i wanted to see this but its been removed... can you explain me what it does?
I think this has been overblown a bit on here. I have left ATC on and my brakes are fine after 30k+ miles so far.FYI - With it turned on - watch your read brake pads - they will wear out quicker
Same here. I paid for it and will continue to pay with slightly higher brake wear. I just like the feel of it. Plus, with how I drive it is not activated that often.Brake pads aren't that expensive, I leave my active Trace control on. The car steers better and I like the way it feels more settled coming out of the corner.
Did you drive your 2015 for an additional 25k+ miles on new rear pads in personal mode with ATC off the entire time to compare pad life?I prefer to have ATC off, I used to leave it on in my 2015 Q50 and it wore out the rear brakes in 26,000 miles from what I recall. It was shocking to me since my rear brakes typically last at least 50,000 miles. The front brakes by comparison lasted double the amount of time of the rears which was unusual to me.
Unfortunately, I didn't keep the car long enough nor did I drive it so much after so I didn't get to see how much longer the rear brakes would have lasted with the ATC disabled.Did you drive your 2015 for an additional 25k+ miles on new rear pads in personal mode with ATC off the entire time to compare pad life?
Thanks for following up. Unfortunately, this is often the case and is the reason why there isn't any data to support claims of excessive brake wear or how much extra brake wear can be attributed to ATC.Unfortunately, I didn't keep the car long enough nor did I drive it so much after so I didn't get to see how much longer the rear brakes would have lasted with the ATC disabled.
I think it depends on how the car is driven and how often the ATC is activated. I don't see how it cannot affect pad wear.Thanks for following up.

I agree that it will impact pad wear, but we constantly see statements that suggest ATC will eat up the pads very quickly. I'm trying to get people to look past these exaggerations as if they are fact because there hasn't been any data to support those claims.I think it depends on how the car is driven and how often the ATC is activated.
