Use of these functions requires an active connected services contract provided by Toyota. Availability and access depend on the applicable service agreement. For additional information about connected services for the Toyota Tacoma, contact your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
For safe use
After the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 software is updated, the way certain functions operate or are controlled may change. Attempting to use the system without understanding the procedures for the installed software version could lead to incorrect operation and may result in an accident causing death or serious injury.
- Before using Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 after an update, read the Digital Owner's Manual that corresponds to the software version currently installed in the Toyota Tacoma. The applicable manual is available through the Owner's Manual website and contains the correct operating information for that version.
Content of the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 Owner's Manual
This Owner's Manual contains information for Ver. 3. Because Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 functions may change through software updates, the latest details concerning controls, operating procedures, warnings, precautions, and other function-specific information should be checked in the Digital Owner's Manual available on the Owner's Manual website.
Before using the system, confirm which software version is installed and read the Owner's Manual that corresponds to that version. This ensures that the instructions being followed match the current Toyota Tacoma system configuration rather than an earlier software release.
Precautions for use
- Some Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 functions may be temporarily disabled if a legal, regulatory, or safety-related issue requires their operation to be restricted.
- If a connected services contract has not been established or the existing contract has expired, software updates cannot be performed wirelessly. The required service status should therefore be confirmed when an update is expected.
Checking your vehicle's Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 version
To locate the correct Owner's Manual for the Toyota Tacoma, first check the software version currently installed in the system. After identifying the version, access the Owner's Manual website and select the documentation that matches it.
Checking the version using Toyota App
The installed Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 software version can be checked through Toyota App. Use the displayed version information when selecting the corresponding Owner's Manual or reviewing available updates.
Selecting your vehicle's Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 version
1. Using a computer or smartphone, access the URL shown below to open the appropriate Owner's Manual resource.
2. Locate and select the file that includes the same system version previously identified for your vehicle. Matching the version correctly is important because operating instructions and precautions may differ between software releases.
Updating the software
When a Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 software update becomes available, Toyota App will display a notification. Review the information provided with the update and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the procedure.
Software update precautions
- Once a software update has been successfully installed, the system cannot be returned to an earlier software version.
- The time required to complete an update depends on communication conditions and the amount of software being transferred, and the process may take several hours. If the engine switch is turned off during the update, installation will be suspended rather than discarded. The process resumes when the engine switch is returned to ON.
- If the software update cannot be completed successfully, the system will start using the previous software version instead of the incomplete update.
- Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 remains available for use while the software update process is being performed, so normal system operation can continue during the update.
What can be checked using the Toyota App
Toyota App provides access to information related to the Toyota Tacoma software installation and can also be used to manage an available update.
- The current software version, update contents, applicable precautions, operating information, and other update-related details can be reviewed.
- An available software update can be started and managed through the app by following the instructions shown on the screen.
