If you don't have a Bentley, this'll be difficult for you to 
diagnose by yourself. So being it, you may wish to check
the temp sensor that sends its signal to the ECU. Not sure
on your engine, but it's often located on the head, on MC
engines its on the head near the coolant flange (the one on
the flange does something else) on other I-5 engines, reportedly
its on the back of the head. Without an accurate temp signal, 
the ECU cannot properly control the warm up. My 200Q is 
experiencing this right now. The problem for me is no time to
determine if it's the sensor or the wiring to the sensor. Later
this week.
