What does it mean when the vehicle jerks during startup?
1 Answers
Jerking during startup refers to the intermittent sudden surge phenomenon when the vehicle begins to move. If this occurs during a driving test, 10 points will be deducted according to regulations. Test vehicles usually have higher idle speeds; generally, after engaging the gear and releasing the handbrake, slowly lifting the clutch will make the car move. Only after the car starts moving should you press the accelerator and shift gears. Reasons for jerking during the test: 1. Subject Two (Parking Skills): If the clutch is released too quickly and the brake is pressed abruptly, jerking is likely to occur. The car will suddenly surge forward a short distance. 2. Subject Three (Road Driving): If the clutch is released too quickly, the accelerator is pressed too hard and suddenly, and the gear is not in neutral, jerking is prone to happen.
