What does the Ford Fiesta engine temperature warning light mean?

I recently purchased a used Ford Fiesta and noticed the engine temperature warning light has been turning on sporadically. What does this light mean and what should I do?

The engine temperature warning light indicates that your engine is running hot. This could be caused by a variety of factors such as a malfunctioning cooling system or low coolant levels. It's important to pull over and let your engine cool down before continuing to drive.

It's always a good idea to check your coolant levels and make sure they are at the appropriate level. If they are low, top off with the recommended coolant. If the light continues to come on, it's best to take your car to a mechanic for further inspection.

I experienced a similar issue with my Ford Fiesta and it turned out to be a faulty thermostat. It's best to get your car checked out by a mechanic to diagnose the issue and prevent any further damage to your engine.
