The elevation was 120 feet, the free air temp was 92 degrees (closer to 100 at pavement level) and the terrain was flat. I was in a traffic jam, moving at about one mile per hour, for three hours and my temperature gauge indicated 251 degrees (flashing and underlined in red) four times. Each time this happened, I stopped, shut off the engine, and let the vehicle cool for thirty minutes. The history: 2001, purchased new April 25, 2004, has about 1700 miles, and has indicated 200 degrees at 70 miles per hour when the FAT is above 90 degrees. Is this normal for this model?
