yup it's the TPMS sensors going off. Did you put aftermarket wheels on?

TPMS.

Visit Mazdausa.com, Under "Owners" click "MyMazda." Register, and add your car, then select downloads on the left side of the screen, and choose "Owners Manual." Spend the evening reading.

TPMS light ...

Does it come on immediately when you start your car and there is a beeping sound? Tire pressure is really low!

Does it start flashing after about 10 minutes of driving? Check pressure, but maybe it's just a sensor issue, or you have aftermarket wheels like FABRO said.

We call it the "butt" warning. It looks sorta like a rear-end...and if your tires go flat, your *** could wreck!

You get used to the blinking light. I just check my tire pressure once a month.
