OPEL ROCKS-
DOS AND DON’TS �
DON’T
Do not depress the accelerator pedal when shifting
between driving modes – always select the correct
mode irst. The buttons for driving mode (D),
neutral (N) and reverse (R) are located directly to
the left of the driver’s seat.
DO
If you are not going to move your Rocks- for more
than a month, you should disconnect the 12-volt
battery. Simply remove the fuse F7-50 irst and
then disconnect the 12-volt battery (your 48-volt
Rocks- main battery should be charged above
50 % before you do this). This will prevent the
12-volt battery from discharging completely. If you
don’t do this, you may have to recharge the 12-volt
battery with an external battery charger before
you can recharge your Rocks- again.
DON’T
The 12-volt battery must never be completely
discharged, otherwise it will no longer be possible
to start the engine or charge the 48-volt main
battery.

portant dos and don’ts …

CHARGING
THE ROCKS-
Charging your Rocks- is super easy: con-
nect the integrated charging cable to a
normal household socket and you’ll have
enough energy for your next adventure.
DO
Park as close as possible to the socket, set the
parking brake and switch of the engine. Remem-
ber: the charging process cannot be started if the
parking brake is not applied.
DON’T
Do not use extension leads, multiple sockets or
damaged power sockets.
DO
To charge the battery, unroll the integrated
charging cable completely, pass it through the door
frame opening then through the handle recess
before closing the passenger door. Then connect
the charging cable directly to the household power
supply (220-volt household socket). You can
interrupt the charging process at any time by
unplugging the charging cable from the power
socket.
DON’T
Never start your Rocks- if it is still plugged in. In
addition, only ever use the built-in charging cable.
You can easily track the charging process via the
myOpel app.
DO
Only charge your Rocks- when the temperature
of the battery is between –5 °C and +53 °C.
DON’T
Your Rocks- will not charge below a –5 °C battery
temperature. As the battery temperature cannot
be checked, as a guide you should check the
ambient air temperature instead.
DO
Try to park your Rocks- in a garage or a covered
area where the temperature is between 5 °C and
40 °C. This will help to optimize your battery
performance and charging speed.
DON’T
If the temperature of the 48-volt battery is below
5 °C, the charging capability is reduced. You should
therefore expect longer charging times in very cold
weather.
DO
You can also charge the Rocks- at a public
charging station. You will need an adapter for this
though. You can find it HERE!

DRIVING
THE ROCKS-
DO
Try to pay attention to your driving style. Your
energy consumption will depend on your speed, the
load, route and the road conditions. The more
relaxed your driving style, the greater your range
will be! The maximum speed is limited to 45 km/h.
DON’T
Note that under certain circumstances the maxi-
mum speed will be considerably reduced. This will
depend on factors such as the residual energy,
ambient and battery temperature plus driving
conditions such as at an extreme altitude.
If you drive in a constant energy-intensive style,
the ‘foot on the accelerator pedal’ warning symbol
will appear. Followed by the ‘turtle mode’ symbol a
short time later if you continue to drive in the same
way, which means your maximum speed will be
automatically reduced.
Do not use (snow) chains. This is not
allowed on the Rocks-.
No objects may be transported on the roof.
Towing the vehicle is only allowed under
certain conditions:
– The rear wheels remain on the ground.
– The vehicle is fully loaded.
– With a tow bar.
Now the fun really begins: your Rocks- is
so simple and easy to drive; in fact, not
unlike a bumper car or a go-kart. Grab the
steering wheel, select the driving mode ‘D’,
then just press the accelerator pedal and
of you go.
