What is the light between the water temperature gauge and the fuel gauge on the Focus?

Ford Focus water temperature gauge and fuel gauge in the middle of the light is the information prompt alarm box, water temperature gauge is to display the coolant temperature, so that the owner can understand the condition of the car. When the car water temperature is too high, the owner needs to stop and rest, waiting for the vehicle water temperature to drop to normal temperature before continuing to drive. The Ford Focus is a Class A family car. The new-generation Focus 2020 is equipped with two engines, 1.5L EcoBoost and 1.5L Ti-VCT, and all models meet the China VI emission standard. The chassis of the new-generation Focus has been finely tuned to racing standards, equipped with a lightweight suspension system, SLA long and short arm blade independent rear suspension with an independent sub-frame, EBD electronic brake force distribution system, and EPAS electronic power-assisted steering system.
I usually enjoy studying Ford cars, and the middle light commonly seen in the Focus is either the engine fault light or the oil pressure warning light. The engine fault light looks like a yellow engine icon, and when it lights up, it indicates potential issues with the emission system, sensors, or similar components. If it's a red oil can icon, it's much more serious—you should stop the car immediately and check the oil level, as insufficient oil can cause engine seizure. I suggest you pay attention to the vehicle's self-check status the next time you start it; these lights should turn off after a normal startup. It's best to keep the owner's manual handy, as the position of indicator lights may vary across different model years, and the manual contains detailed diagrams of the light symbols. Occasionally flashing might indicate a sporadic fault, but if it stays lit continuously, you should head to a 4S shop to read the fault codes right away.
