C or S mode: The Answer (S) Sport = Standard

In your owner's manual at page #144 you will find the following:
Automatic shift program
The program mode selector switch is located on the lower part of the center
console. Program mode selector switch C Comfort For comfort driving
S Sport For standard driving

The selected program mode appears in the multifunction display.
1 Selected program mode (comfort or sport) Press program mode selector switch
repeatedly until the letter of the desired program mode appears in the
multifunction display.

Select C for comfort driving: The vehicle starts out in second gear (both forward and reverse) for gentler starts. This does not apply if full throttle is applied or gear
range1 is selected. Traction and driving stability are improved on icy roads.
Upshifts occur earlier even when you give more gas. The engine then
operates at lower rpms and the wheels are less likely to spin.

Select S for standard driving: The vehicle starts out in first gear. Upshifts occur later.
!Never change the program mode when the gear selector lever is out of park positionP. This could result in a change of driving characteristics for which you may not be prepared.

The last selected program mode (C or S) is switched on when the engine is restarted.
