The present disclosure relates to a method performed by an intention indicating system (1) of a vehicle (2), for indicating to a potential observer an ongoing or impending autonomous kinematic action of the vehicle. The intention indicating system determines (1001) an ongoing or impending autonomous kinematic action of the vehicle. The intention indicating system further performs (1002) a vertical vehicle motion representing the autonomous kinematic action, which vertical vehicle motion comprises raising and/or lowering a front portion (201) and/or a rear portion (202) of a vehicle body (20) of the vehicle. The vertical vehicle motion comprises - when the autonomous kinematic action comprises a transition from a standstill state to a shut down state - lowering the vehicle body front portion and rear portion from a nominal suspension level (N) to a lower suspension level (L); additionally or alternatively - when the autonomous kinematic action comprises a transition from the shut down state to the standstill state - raising the vehicle body front portion and rear portion from the lower suspension level to the nominal suspension level; additionally or alternatively - when the autonomous kinematic action comprises an acceleration - raising the front portion and/or lowering the rear portion; and/or additionally or alternatively - when the autonomous kinematic action comprises a deceleration - lowering the front portion and/or raising the rear portion.The disclosure also relates to an intention indicating system in accordance with the foregoing, and further to a vehicle comprising such an intention indicating system.
