I haven't had too much experience owning this car during the summer, and we do not have very high summer temps here either (mostly up to 25c) so maybe it is never warm enough to kick in at higher speeds. The fan usually kicks in when the needle just passes the LED (RPM counter style). I can of course remove the light to check out the resistor or the spare wheel to check out the fan motor.
