I'm not sure what to say. Just describe the scenario and see what their take is. It seems that Nissan is most concerned at the moment with people hitting 260+F while sitting in traffic intermixed with just a few spirited revs up the RPM range (eg getting on the highway then sitting in traffic). You'll have a harder 'sell' if you tell them you were driving around like a wild man and made the car overheat...this starts to fall under the tracking category.

I can tell you that the day I had the most temp problems it was about 78F outside. I had intermixed times where I could rev to 5k in 2nd and maybe third but then would come to a slow crawl again for 15-20 min. After an hour trying to get across the city like this, I was at 245F and could easily have made it go higher if I didn't stop revving beyond 3k with gear changes.
