I think what you are seeing is an airbag readiness light. Here is what the owners manual says about it:


Air bag readiness
Momentarily illuminates when the
ignition is turned to the RUN
position. If the light fails to
illuminate, continues to flash or
remains on, have the system
serviced immediately
Here is the link to download the owners manual for your car.

SOURCE: ford focus dash board light

that light is the engine warning light you should go and have your car checked over at a garage running very low on oil can cause some serious problems with your engine. you'll also have to go to a garage to get them to turn your light off.

SOURCE: 1997 ford exibition xlt my interior light and running board lights wont go off along wiith the door ajar light on dash board. please help

Take some WD40 and open the doors and spray a liberal amount into each of the door latches. Then open and close the doors firmly several times. This will work most of the time to unstick the ajar switches.

SOURCE: what does the orange engine light mean on ford focus 02 reg

It's a check engine light, have it checked right away. If you take it to a Ford dealer, they can give you a very detailed diagnosis, however they also charge about 80 bucks just to do that. If you take it to an auto parts store (AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, NAPA, etc.) they will often be able to check for free, but it won't be the most detailed solution.

I have 2013 ford escape, yesterday an icon came on the dash in speedometer area and cannot find it in the book, it was red and looked like A two curved lines then rectangular box with two lines

A red light usually means an issue you need to check as soon as you can. Can you possibly describe the light, or lights, in a bit more detail. Does your vehicle have the lane assist feature fitted?
Most symbols with 2 curved lines refer to the braking system. Is it one of the lights in the attached photo? Please comment below.

The 4th light on the left hand side is on and i dont know what this means, car did not come with the manual so i really need to find out what this means.

Forth light on left, counting from bottom is the seat belt light-should look like a stick person facing forward with belt across them. If it is the forth light on left, counting from top it is the front air bag light-looks like a stick person facing sideways with a solid circle/ball above their lap. My airbag light, in my 2002, stays on for months and then will go off for months, then comes back on again. Has been doing this since it was quite new.
