How do I turn on all-wheel drive in a Subaru Forester?

I have a Subaru Forester as a rental car for the week. I’m planning to do a little hiking and would love access to the all-wheel drive system. How do I turn on all-wheel drive in a Subaru Forester?

The Subaru Forester is actually always in all-wheel drive.
The Subaru Forester is permanently locked into all-wheel drive. That means all four wheels have power every time you’re in the car. There’s no need (or ability) to turn it on or off.
All-wheel drive is a safety feature that gives the driver better control, especially on rough or unique terrain.
