My newest vehicle is 14 years old, and that is also when I quit working on cars other than my own. I don't have any experience with anything newer but all cars I had ever known of required applying the brake while backing the vehicle to actuate the automatic adjusters.
There is a simple explano at:

It talks about the reverse braking type and the parking brake type of adjusters. I had never known of the parking brake type before reading your post.
