Sticking thermostat...or it could be a bad fan relay...or thermal switch...Or bubble in the block...Purge the cooling system of any air...and go from there...

Water Pump! Yes, take it in. The gauge *IS* your warning.
measure the engine core temp also.
On the climate control panel, push the 'recirculate' button and hold it, then with another finger, hit the 'Up' arrow button on the fan control.
display will read '1C'
Rotate the temp control **** till the display reads '51C'
then press the recic button again.Display will now read engine block temp in degress C.
It should stay at 90.
if it goes up, you have a big problem.
