Warning Lamps And Indicators; Oil Temperature Gauge; Fuel Gauge; Turbocharger Boost Gauge - Ford Focus Owner's Manual

If the needle enters the red section, the
engine is overheating. Stop the engine,
switch the ignition off and determine the
cause once the engine has cooled down.
See Engine Coolant Check (page 213).

Oil temperature gauge

Indicates the temperature of the engine
oil.
At normal operating temperature, the
needle remains within the normal area.
If it enters the red section, the engine is
overheating. Reduce engine speed as soon
as safely possible to allow the engine to
cool. If the engine is continued to be driven
at high engine speeds with the needle in
the red section, the engine speed will be
reduced automatically to prevent engine
damage.

Turbocharger boost gauge

Indicates the added intake pressure
provided by the turbocharger.

Oil pressure gauge

WARNING
Driving with your oil pressure gauge
pointer continuously in the red
section of the scale may damage the
engine.
Note: When the engine is cold, oil pressure
close to 5 bar may be indicated. This is
normal. As the engine warms up, the oil
pressure will drop.
This gauge indicates engine oil pressure
up to a recommended safe maximum of
5 bar.
During normal driving the indicated oil
pressure will vary with engine speed, the
pressure rising as engine speed rises and
dropping as engine speed drops.

engine immediately. Check the oil level and
add oil if needed. See Engine Oil Check
