I don't see how this could possibly be an issue.

1. Manufactures have been using these for decades.
2. Basically all of the cooling is done via the radiator.
3. The hybrid engine is very efficient and reaching and maintaining operating temperature is impactful for gas mileage in this system, especially during cold weather.
