The Land Rover Discovery Sport features
a highly sophisticated yet easy-to-use
9-speed automatic transmission with rotary
gear selector. In this video, we show you
how to engage the rotary gear selector
to select a gear, actively change gears
manually using the steering wheel paddle
shifters, and how to exit manual gear selection.
First, start the engine. The
rotary gear selector elevates out of the
lowered park position. If the selector
fails to elevate, check and remove any
obstructions and then restart the engine.
If it still fails, the rotary selector
can still be used in the lowered
position, but make sure you select park
at engine switch off and get the fault
rectified as soon as possible.
The selected gear displays in the message
center. Make sure that the vehicle is
stationary and then apply the brake
pedal before selecting drive, reverse,
neutral, or park. Rotate the gear selector
to the required position; the related LED
indicator in the gear selector then
illuminates. To select sport from drive,
press the gear selector down and rotate
to "S"; the sport LED illuminates in the
selector, sport mode displays in the
message center, the transmission remains
in lower gears for longer. To deselect
sport, rotate the gear selector back to "D."
The drive LED illuminates in the selector. 
Drive mode displays in the message center.
Manual gear selection using the gear shift paddles.
You can select a gear manually while the
selector is in drive or sport position.
To manually change the gear, use the gear
shift paddles mounted on the steering wheel.
Pull the left paddle to shift down a gear; the selected gear illuminates in the message center.
Pull the right paddle to shift up a gear; the selected 
gear illuminates in the message center.
Using the gear shift paddles when in drive allows 
you to temporarily access manual operation.
Using the paddles when in sport 
will activate permanent manual operation.
To exit manual gear selection,
pull and hold the up shift paddle for
approximately two seconds to return to
fully automatic sport mode. To return to
drive mode, move the rotary selector back
to "D." Before switching the engine off, select park.
If any other gear position is 
selected, the selector moves to park.
The gear selector retracts into the
console. If neutral is selected the
system waits for 10 minutes before
selecting park and retracting the selector.
This allows time to go through a car wash.
