blinking ignition security light

I just noticed that my ignition security light is always blinking when the keys are out. Is it supposed to?

+1 to what Swoope said.
There really is a ton of useful stuff in the owner's manual. If you don't have one, you can always register as an owner on www.mazdausa.com and it will allow you to download a PDF version.
