I just  bought an '88 vanagon and have spent the last couple days getting
used to  it.

I am a little confused as to how the heater controls on the dash  work. it is
4 sliding knobs. I have put them in farious configurations, but  don't really
understand how it works. Can anyone help me out on this? I  hope to get an
owners manual fairly soon and I think that may clear things  up. I am going
on a trip in about a week and may not have the owners manual  by then. If
anyone can explain how it works that would be  great.

Bart,
The top lever is for the windshield defroster vents.  Left  closed.  Right
open
The second lever is the temperature controller.  Left cold.  Right hot
The third lever is for the interior vents.  Left is open.   Right is closed.
The fourth lever is for fresh air in the rear of the van coming out of the
vents above the sliding door and opposite side if it's a passenger van.
