How do you turn on 4-wheel drive on a Mazda CX-5?

I picked out one of the Mazda CX-5 cars that has all-wheel drive, but I can’t tell when it’s on. How do you turn on 4-wheel drive on a Mazda CX-5?

All-wheel drive is a great feature to have for added control, but how it works can be confusing since it varies from car to car. Generally, if your
Mazda
CX-5 is equipped with all-wheel drive, there’s no button you need to press to activate it—it’ll respond to driving conditions as needed.
In optimal driving conditions, the Mazda CX-5 might only send power to the front wheels to save fuel.
When its sensors detect that more control is needed, it will respond by sending power to all four wheels.
Hope this helps! If you’re looking for a more efficient way to find
