You have an indicator light in your dash cluster that will tell you when it reaches the low end of the "hot" limit. If it illuminates while driving, have your cooling system checked for the cause. It will illuminate when you first start the car as a check that it is working.

Plus on the temperature gauge you'll see a line about three quarters of the way up the gauge. If the illumination of the gauge goes above that line it's running too hot. Hope that helps! Jim
