Default Electronic Disconnect and 4WD HI???

Here is a newbie JK question:

I am used to running with a TJ Rubi, that I have now traded up for my JK Rubi, and although I have yet to head out to the trails to play with it I am wondering this:

I know if I'm in 4-LO I can hit my sway bar disconnect button and this will do what in the past was done by getting out, pulling a pin, using a bungee cord etc...

But what if I'm in 4-HI as I am most often am, and still want to disconnect my sway bar for more travel?? What are my options with the electronic disconnect??

This I can answer as a yes! That's one of the most mentioned features of the JKs - no longer have to get out!

I'll have to defer on this one as I don't have my Rubicon yet, but it's getting close (check signature!).

The sway bar can be disconnected in both 4 high and 4 low.

Mind you, once vehicle speed exceeds 18mph, the Rubicon will attemtp to relock the sway bar. Once vehicle speed drops below 14mph, the vehicle will try to disconnect the sway bar again.
