Low speed on coolant fan

At what temp is the low speed suppose tokick on? I just replaced my thermostat and gasket and did a coolant flush. While trying to burp the system I noticed the fan didnt come on until the car reached 220. Some people say as soon as you start it and some say not until it reaches 195?

Per the Bentley manual, and confirmed by my ScanGauge, the fan operates at low speed at 221F, and turns off at 214F. The fan switches to high speed at 234F and remains on high until the coolant temps drops by 7F. Supposedly it also turns on when the AC is on and the AC system pressure reaches 8 bar (114psi)

Sounds like yours is working fine.
