Default LZ Focus Manual — Message 'needs service'

My Focus has done just over 7,500 km.

Early this afternoon I saw a message on it saying something like, 'Engine malfunction, needs service now'. This was in orange.

I was not far from home, so I returned. I left the vehicle for a couple of hours. I restarted it in neutral. The message had gone. I let it idle for a while.

But the message has not reappeared. The temperature seems normal, at just below 90 degrees. I checked the oil, and the level seems OK.

I will try to book it in on Monday.

Is it safe to drive for short distances in the meantime, do you think? What could be the problem? Static electricity? A failing sensor?
