1. A vehicle includinga chassis;
- a plurality of traction devices positioned to support the chassis;
a tool supported by the chassis to move material;
an object detector supported by the chassis and configured to detect objects around the vehicle;
a camera supported by the chassis and configured to capture an image of objects around the vehicle;
a monitor supported by the chassis and configured to output the image captured by the camera; and
a controller configured to modify the output of the monitor to increase perceptibility of the image captured by the camera based on input from the object detector.

Abstract
A vehicle, such as a loader, includes a chassis, a plurality of traction devices positioned to support the chassis, a tool supported by the chassis to move material, and a rear object detector. The object detector may be supported by the chassis of the vehicle and configured to detect objects around the vehicle.

9. A vehicle including
a chassis; -
a plurality of traction devices positioned to support the chassis; a tool supported by the chassis to move material; a camera supported by the chassis and configured to capture an image of objects around the vehicle; an object detector supported by the chassis and configured to detect objects around the vehicle and to determine a distance between at least one of the objects and the object detector; a monitor supported by the chassis; and a controller configured to control the output of the monitor, the controller having a first mode in which the monitor at least displays operational information of the vehicle, the controller being configured to modify the output of the monitor to increase perceptibility of the image captured by the camera based on the distance input from the object detector. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A vehicle including
a chassis; -
a plurality of traction devices positioned to support the chassis; a tool supported by the chassis to move material; an object detector supported by the chassis and configured to detect objects around the vehicle; an alarm providing an alarm signal including an audible component to an operator of the vehicle indicative of an object being detected by the object detector, the audible component including at least repeating first and second segments, the length of the segments being dependent on a detected distance of the detected object; and a controller configured to receive input from the object detector and alter the alarm signal of the alarm based on the detected distance of the detected object. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
