2021 FL How do I put the rear brakes in service mode?

As the title says, I have a 2021 C43 which just ticked over 17k miles and now needs rear brakes. Does anyone know what button combo will put the rear brakes in service mode to retract the parking brake? Thanks

I wrote this up for my indy last time I had my brakes done. Has the exact steps to follow. Just one note. Depending on whether you have the Driver Assist package or not the button to the left of the touchpad is different. Either way it's the left button you have to press and hold.
