Anytime the temp goes up about 8 to 10 degrees I flip the a/c on(cold out or not) to drop it back down until I am moving again. I think it stupid GM does not put in something to make it do that on its own besides after it goes to 230, cavalier(when I last had one) was basically overheating one day(I did not notice until I had parked) and than the stupid fan kicked on, pretty dumb in my opinion, none of my other cars let themselves get hotter and hotter.
If you ar seeing 230 before your fans kick on get to a dealer because youve got a problem, I can leave my car idling in the shop for HOURS and the coolant will never hit 230.
