Adaptation of the steering forces
The Sport button selects a more sports-oriented driving style. From the junction box electronics, the signal from the Sport button is forwarded across the PT-CAN to the EPS control unit.

The EPS control unit switches to a characteristic map for sports-style road behavior. The deflection and holding forces are geared to a more sporting style (higher steering force characteristics).
The sports configuration uses other characteristic curves that also affect the accelerator pedal module and automatic gearbox.
