One other data point. This morning, I got stuck idling/crawling in traffic behind an accident. Outside temp was about 75F. While I was sitting, the temp spiked up beyond that second hash mark; the needle was going through the 2 on 250. It took about ten minutes before this occurred, but it when it did happen, it wasn't gradual, it happened over a couple of minutes in a couple of leaps. I've never seen it that high. The moment I started moving again, even slowly, the needle came back down to the new normal.

Should I be concerned?
Totally out of the subject, and I apologize in advance... But how can you get 3 lines in the OBC display? I can get only 2... Maybe because I have a 2003?

Mine shows 3 lines. There's options to scroll through each line.

Yes, I can scroll between the different menus, but I have only 2 lines available:
total mileage + the chose menu. That would be sweet to add that 3rd display
