What Does This Button Do?
I’ve been waiting for a button like this for some time: automatic doughnut mode. Engage and do your best impersonation of a winning NASCAR driver with smoky, tire-torching doughnuts until the tires pop. I wish that button did exist in something like the Dodge Challenger SRT8, but in the 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser the button’s purpose is very different.
Turn Assist is part of the Land Cruiser’s suite of off-road features. Others include a Crawl Control transfer case with low range and five low-speed settings, hill descent control that maintains a set speed while descending and hill start assist to keep the vehicle stationary on steep or slippery surfaces.
Most owners won’t have to use the Turn Assist in everyday driving, but you’ll be properly equipped if your driveway or carpool lane is on the side of a mountain.

I have a crazy red sensor on my dashboard. In my old car (02’ Vibe) this sensor told me the temp outside and turned on and off my headlights for me but in my 2002 Dodge Intrepid I have no clue what it does. All I can figure is it is telling the aliens where my car is at all times. It defiantly makes connection with the mother ship as it blinks a red LED when I turn on the car.
Emily, that is probably the car alarm.
