Coolant Temperature Gauge

Due to the pressurized cooling
system, the coolant only starts
boiling at a temperature of approx.
257° F (125° C) with an antifreezeblended
coolant fill protecting down to - 2 2 ° F
( - 3 0 ° C)

During severe operating conditions
and stop-and-go city traffic the
coolant temperature must rise to
red marking only.

yes, i see that in my owner's manual, and it is at least reassuring
