Red blinking warning light beside clock in center of dash. What is it?

A red blinking warning light in the center of the dash to the right of the clock has appeared. It looks like a red car with a black key shape horizontally laid over it. What is this indicator and what does it mean. It only comes on when the engine is off.

This is the factory installed "Security" light. It blinks to let you know that the security system is active, and to ward off potential theives. It's part of the factory anti-theft system. Also, it is a diode, and consumes virtually no battery power.
Normal condition; nothing to worry about.

Flashing red circle light in the centre of the dash cluster. No mention of this light in the ford manual. What is it?

Hi:
The only red warning light that is in the center of the dash is either the brake warning light or possibly the low tire pressure light?

Here is a link to the manual online, and you can look thru the warning light descriptions and actually search this electronic document:
