You can lock out a higher gear if it is shifting up and down. I don't have manual, but I hear it is a nice feature.

You can use the manual selection on slippery surface like snow or ice to reduce wheel spin, just put it in second gear it reduce the torque to the rear but then you can always use 4WD in the snow......
