  The Big Four Gotcha's of first time Vanagon ownership:
    1)  the front w/w fluid tank is under your left foot while driving (under the
carpet)
    2)  the rear tank is along the back right side with the hatch opened
    3)  the normal battery location is under the passenger seat (on a westy,
rotate the seat backward, then
        slide the seat all the way to the front)
    4)  the OXY light reset is in the spare tire area on the drivers side in a
black box about 3 inches square
        connected to the speedo cable. It is only a reminder light.  Nothing is
wrong.
    4a)   (special for 1st time VW owners) The intermittant wiper position (if
equipped) is all the way
            down. 1 notch up is off.  (P.S., you can add this if not equipped by
getting the relay and
            removing the position block from the switch)
