Had an RX-7 a few years ago... upon application of the brake, a big red alert would illuminate the gauges, helpfully alerting me to the fact that I was braking. The first ten minutes of driving the thing were irritating, but I quickly learned to ignore bright red flashing alerts on the display.

Sometimes cars are (attempted to be) designed to be smarter than the driver, but it only detracts from the driving experience, the efficiency, and dulls the senses to actual, usable information.
