Yes, that's what the manual section that I quoted says - brake or hit 25 mph (40 km/h) and it reverts to normal operation, which means driving the rear wheels just as much as it determines is required.

Or rather, reverts to front-priority all wheel drive.

This makes sense to me, as it ensures that all wheels are driving from the start, rather than risking the front tires spinning a bit before the system recognizes that and engages the clutch to drive the rears as well.
