Under what condition will the 2025 QX55's Active Trace Control apply brake pressure?

The 2025 QX55's Active Trace Control is designed to enhance the vehicle's handling and stability during turns. It achieves this by applying brake pressure selectively to individual wheels, which helps to optimize traction and control while cornering. This feature is especially beneficial in maintaining a balanced and responsive driving experience, allowing the driver to navigate turns smoothly and with confidence.

When the vehicle is cornering, Active Trace Control detects the dynamics of the turn and applies the appropriate brake pressure to help keep the vehicle on its intended path. This not only improves cornering performance but also contributes to overall safety by reducing the likelihood of understeer or oversteer.

In contrast, during acceleration, heavy braking, or when driving uphill, the system is not specifically engaged for the same purpose, as those conditions don't prioritize the same level of steering control and stability that cornering does. Thus, cornering is the critical scenario in which Active Trace Control actively utilizes braking to enhance the vehicle's performance and driver experience.
