1. Accessing your vehicle

  • Start your trip and unlock the car using your Ollo app
  • Pull the door handle to open
  • Press the button on the door interior to exit

2. Unlocking the charging cable

  • Tap the charging icon on the central touchscreen, then select “Unlock”
  • Unplug the cable from the vehicle and store safely
  • The charge port door closes automatically and you are ready to start your trip

3. Adjusting the seat

The Dolphin’s driver’s seat is manually adjusted (no electric controls). Use the levers on the outer side of the driver’s seat to:

  • Slide the seat forward or backward (bottom lever — pull up and slide)
  • Adjust the backrest angle (side lever — lift and recline)
  • Adjust the seat height (side lever — pump up or release down)

4. Adjusting the door mirrors

  • Locate the mirror control dial on the driver’s door panel (next to the window switches)
  • Use the small selector to choose the L (left) or R (right) mirror
  • Use the four-way directional pad to move the mirror up, down, left, or right
  • Return the selector to the centre position when finished to avoid accidental adjustments

5. Adjusting the steering wheel

  • Locate the small lever underneath the steering column
  • Push the lever down to release
  • Adjust the steering wheel up/down and in/out to your preferred position
  • Push the lever back up to lock in place

6. Powering on & selecting drive modes

The Dolphin uses a rotary gear selector — one of the round dials in the row beneath the touchscreen (far right position).

  • Depress the brake pedal — the car powers on automatically
  • To drive: rotate the gear dial clockwise to D
  • To reverse: rotate the gear dial anti-clockwise to R
  • To park: press the small P button next to the dial
  • For neutral: rotate the dial to N

Drive modes (ECO / Normal / Sport) can be selected via the drive mode dial in the same row, or through the touchscreen.

7. Plugging in the vehicle

When returning the vehicle, you must ensure it is plugged in and charging.

  • The charge port is located on the rear right of the vehicle (above the rear wheel)
  • Press the centre of the charge port door to open it
  • Grab the charging cable from the charger and push the plug all the way into the AC (slow charge) port on the left side of the port
  • The charge port light will indicate charging has commenced
  • Lock the vehicle via the Ollo app to confirm the trip has ended
