I don't think they can smell, taste, or hear - they just pick up the chemical signals and vibrations from their setae and trichobothria bristles to identify palatable prey and other things in their surroundungs. If you watch your T pounce on prey, you can see their amazing ability to pick up vibrations and zero in on a prey item.
In short, I think T's can see (poorly) and feel, but their "spider sense" is the millions of nerve-connected bristles that make smell, taste and hearing obsolete. T's are awesome creatures to ponder!
