after a bad storm to be sure.

Thanks everyone!
It just seems weird to me that there are no indicator lights or anything telling you when your using 4WD. I remember the old 4WD's that my dad taught me to engage once a month to keep them lubed up. I'm assuming that I'm just old and that was a long time ago? Zero maintance cool!
