How to turn on AWD in Mazda CX-9?

I just got a 2021 Mazda CX-9. The dealership told me it had AWD. I should have asked, but I’m not seeing a button for the AWD. How do you turn on AWD in a Mazda CX-9?

Congratulations on the new wheels! The 2021
Mazda CX-9s
will come with either front-wheel drive (FWD) or Mazda’s i-ACTIV AWD, which will always be active, so there’s no need to figure out how to turn on AWD in your Mazda CX-9.
Mazda’s i-ACTIV AWD system is designed to help all four wheels respond to changing road conditions by predicting them before they happen, as opposed to reacting in a way that many traditional AWD systems do.
Hope this helps! As you continue learning the ins and outs of your new car, make sure it’s covered by the right car insurance policy. If you’re looking for a more efficient way to shop for car insurance,
