Voice recognition error message:
•“Pardon” The system responds with this message if the system does not
recognize your voice command properly. Say the command slowly again.
After the third time this happens, the system will try to guess the command
you are requesting. If correct, say “Yes”. If not, say “No”, and the system will
prompt you with its next-best guess.
• “Slower please” The system responds with this message if you say a com-
mand before the system is ready to listen or if your voice command cannot
be recognized because of substantial background noise. Try to wait
slightly longer before speaking.
■ There are 5 ways to make a call.
Dialing a specific number
Press the button. When the system responds with “Lexus
Link ready”, say “Dial”.
When the system responds with “Phone number to dial please”,
say the entire number you wish to dial without pausing.
The system will repeat the number and ask “Yes or No”.
Say “Yes” (or “No” to try again).
The system responds with “Dialing” (your call will then be con-
nected).
Dialing digit-by-digit (“Digit Dial”)
“Digit Dial” enables you to dial a phone number by individual digit. This is
helpful when there is background noise and also improves voice recogni-
tion.
Press the button. When the system responds with “Lexus
Link ready”, say “Digit dial”.
When the system responds with “Digit please”, say the first digit
of the number to be dialed and wait for it to be repeated back to
you.
Continue one digit at a time until all digits are entered.
