So my wife sez... "READ THE MANUAL!"
I did, and I still can't seem to find a visual on engine temperature. Is there one at all? I was hoping so. I'd prefer to see a problem creeping up on me than a sudden red light flashing a problem already in full swing.

its a light or warning symbol when things go wrong
if so you stop the car as soon as its safe then lift the bonnet

No temp gauge? That's weird. I really wish all cars came with an actual temp gauge where the real temperature is marked. As well as oil pressure and volts. As much as I hated my '01 Monte Carlo SS, it had all the gauges so I could keep an eye on everything, but with that car I really had too!
Could you post a pic of instrument cluster? Or post a link? I'm curious...

Its a 2013 LE. So far we haven't located anything about an actual gage in the manual. It does show an area at the bottom right of the instrument cluster where a light will come on if there's an overheating problem, but not an actual visible gage.
I'll go out after daybreak and take a photo.

D'Oh!! Couldn't find it in the manual, but..................
Left on the instrument cluster where the Transmission mode indicator and the Mileage indicator are there's a very small non-illuminated window with a C, H and a series of dots in between. A small vertical bar moves from C to H as the engine warms. Lyn and I have been looking at that dash cluster for better than a week and only this morning did we discover it. The whole affair can't be more than 1/4 by 3/4 of an inch in size.
I reiterate........... D'Oh!.
BTW.... It's -36 here this morning.
sheesh...................
