SVT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
For information on the warning and indicator lights in the clusters, refer
to theFocus Owner’s Guide.
SVT AUXILIARY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
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. Stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible, switch off
the engine immediately and let the
engine cool. Refer toEngine oilin
theFocus Owner’s Guide.

This gauge indicates the
temperature of the engine oil, not
the oil level. If the oil pressure falls
below the normal range due to low
oil level, the engine oil pressure warning light in the main instrument
cluster will illuminate. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible and
switch off the engine immediately. Check the oil level and add oil if
needed. Refer toEngine oilin theFocus Owner’s Guide.
OIL PRESSURE GAUGE
This gauge indicates engine oil
pressure up to a recommended safe
maximum value. 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.
Driving with your oil pressure gauge pointer continuously at the top of
the scale may damage the engine.
If the engine oil pressure drops
below the normal range, the oil
pressure gauge pointer will drop to
the bottom of the gauge scale and
the engine oil pressure warning light in the main instrument cluster will
illuminate. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible and switch off the
engine immediately. Check the oil level and add oil if needed. Refer to
Engine oilin theFocus Owner’s Guide.
