2006 sebring heating up

 
the 2006 sebring touring I have heats up to 2 notches before the half mark.  When I am idling in traffic for awhile, it will go to the half way mark. 
the electric fan kicks in but only moves it back 2 notches.  Is it normal for the car to heat up to that mark when I am in normal drive??  Last vehicle only went to the quarter mark.

yep normal   the half way mark is around 220   to which the fans come on  ne where from 218 to 224 depends on what computer program is on your car.
