It's the collision avoidance braking when parking in close quarters.
It applies the brakes automatically when you are within about 6 inches of an obstacle and moving towards it. Often false-fires when parallel parking in tight quarters or reversing with a bike rack attached.
This is a different, ultrasound-based system that had been on cars for about a decade now. It has limited range.
Not to be confused with the newer autonomous emergency braking systems that are radar-based(believe mm-wave radar) that has range more appropriate for road and highway speeds but has the limitation of not being able to differentiate stationary objects from terrain.
