My Jeep has 2 thermo switches for the fan, 1 in the upper rad hose for low speed, one in the lower rad hose for high speed. Each switch kicks on at 210*, off at 207*. This leads to actual gauge temps of:
Low speed on: 214*
Low speed off: 211*
High speed on: 220*
High speed off: 217*
There is also a pressure switch in the A/C system to activate the fan on low speed when the A/C condenser isn't getting enough airflow to keep cool.
The fan on mine is the factory 16", 2 speed E-fan based off the Ford Taurus 3.8 fan and similar to the larger Lincoln Mark VIII 18" e-fan.
For yours, I'd say on at 210*, off at 205* would be a good starting point.
