Forward Collision Warning/Active Emergency Braking System. Fault or User Error?

[Eponemuss]

Morning All!
10 days into my HS PHEV owning journey and generally I'm loving the car though still finding my way around the various MG Pilot features.
I can't figure out if I'm missing something or if my car has a fault with it's Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Active Emergency Braking (AEB).
I've not experienced it activating even when I've attempted to play 'chicken', leaving my braking to the last second to test if it's working.
Do 'we' know if it's a known issue on the HS PHEV in this forum? Your collective wisdom on the subject would be appreciated. TIA.

I have an MG4 EV, and the system definitely works. I've had it seven months. Yesterday for the first time, as I was negotiating a narrow road with parked cars and pulling out round one after a car had gone past the other way, it slammed the brakes on and started beeping dramatically. The car behind nearly went into the back of me. I have now added switching the Collision Detect to Alert rather than Alert and Brake to my routine of features I switch off when I get into the car because they don't work or behave unreliably (Speed Sign Detection, Lane Assist (Alert only)), as well as setting the car to Eco and Energy Saving mode.
