Anything special about servicing the brakes on a 2020–2025 Ford Escape?

Electronic parking brake on all trims, put the rear calipers in service/maintenance mode (via the touchscreen/cluster menu or a scan tool) before pushing pistons back for rear pads. Hybrids use regenerative braking; pads often last 60k+ mi but can rust from disuse in salty climates..
