de wielen kunnen onder de kast door draaien waardoor de draaicirkel kleiner is


Explanation:
Underlock is the ability of the front wheels to go below the under-carriage, tightening the turning radius.

Dit betekent dat de wielen onder de kast door kunnen draaien waardoor de draaicirkel kleiner is. Of hier één Nederlands woord voor is, weet ik niet.
