Its not that hard... you don't really need to read a manual.
When car is parked, the tranny is in P mode.
To put in into a drive mode, release the parking (hand) brake, tap the lever to the right once for S mode (manual), and twice for A mode (auto).
In S mode, use the paddles or the lever to shift up and down. If you want to put it into neutral, tap the lever to the left. You can not engage P mode until you turn the car off... it will go into P by itself. So when you are parking, put it into N and engage the parking brake like you would a manual. When you kill the engine, the tranny goes in P. If you want to go in reverse, push the lever to the left then up.
Unlike an traditional auto, at a red light the car does not creep forward if you let go of the brake. It will roll backwards if you are on a hill, so be aware of that. When starting on a hill, the brake is engaged for a second when you remove your foot so it doesn't roll back. If you remove your foot and don't press the gas, it will start to roll backwards after a second.
The transmission modes change how aggressive the transmission behaves... In auto, comfort will shift sooner at lower RPMs. Sport and Sport+ will hold a gear longer and give you more of a kick in the butt when you shift.
Again, its pretty straightforward. Just know how to put it into gear, and you will be fine. The rest you will figure out.
