Amazing!  Who'd a thunk that a VW van would ever even have a heater, let
alone levers and lights to control said heater.  My first one had a knob on
the floor that did nothing....I used a smashed beer can in the flap under
the  back....that turned on the heater all those many years....if the temp
was above about 35f...otherwise?  nothin.

  Thanks for showing that, AB.   I've always just done mine (vanagon heat
controls) 'by feel'......I can feel when the rear vent slide is to the
left, it is drafty on my neck....  I go out with the others slapped all to
the right, then once I get moving, slip the third one down all the way
left...and turn off the blower.  Then I end up with the middle two in the
middle and the others all the way left...most of the time....
   Gee, actually seeing the colors and the tapered graphics, back lit.....I
might get a little more fancy with my adjustments....
