Sprint function
Concept
Depending on the equipment, the Sprint function
can be used for an upcoming acceleration proc‐
ess. The Sprint function prepares the drive sys‐
tem for the acceleration process.
General information
When the Sprint function is activated, the re‐
sponse of the vehicle will become more dynamic.
Activating
1. Keep the left shift paddle pulled until SPRINT
is displayed in the instrument cluster.
▷ The transmission shifts down to the low‐
est possible gear and switches to manual
operation M.
▷ A dynamic setting has been activated for
the drive system.

I've only tried this 2-3 times, but I can confirm that I have sprint mode. Do you have paddles?
Damn. That is new info. I had no idea that existed. Now I have to see if my car has it
