Due to the Saturn engine being mainly manufactured with Aluminum when the vehicle is sitting still and no air is passing over the engine the car tends get very hot. You can turn on the A/C for a few seconds and this will turn on the cars fan for a short time.
As long as the vehicle is moving you should have no trouble with the car overheating.
