Maybe there was a change from previous years :H

Per 2016 Forester Owners Manual...Towing 4 down

1. Release the parking brake and put the transmission in the “N”/neutral position.
2. The ignition switch should be in the “ON” position while the vehicle is being towed.
3. Take up slack in the towline slowly to prevent damage to the vehicle
