The temp gauge needle should normally run somewhere near the center of the
gauge, i.e. close to the LED. Some folks will swear the needle should be
right in the center of the LED or just below it but there's nothing to back
up these claims. What's important is that the gauge indicate a relatively
stable temperature and not fluctuate wildly or stay at either extreme. The
temperature will creep up in certain situations such as stop and go traffic
and climbing long hills. When this happens, the radiator fan should come on
until the temp drops back to normal.
