The following table shows the voice responses from the Lexus Link System\
.Voice phrase: Explanation about Lexus Link System
This is the Lexus Link system. Integrating
global positioning satellite and wireless
communication technology into your
Lexus and providing enhanced safety,
security, and convenience. At the touch of
a button, or automatically in the event of
an accident, you are connected to a Lexus
Link Advisor who will assist you − 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week where GPS and
cellular coverage is available. The Lexus
Link System also has an audio recorder
allowing you to record reminders to
yourself or information from a Lexus Link
Advisor.
To contact a Lexus Link Advisor, press the
“SERVICES” button. The Lexus Link
System will inform the advisor of your
vehicle’s current location and your
identity. The advisors can handle a wide
variety of services, such as giving
directions to shops, gas stations, ATMs,
restaurants and roadside assistance with
location. Services available will depend
on the service package you selected.In an emergency, press the emergency
services button on your Lexus Link
console. It is marked with a red
ambulance. Upon receiving your call, the
advisor will assess the situation and, if
necessary, alert the nearest emergency
services provider. The emergency button
should only be used in life threatening
situations.
If your Lexus detects that an airbag
deployment may have occurred, the
Lexus Link System will automatically send
an emergency message to the Lexus Link
Call Center.
The system will also automatically contact
the call center if the security system alarm
goes off. An advisor will first contact you
to determine if the alarm is valid. Upon
your confirmation, the advisor will then
provide the vehicle location to the police.If you accidentally set off the alarm, press
the remote door unlock, or insert your key
in the door lock or ignition within 55
seconds. This will prevent the Lexus Link
System from placing a theft call.
The volume control lets you adjust the
volume level for Lexus Link calls, system
prompts, and memos. Press the plus key
to increase volume and the minus key to
decrease it.
To record a memo or a call, press the key
labeled “REC”. When you are finished
recording, press the “REC” button again.
To listen to the memo, press the “PLAY”
button. You can record one message up
to five minutes long. When you record a
new memo, all of the previous memos will
be erased.
For more detailed information on the use,
features and limitations of this system,
please consult your Lexus Link Owner’s
Manual.

Lexus Link transceiver antenna
The Lexus Link transceiver antenna is removable. Before
taking the vehicle to an automatic car wash, disconnect
the antenna by unscrewing it from the roof mount.
NOTICE
If you forget reattaching the Lexus Link transceiver
antenna, the Lexus Link System may not function
properly.
 To prevent damage to the antenna, make sure it is
removed before driving your vehicle through an
automatic car wash.
IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS OR
LOCK YOURSELF OUT
You can purchase a new key at your Lexus dealer if you
can give them the key number and master key.
Even if you lose only one key, contact your Lexus dealer to
make a new key. If you lose all your master keys, you cannot
make new keys; the whole engine immobiliser system must be
replaced.
See the suggestion given in “Keys” on page 8.
You can use the wireless remote control system with the new
key. Contact your Lexus dealer for detailed information.
If your keys are locked in the vehicle and you cannot get a
duplicate, many Lexus dealers can still open the door for you
using special tools. If your vehicle is equipped with Lexus Link
System, call the Lexus Link Call Center 1 −800−25−LEXUS
(Toll−Free) (1−800−255−3987). Once you provide the Lexus
Link Call Center Advisor with your Lexus Link PIN (Personal
Identification Number), or personal security word, they will
unlock your vehicle.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY

NOTICE
You must provide the Lexus Link operator with your
Lexus Link PIN (Personal Identification Number) or
personal security word, before they lock/unlock your
vehicle. However, the Lexus Link System will not be
able to lock or unlock your vehicle if it has been parked
for 48 hours or more after the ignition is turned off.
Upon subscription expiration, all Lexus Link services
(i.e. automatic notification, emergency call functions,
service call functions) are deactivated.
If you must break a window to get in, we suggest breaking the
smallest side window because it is the least expensive to
replace. Be extremely cautious to avoid glass cuts.
