when installing a new thermostat, which way does the arrow face?

my bentley manual is about 10 miles from me and i have no way to get it.

i am assuming facing up, but since its a vw...... it may go sideways lol.

The side with the exposed springs points up.

i know which way it goes, lol, but there is an arrow that can be rotated 360 degrees around, i am assuming facing UP,

I wouldn't think it would matter. I've never seen a t-stat that was directional around ie 0 degrees or 90...t-stats are always the same all the way around.
