The controls to the right of the key lock are for heating and ventilation. The upper levers with the blue arrows control air flow, the left one with the blue arrow pointing up to the defroster vents by the windshield, the right one with the blue arrow pointing down to the floor vents. The round knob in the middle controls the speed of the fan. The grille above the blue levers and round knob brings in outside air, whose volume is adjusted by the lever just above the grille when the A/C is not running. When the A/C is running, some vacuum operated baffles move and block off the outside air and the grille outputs chilled air from the A/C. The air is moved by a different blower than when the A/C is off. The round knob with the green arrow just above the left end of the radio is the temperature control. > I am not particularly familiar with /8s, but I thought they came with > either the Evil Chrysler ACC, or vertical-slider manual controls like a > W123 240D. No, they did not.
