flashing red light on dash in ford focus

I've got a 2005 focus which has developed a flashing red circular light, situated between the indicator markers on the dashboard. Can anyone advise as to what this could be for please?

Thank you

RTFM

manual ??? ... im a woman ...
I don't know what it is, that's why I'm asking lol
It's too cold and snowy to go and have a look right now.
Thank you for your reply though, I will check tomorrow

Hazard lights?

The light flashes when the car is stood still and when I'm driving.

It's not the hazards, there's a small circle between the hazard markers ..

While stood still?

PS Dare I ask what is RTFM ?

Read the F******* manual.

That light is the PATS light (passive anti theft) The light flashes like most cars to tell you the system is active. As in you cars security system. That light tells you what the system is doing and flashes a certain number of times to tell you that there is a fault with the system. If the system is functioning normally the light will flash every 2 seconds when the ignition is switched off.

No, those I can understand ... behind the steering wheel, over the revs and speedo is << O >> the arrows are the indicators, the light im talking about is the circle in the middle.

Is that for 2005?
