It goes from hiking to scrambling when you are using your hands to pull on holds.
Let's ask wikipedia what it has to say about the YDS:
Class 1
Walking with a low chance of injury, hiking boots a good idea.
Class 2
Simple scrambling, with the possibility of occasional use of the hands. Little potential danger is encountered. Hiking Boots highly recommended.
Class 3
Scrambling with increased exposure. Handholds are necessary. A rope should be available for learning climbers, or if you just choose to use one that day, but is usually not required. Falls could easily be fatal.
Class 4
Simple climbing, with exposure. A rope is often used. Natural protection can be easily found. Falls may well be fatal.
Class 5
Is considered technical roped free (without hanging on the rope, pulling on, or stepping on anchors) climbing; belaying, and other protection hardware is used for safety. Un-roped falls can result in severe injury or death. Class 5 has a range of sub-classes, ranging from 5.0 to 5.15d,[6], to define progressively more difficult free moves.
To make it even more confusing most people wouldn't consider class 2 scrambling. Class 3 and 4 is what most call scrambling.
