Newbie idiot question

I've looked through the manual and I can't find any picture of it. I have no idea what to call it.

What is that plastic housing block on the windshield behind the rear view mirror?

 

It’s part of the collision avoidance system. Toyota safety sense.

 

TSS-P gadgetry

 

Expensive.

 

It's a hidden camera so if something happens they can see if you are telling the truth or not

 

Ah, so that's where the collision detection thingy is...

Thanks!

 

And there's more in the grill close to the emblem IIRC

 

I commend you sir! It is very rare when a post starts with "I've looked through the manual".

Welcome to the forum

 

This may help explain it:

 

Close to 30 years in IT. I know how to RTFM...

 

Thank you very much.

 

I've been in IT for well over 20yrs, and I know how to read the manual, but often forget (or get full of pride and say "I can figure this out, I got this!")

 

Manual?

Like a manual transmission you mean?

 

IT eh? That explains your username.

 

Close to 40yrs experience with Toyota, I've NEVER Read the manual.

 

40 years ago it listed how to adjust the valves, fluid types and fluid capacities and a few misc items.

Today it's over 50% safety and 'call the dealer' warnings, and it tells you not to drink the fluids.

 

No, that would be Halo.

 

Sad - but true!

- Great way to put it! (I chuckled at your post!)

 

Yep, big brother is keeping an eye on you.

 

Heh. My use of this name predates both, I'm afraid. It's just a name that usually offends people in some manner. At that point, I begin telling them all about my interest in erotic taxidermy.
