2009 CX-9 Temperature Gauge Reading

[tvhaugen]

Where should the temperature gauge on my 2009 CX-9 be reading? It seems to rest right in the middle...is this normal? Thanks!

Middle is where the needle should be when the engine is warmed up. This is normal for most
vehicles I know (in case you're curious - it is about 193F coolant temp).
It usually takes a few minutes to get to the middle from "cold". If it goes beyond middle,
you should have the dealer check it. It should not fluctuate either.
It should just climb to the middle and stay there.

Thanks for the helpful answer ceric! That is exactly what I was needing to know.
