Around here in the "mountains" of the southern Ozarks it's
not likely to be locked up all that much - but I do want it functional .

My 2000 CRV has a transmission control feature I don't quite understand that gives good engine braking down steep hills. I suspect it might be downshift plus lockup. I haven't heard the loud ABS pump engage for it.
This describes a more modern off-road version; mine functions at 40-50MPH. https://www.hondainfocenter.com/Terms-and-Technologies/_content/Terms-and-Technologies/Hill-Descent-Control/
It may have been a Land Rover contribution from their brief joint venture, the boxy body design was entirely theirs, fortunately the electrical system isn't, Honda had been making the AWD SUV-like Civic wagon for over a decade.
Newer CRV models are more stylish and less practical so I'm looking elsewhere for an AWD replacement if/when mine breaks beyond repair.
