Video tutorial

In today's video, see how the Land Rover Discovery transmission works. Specifically, the small front lever.

Push it forward to engage low range. Pull it back to activate high range four-wheel drive.

If you move the lever to the left, in addition to the two previous options, you can engage the differential lock. Remember to perform this operation only when driving off-road and not on pavement.

If, as shown in the video, you have this lever and the label indicated, then your vehicle has the ability to perform these operations.
