Does anyone else get this warning every time they do a short journey

If I do a short journey and then lock the car, every time I get back in, it displays this auto braking warning?

Its going back to MG next week for a number of faults to be fixed so hopefully they can do this one too

I might be wrong believe that's the fault warning that just happens to sit next to the auto brake symbol - isn't necessarily an auto brake fault.

What does the car say the fault is?
 
Pretty sure I read somewhere else on the forum that the auto hold fault appears when the screens haven’t booted in the right order, or when the infotainment screen is blank, although Macadoodle also reported that his brakes were dry as a bone and once correctly lubricated, fixed the issue. May be the case that there are 2 problems
 
The fact that the brake symbol is yellow tells me that there's a brake system fault, most probably an auto-hold fault. The warning triangle is probably because the system flashed up an auto-hold fault message.

I have had an amber brake warning on 2 separate occasions now.
And on both, it followed when the infotainment screen was black. On both, I stopped the car and restarted it again and it corrected itself.
But if it does happen again I will contact the dealer because it should not be doing that.
