It comes with a block heater; but I never found where I install it unfortunately... (I am sure the dealer would help; it's just that the last winter, and so far, this one, have been rather mild.) My understanding is that it's a standard item on the Canadian market but an option in the US at least for the 9-3. And yes, it's a heater that you plug ina regular AC outlet and that keeps the engine block warm. So that starting the engine in very cold weather is not too taxing on the battery and the car warms up quicker. Standard item around here.
