where is the block heater on my 2011 subaru forester? (Canada)

Do you have one? If you have a cord to plug the heater in then trace the cord. It could be in the block or in a radiator hose.
I heard it is standard equipment in Canada, and I did try the internet thing and my owners manual diagrams but cannot see it. thank you

Hmmm...thought it was a dealer-installed option everywhere....
@011 did not come with a block heater I had to pay to have it installed. Then I could not use it because the ECM kept reading engine temp abnormality on start up and would trigger the check engine light. They got a fix and flashed the computer, but every winter, at least once, the ECM reads it wrong and sets off the CEL, I reset it and am good to go for a another few weeks.
