True, but CVT itself will also make the car jerk during traffic crawl due to the sudden diameter increase and decrease of the moving cones.

The DBW delay I guess just make the jerk worst.

IMO, not really caused by those 2 factor.

CVT should give smooth ride regardless accelerate or decelerate.

I think the throttle is too sensitive which cause the jerky.

My manual in low speed also very jerky, let say in 1st or 2nd gear, have to adjust the clutch lifting in low speed, else @ 10-30km/h, either you completely no throttle or sudden accelerate. the throttle is just too sensitive until you can't accelerate smoothy.

To prove this, engage in N and slightly press your throttle, you hardly can get rpm between 1000-1500, it will suddenly jump from idle to >1500rpm, this cause the jerky.

i dont think its too sensitive until you can hit another car in front. just maintain your distance like you learn in driving school, sooner you will get used to it, know how to control the throttle

Rule #1: when you're afraid to drive, most likely you'll get into accident

Rule #2: when you're not even a bit of afraid to drive, most likely you will get into accident too. Overconfidence sometimes is deadly.

The jerks and all doesn't affect the safety of the car. It just make you feel uncomfortable. If you afraid to rear end other vehicle, always stick to the two second rule. People cut in, press the brakes to slow down (not complete stop) and then just let them be.

When I baru get my license, I used to drive with my eyes looking only in front and never look at my mirrors, until a motorbike nearly crashed to my driver's door when I make an illegal u turn. From that incident, I always make it a habit to look around during driving, who knows sometime can spot some nice cars in one of my mirrors. tongue.gif

Hi there,

I've been driving FLX from Shah Alam to Damansara everyday since last month (for work), using Federal highway. So far there's no problem facing the traffic jams, plus having a pretty comfortable car didn't make the journey very tiresome and long. The jerks happened here and there but I don't think it'll affect the safety of your ride. thumbup.gif

hmm.gif makes sense too on the throttle part

but I did some digging too and find out that jerking during congestion is also among the CVT's (not just the PUNCH unit) bad traits. CVT adjusts the effective drive ratio for the driven speed. However, most CVTs in the market nowadays couldn't select the effective gear ratio fast enough during tailgating/bumper to bumper crawl since drivers will engage the throttle, then the brake pedal, and then the throttle again, which causes the car to jerk.
