The A/C controls are not lighted.  I suppose the VW engineers figured
that, if it doesn't get hot enough to need A/C at night in Germany,
then it must not anywhere else, either.  (Or, more likely, they just
didn't care about anything outside of Germany.)


On the other hand, the cigarette lighter has a special lighted
green ring around it, distinguishing it from all the other controls.
Clearly they felt THIS was the most important thing on the dashboard.
