i'm looking for it when the ignition is switched on... I can't find it.
Are you asking because you want to make sure it is actually an AWD CX-5 and not a FWD?
The VIN implies AWD, the decal on the back implies it. and well... not that I don't trust used car salesmen... but... who know the extent of deception. ... or is a fuse blown or removed and a defective system would have the light illuminate.
Look underneath for the driveshaft going to the rear wheels. Plus there will be a rear differential too.

Your post made me realize what this thread was actually about...and you have the top answer lol
ok... Hardware is there... where is the light when I "turn on" the ignition? to bring confidence that would work?
I*m not sure why you*re so worried about it working. The system is calibrated quite nicely and it*s almost impossible to notice its engaged unless you*re flogging the crap out of it or on some really dicey terrain.
Correct.Your post made me realize what this thread was actually about...and you have the top answer lol
There is no light that comes on. If the light is on, that means there is a fault. You should never see the "4WD" light come on under normal working conditions.
Folks:
I just got bought a used 2016 CX-5 touring w AWD and touring tech package, but... I can't find the AWD light on the dash... it may not be going on, or I just can't find it... Any hints as to where it is?
Picture, maybe?
Thanks
Joe
