It should say the word SPORT on the dash and yes, you disengage it while driving but I can’t remember if it defaults to off when switching off.

I’ve actually got a 2018 (my 2016 got stolen) but it is a diesel and diesels don’t have sport mode. However, I had a 2018 petrol in the USA for a month so am familiar with them.

At last i have figured it out, i need to slide /push button forward and hey presto "sport appears in orange above gear readout on the dash(i kept moving it backwards as this felt more natural to me) and boy did it help with my overtaking ;D
