Default blue temperature light lights up on display

Every time I start up my XB a blue temperature lights up. Is this telling me to change my radiator fluid or is that telling me to recharge the a/c?

The blue temp light goes off once the water temp is at operating temps. Its just letting you know the water temp is cool. You just don't want to see the red on e all of the time.

The 'blue' light tells you to take it easy on the throttle.

Default ...Blue Light Special...

The blue light is on until operating tempature is reached. When it goes off, you can turn on the heater and get heat.
The red water temp indicator light might come on if you stop at a store for a moment, coolant is not flowing so it gets hot in the engine. Once coolant starts flowing again, the red light goes out.
These are good idiot lights. Who needs gauges?

This really is explained in the owner's Manual.

It really is findable via a search at ScionLife.

It really isn't necessary to have yet another thread asking why a blue light comes on when the engine is cold...
