There are several red dome lights on the '01 Cougar. The most common one to be on at this time of the year is the ice warning light. This light will be red when it is at or below 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit), and between 1 and 4.5 Celsius, the light will turn orange. The second most common red light on the dome is the service interval light. This goes off every 4k miles and must be turned off from the dash computer as described in the instruction manual. There are probably other red lights, but these are the only two I have run into.
