Automatic sports switch on the S40 I 1.8, what happens anyway?

Hello Volvonauten! after more than 12 years of gentle handling of the well running S40 phase one I sometimes use the sports button. Mer Kraft is provided, the acceleration is better, as far as clear. Does this change anything about the driving characteristics? The operating instructions are not quite clear, is the suspension set differently, or is there simply more Ps with activated sports circuit?
