I suspect you may be correct.

I don't know but I suspect that all they had to do was the same as many other manufacturers that have a "normal" driving mode (that would be used for tests) and a selectable "Sports" mode that probably would not pass the tests. In these cars it always re-sets to the "normal" mode when the engine is turned off.
