Being a more modern ford, it has a fail safe cooling system. Where when the engine management detects an over heating issue. It illuminates a warning light. Engages limp mode and will only let you drive for a limited time. Then the engine will shut Down to save a failure.
Much more important for this type of car is inlet charge air temp because there is no fail safe for increased inlet temp . I.e charge cooler pump failure. Which can cause detonation .
