Three things you love or wish you had about your GX470
The "AC" is selected in the climate menu, and i don't have any warnings or lights indicating something is wrong. AC issues don't typically have any associated warning lights (I say typically because there's always some fancy and/or oddball car out there somebody will cite). Rather, there are...
