1998 V8 4wd Switch

Hello,
I just purchased a 1998 Eddie Bauer with a V8. It has a switch on the dash near the radio with 2 settings: "normal high" and "off road."

I've looked at other v8 explorers without that switch. I assume it's still an awd system as there is no 2wd setting on the switch. Does anyone know why that switch is on some and not others?

thanks,
Paul

The AWD system is not selectable. You are probably looking at the suspension settings. You can change the height of the suspension in the EB.
