Wait until it rains and the pavement is slick. Select AUTO and floor it from a standing start. If you don't get wheelspin, hop or torque steer from the front, then your AWD is working. Where I live, in the winter you can test your AWD any time you like on snow, ice, slush or muck. Lucky us, eh?
I have seldom had occasion to use LOCK. You'd have to venture into some steep, loose-surfaced or rough terrain to see if it's working, and it won't feel any different from AUTO. It just won't shift into FWD unless you speed up. The operation in AUTO is so slick and seamless you won't notice a marked difference.
