On the AC/Heater head unit, hold the Up and Down Fan Buttons until a -00- appears. Then use the Up or Down button to change the number to -16. Hit the center Fan button. The AC/Heater display will now show the engine coolant temperature in Celsius. In my experience, with an aluminum radiator and 180 degree thermostat, it should stabilize somewhere around 90-95 degrees C.
