Where is the 2018 Subaru Forester OBD port location?

I own a Jeep and my neighbor owns a Subaru. She’s having some issues so I offered to loan her my OBD reader. Where is the 2018 Subaru Forester OBD port location?

The 2018
Subaru Forester
OBD port location is beneath the dashboard on the left side of the driver’s footwell.
The OBD port location is pretty similar for most vehicles. In your neighbor’s Subaru Forester, it’s under the dashboard to the left of the pedals. It may be easier to find with a flashlight, crouching down.
As you probably know, some
car OBD codes
are more serious than others. If your neighbor encounters a serious code, please remind her to call her local Subaru dealership. It may be a covered issue due to a recall. The only way to find out is to use the VIN and look it up.
