check around in behind front licence plate; might be strapped in if never used.
Standard equipment on most trucks sold in Canada. Not really necessary for starting, but if it is snowing or freezing rain in the morning, it gives you defrost in a much shorter time than having to wait for a full warm up from cold.
It only needs to be plugged in for an hour or two, so a timer in the garage is a good idea...use mine most mornings Dec.-Feb. It comes on at 6am and by 7:30 is ready to go.
