Subaru question

I just sold my Jeep Wrangler (it rode like a buckboard) and bought a 2010 Subaru Forester 5 speed stick shift.
I was wondering if anybody else tows 4 down.
Do I just put it out of gear
and what about the steering wheel lock.
Do I have to pull any fuses?
is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

My wife has a little Impreza. Great little car however all Subi's are AWD which is different than 4WD. I was under the impression that you can't or shouldn't tow them or even put them on a dolly. I am not an authority by any means though!

Taken directly from here: Subaru FAQs | Find Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

AWD Subaru vehicles with automatic transmission can only be towed with all four wheels OFF of the ground.
AWD Subaru vehicles with manual transmission can be towed with all four wheels on the ground and the transmission in neutral. When towing a manual transmission Subaru behind your motor home, you would put the transmission in neutral and have the key turned to the first position from "OFF". As all new models are equipped with digital odometers, mileage should not accumulate when being towed.
