...the 1.4LT Cruze engine has an "electronically controlled" thermostat that's regulated by the engine's ECM: raising temperature during constant, light-load, operation for better fuel economy; and, reducing coolant temperature during WOT, high-load, operation for "safer" operation under full turbo-spooling (higher 'effective' compression ratio).
