I think the point being made is that even a (temporary) 215 temperature is nothing to worry about, or a reason to turn the a/c off. The factory overheat warning light didn’t come on until 240-245 in these cars, and the Pontiac engineers didn’t consider anything under 260-265 as engine damaging temps.
