Techniques are described for uniquely identifying a quadrant of a symmetrical vehicle, such as a symmetrical autonomous vehicle. The techniques include using service indicator lights to convey information regarding the status and operational mode of the vehicle to an observer and/or service technician. The service indicator lights may uniquely identify quadrants of the vehicle for orienting the vehicle with a representation of the vehicle to guide a technician to a particular location and component of the vehicle located within the identified quadrant.
