Abstract:
1. A system for a vehicle that includes a movable chassis and an operator station rotatable relative to the chassis, the system comprising: a sensor configured to detect an orientation of the operator station relative to the chassis and to generate a signal indicative of the orientation of the operator station; an indicator assembly disposed in the operator station, the indicator assembly including a first indicator indicative of the operator station oriented in a first direction, and a second indicator indicative of the operator station oriented in a second direction; and a controller in communication with the sensor to receive the signal indicative of the operator station orientation from the sensor, the controller further in communication with the indicator assembly to selectively vary the indicator assembly between the first indicator and the second indicator based on the signal indicative of the operator station orientation, the indicator assembly variable between the first indicator and the second indicator in response to the sensor detecting a change in the operator station orientation between a forward-facing direction and a rearward-facing direction.
