Ahhh, I can tell you drive in Economy, not sport mode.
This is documented in my Owner's Manual. (1998 V70)
"L (Low position)
The indicator lamp in the instrument panel (up arrow symbol) and the
lamp in the W mode selector light up when this gear is selected. No
upshift can occur when L is engaged. Select position L for driving in
first and second gears. Use this position to select low gear with no
upshift, e.g. when ascending and descending steep grades. The
transmission will noticeable shift down from second to first if road
speed drops to below 40 km/h (25 mph) when driving in E mode and below
10 km/h (6 mph) in S mode."
