Well I just found out today that I had a heater...
After I had come back from the snow with wet Vans on for 3 hours
There is a red lever and a black lever next to the handbrake, the right one (red) turns on the heat, but what does the left one (black) do? I would open and close it and didn't feel a difference with the heat. I hear a little noise but that's about it. |

the left one is heat for rear footwells.

| Alright, thanks, I guess they are broken then, the rear ones are always on, I think it's because I forced them open before. Oh well. |

| The rears require that the red front lever be open. It is really just a diverter valve, sending some of the air to the rear rather than all to the front. So if you clsoe the red front, there is no air to divert, hence no heat. Lift the rear seat bottom and fine the broken or disconnected cable. |
