Check the manual for proper warm up when starting the car. Mazda recommends a short warm up period to allow rpm's to drop from 1500 or so to about 1000. It takes about 15 seconds. The jerking should subside. I've also noticed a different response in lower gears when the car is cold and as suggested just take it easy on the throttle until it fully warms and you should be ok. See the dealer if this doesn't help. Good luck!My 2016 CX-9 jerks slightly at low speed sometimes. The sensation feels like I've been rear-ended very slightly in a way that car pushes forward abruptly. This usually happens at low speed and engine is cold, not much time after I started the car. This bothers me, but I am not able to reproduce at will, so I've been postponing to bring the issue to my dealer.
Anyone else experience this?
I had that happen a few times when the car was cold. It happens when the car shifts from 1st to 2nd gear... kind of like when u let the clutch out too quick. It only happens very rarely. Usually I would go easier on the throttle when that occurs and it goes away once it warms up.

It happens to the CX-5 also and all Skyactiv technology cars. Again, check the owners manual. It's normal.
Check page 4-8.I am not able to find any reference on engine warm-up from the owner's manual. Can you point me where I can find such from owner's manual?
I have searched all occurrences of "warm", "rpm", "1000", "1500" and even "jerk", but none were about recommendation for engine warm-up before driving.
