Look on the VIN plate on the bulkhead under the bonnet...
You're looking for code 7EX, that's shift on the fly.
Search for VIN codes, or option codes on this forum too

You can shift from 4 hi to 2 hi while moving up to about 30mph ish no matter what hubs you have but to unlock auto hubs you need to reverse at some point you only need to stop to change from 4hi to 4 low. I have manual hubs and leave them locked in winter so i can shift between 4 and 2 hi as needed without stopping.
