To be honest I don't often mess with the flappy paddles (trying to second guess this gearbox??) and tend to stick with auto. When I do have a run on my favourite road and change the drive settings it appears I was just using Sport Lite.

And no, I never read the handbook.
Ha, yeah, from a transmission point of view you could see the Sport button as a Sport Lite setting! Then hit it to the left for the full sport program.
