English term or phrase: shift-on-the-fly

Definition from autoevolution:
Most part-time four-wheel drive systems in the past required their drivers to stop the vehicle and manually lock the front hubs in order to engage the all-wheel drive mode. Modern systems now have automatic front hubs locking, which translates into the ability to "shift-on-the-fly" from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive mode.

Example sentence(s):

Technical specifications include a supercharged 1.6L, inline-four engine (160 hp and 155 lb-ft of torque) and a four-speed automatic transmission coupled with a shift-on-the-fly transfer case with full-time four-wheel drive and low-range modes. 4Wheel & off-road
To the left of the pod are three switches, one for electronic control of the four wheel drive shift on the fly system, the other two are for cruise control and the fogs. The Auto Channel
Of course, the key feature for the Suzuki XL-7 4WD beast is its shift-on-the-fly four-wheel drive which will power you through just about anything you throw at it. new-cars.com
