    There is a smaller lever next to the parking/emergency brake lever on my LR.
    Don’t know what it’s for, so I don’t want to pull it till I know for sure.
    I’m sure someone can enlighten me.

    Thanks again!

    Looks like the Heater On-Off Lever.

    Steve, When you pull the lever up (with the engine running) do you feel any air coming out of the vents? 

    You do need heater boxes for the heat to work….and they need to be hooked up with the large hoses to the vents just forward of the boxes alongside the transaxle.  ….or, you may have “J-TUBES”
    installed = no heat with your current rig.

    If you pull that lever you go to “Ludicrous Speed!”

    It makes a wibbly-wobbly sound and turns the car back into a 1971 VW Bug.stephenhouser2015-11-01 20:55:12

    Thinking that’s the same VW heating mine uses, exactly like that. Vent tubes exit from under seat fronts, outer sides. I was pleasantly surprised how it can help on cooler days once the engine is nice and hot. With top down the wind really stirs it up while moving along and loses that “heat” feeling but I like that it’s there if I want it.

    Well, at least the first and last response were accurate. Thumbs Up

    Yes Steve, that is the lever that opens and closes the valves on the two heater boxes.

    In an original VW, there is a twin on the other side of the emergency brake lever that directed teh warm air to the defrosters.

    I thought those were to start the pour on the optional beer kegs. When lever is pulled the beer flows out of the eagle hood ornaments mouth.
    Darn I was saving up for those!

    I did not install the Eagle! That must be why mine blows hot air, but no beer!

    The eagle drinks half the beer so that means more beer for you!!!
