Default SQ5 Throttle Pedal Travel?

The throttle pedal on my 2018 SQ5 has a horribly long travel before anything gets moving. Why is the travel so long and is there any way to adjust it so it is more responsive? Its beyond annoying!!!

are you in S mode? if not, give that a go. i put it into S every time i get into my SQ5. the throttle responds if you breathe on it.

Not in S mode, I find S mode a bit too sensitive sometimes. In D I have to push way down on the gas pedal to get any response.

That's by design. S and D use different throttle maps. In D the throttle is more relaxed or feathered, so to get a response you have to tip in more. There isn't any in between. It's either the dynamic throttle map (S) or the balanced throttle map (D). If you find the shifts too aggressive in S, then the middle ground is putting the transmission in S to activate the dynamic throttle map and then M to control the shifts yourself while keeping the dynamic throttle map.

my advice to you is to keep it in S and just learn how to feather the throttle. i am confident in you, bruv.
