Your wording is hard to understand what your asking, so the car does not overheat now? The halfway mark on the gauge is ok. if it does not go any higher.
Sorry lol it's not over heating the temp Gage is still in the middle and above after only driving for not even an hour
Once you stop the engine the temperature gauge will climb some. Its when your driving that the gauge stays in the normal range.
This same thing happened to me when driving in the cold. It's an electronics issue. Your engine is fine. Replacing a thermostat will have no effect. Take it to the dealer, but unless it is malfunctioning when you take it, you will waste your money. I just turn the car off put in neutral, coast for half a minute, and then restart the car, pull over, and put it into drive.
