Temp Gauge?
I took the dealer car out for another test drive last weekend and was waiting for the car to warm-up a bit before really putting her to work. I looked around for the temperature gauge and couldn't find it. I cycled through the informational display and still no luck....

Am I blind?

Well Bugger me then!
I just looked again and there IS no temperature guage. It must be in the MFD.

Yes, it is a submenu under the "standard display menu" (US manual page 122)

Cycle through in-dash computer to odometer, then arrow up one to temp gauge.

No. That setting is only for the outside temperature. The engine temp remains Celsius.

F = 9/5 C +32
