Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Drive Modes
#3
As far as we know, there is no drive mode switch support for the Android cars. 

The ESC sport mode was also dropped with the Android system. That was not a feature of the drive modes, but it's own "button" in the Sensus screen. It appeared as a typical "ESC off" looking button, but was billed as a sport mode where the threshhold of intervention is raised. I can confrim, I used it when I briefly ran my T6 S60 on a track, in sport mode the system rarely activated on track. Now that I have the 455hp T8 S60 (22.5 with Sensus) I have found the ESC sport mode gives a little leeway in wheel spin which the T8 can use on a hard launch...

I don't know if the system would theoretically still support "ESC sport" mode in the Android car, without a UI in the system to access it, it's hard to know. The software could be completely changed since they eliminated that option.

(Personally...for me, this and many more "tweaks" available only in the Sensus, is why I sought out and bought a 22.5 S60 T8, the only extended range model with Sensus.)
