integrated into your vehicle and can be activated during
your Lexus Link account activation or by pressing the
blue “SERVICES” button at any time and telling the
advisor that you would like to activate personal calling.

have to pay an activation fee, and there are no additional long
distance or roaming charges.

personal calling. Placing a call:

saying the number, this means you spoke too quickly
after the “Phone number to dial, please” response.

a “Pardon” response, that means the system did not
hear all the digits of the phone number. Say the
number again and be sure you do not pause between

prompted to the digit dial format. This lets you dial
each digit individually and should be more

STORING/DELETING NUMBERS IN MEMORY
(NAMETAGS)
Your Lexus Link System can store up to 20 phone
numbers. These numbers can be dialed by sim ply saying
“Call”, then saying the nametag.
Tips for creating nametags:
 Short nametags that are similar may be easily confused by
the system. You may get better recognition of your
nametags if you make them longer, for example “George
Washington” (no pause), instead of “George” only.
 The best way to store a nametag is when it is quiet inside the
vehicle. The vehicle should be stationary and the air
conditioning fan turned off.
 When you have finished speaking your phone number, you
do not need to say “Store number” or “Dial” to indicate that\
you are done. If you pause and say nothing, the system will
ask you if you want to store or dial. Say “Yes”.
