The OP's car is from Pakistan, so it is probably different compared to what we have here in N. America. However, I do remember that Camry Hybrids have D and B, where D is for Drive and B is for engine braking. But I still dont really get why B is necessary when the OP's car already has S mode, which I assume is for standard tip-tronic manual gear shifting mode. Then you can simply use S to utilize engine braking...
Weird! A picture of your gearbox might help here.

B is like the low speed gear..
like the 1 or L in other automatic transmissions... I belive the CVT transmissions uses PRNDB like the Prius. |

Hi
B is the slowest gear used only for towing or uphills. its a cvt gearbox like myne |
