It may illuminate if you approach a static object without slowing, ie a car in front and should eventually activate the brakes if it suspects a collision is imminent.
Personally I have noticed on very sunny days my warning light appears and stays lit for a few minutes, then disappears.
I also believe that if the front of the car is quite dirty, especially at this time of year with road salt, this too can slightly confuse the sensors.
I'm sure that a few other members will chip in soon with more information.

Mine does the same thing, Harry/ Buffy, it just starts flashing as a regular occurrence, but only after I’ve done a few miles, e.g. 10-15 miles driving. It normally only lasts for a minute or two, then everything is back to normal.

The Owners Manual tells you about it, when the AEB kicks in, etc, but doesn’t tell you what it means when this system warning light flashes. The front of the car is perfectly clean and the radar isn’t blocked in any way.

I mentioned it to the dealer at the last service, and it was in for it again a couple of weeks ago, but as there are no codes stored they can’t pin point what is wrong with it. They did update some software, but it doesn’t seem to have worked as it’s started flashing again when I drove 25 miles last week.
