Personally I'd never go over 50mph in 4wd it really depends on the vehicle. My old pathfinder wasn't supposed to go over 35 in 4h.

According to the user's manual you must be going 55mph or slower to switch into 4H, so I would assume 55mph would be the fastest you should go. Not sure why you would be going even that fast and need 4wd unless you hit and unexpected patch of snowy weather or something, but I would suggest slowing down once in that situation.
