Well. the dealer can't do anything about this warning. That's what it is, in any case in 99.99% of the cases. But I am glad my car is old enough to not have this "feature".

There is a YT video from a German dealer

explaining the warning and the reasoning behind it. More important the dealer is claiming at the end there will be an update from Mazda in Q1 2022, extending the timer from 30 to 90 min.

Having gotten to see how much of the systems in today's cars overlap I thought that I would share some insight here. The short answer to just tweaking the software and changing the timer because a percentage of owners don't like something about it isn't as easy as one might think. Software corrections when proposed have to be tested to prove that they don't negatively impact the FTP ( federal testing procedure) Emissions levels that the car was certified for when it was first produced.

Situation in US in this respect may be different but my EU car (2019 production) doesn't have the warning and has same EU approval number as a recent 100Y Anniversary Edition.
