the vehicle lowers slightly when you lock it
within approximately 60 seconds after
turning off the engine. You should therefore
make sure that no one is standing near the
wheel arches or lying underneath the
vehicle when it is being locked. Otherwise,
personal injury could result.
Also, make sure your vehicle cannot come
into contact with objects, such as a road
curb, while lowering. Your vehicle could
otherwise be damaged.
