Just hold the PB button up until all hell brakes loose (literally) and do an electronic emergency stop.
Will cure any sticking pads for a while 
Make sure you've no one behind you or they WILL panic as the D3 stop very quickly when it does it itself. Also don't go too fast when your doing it.
Worked on mine by advice from someone

I've been in a RRsport Supercharged when it's been done at 130mph ....all of your internal organs try to make a sharp exit through your nose  21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

It is astounding...and it was confirmed that you can do the same at any speed in the D3. The Brembo brakes on the RRS SC though make it happen in a defining way  21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Try it tomorrow... but be warned. Your D3 will stop quicker than a very quick thing.
