How does sport button work

There is a ABC sport button on my centre consul, this goes from sport
to comfort, does it also control the performance.

Stiffer suspension and faster response time of suspension I think.

I think that's what I read somewhere, but I don't feel a bit of difference...

Found this in another thread:

The ABC sport setting does not change the suspension feel as far as the dampening rates. It simply changes the rate at which body roll is countered.

Arno Rohringer, head of Mercedes spring/shock absorber development, says body roll during cornering is reduced by 68% and by 75% if the driver has selected ABC's "sport" mode. Braking dive and acceleration "squat" is all but eliminated. Body stabilizing time after a rapid swerve is cut by 30%. Ride height also can be continually adjusted, and at 140 mph (225 km/h) the ride height is lowered by almost a half-inch (10 mm).
