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 substant ial background noise. Try to wait
slightly longer before speaking.

Link ready”, say “Dial”.

say the entire number you wish to dial without pausing.
The system will repeat the number and ask “Yes or No”.

The system responds with “Dialin g” (your call will then be con-
nected).

“Digit Dial” enables you to dial a phone number by individual digit. This is
helpful when there is background no ise 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 “Dig it please”, say the first digit
of the number to be dialed and wait for it to be repeated back to

Dialing a phone number saved as a nametag

Say “Yes” (or “No” to try again).
When the system responds with “Nametag, please”, say “home”.
When the system resp onds with “About to store home. Does that
sound OK?”, say “Yes” (or “No” to try again).
The system responds with “Storing home”.
- The system can store up to 20 nametags.
- Try to use multi-syllable nametags such as “my home”, and “the office”.
- Try to avoid similar-sounding nametags like “Tim” and “Kim”.
When using the “Dial” and “Store” commands, the system will recog-
nize 7, 10, and 11-digit phone numbers. When dialing or storing a phone
number, you can say “zero” or “oh” for 0.

■Accessing voicemail and sending number tones to an automated
phone system
You can access a voicemail system and respond to a number request
from an automated phone system. When you receive the request for a
number while in a call, press the button after saying the numbers
one at a time, say “Dial”.
If you do not say any commands within 5 seconds after pressing the button,
or if you press the button twice, the system cannot receive the number tones
you are trying to send. Press the button to try again.
■ How to retrieve your phone number
Press the button. When the system responds with “Lexus
Link ready”, say “My number”.
The system responds with “Your number is [#]”.
If the response is “Per sonal calling unavailable”, this means your personal
calling feature is not yet active, this may take a few days from vehicle
delivery. It could also mean that the pe rsonal calling service is not avail-
able in your area. Press the butto n to check with an Advisor. Now
that you have your number, take a moment to practice by making your
first call to your home phone. Rememb er, the system recognizes numbers
better when you say them quickly.

■Speech recognition information
The Lexus Link speech recognition systems use speech technology that is designed
to understand a wide range of speakers of American English. However, the technol-
ogy may not work as well if a regional or ethnic accent is encountered. If the speech
recognition system does not work properly, refer to the following.
●The system does not recognize your command properly if noise is present. Per-
form the following to improve voice command recognition.
• Turn down or off the air conditioning system.
• Slow down to reduce wind noise.
• Close the windows and the moon roof to block outside noise.
• Have all occupants be quiet so that the system does not recognize their con- versation as a command.
●When to speak
Say a command within 5 seconds after the system prompts you to speak.
●How to speak
• Speak forcefully and clearly.
• Speak calmly and naturally.
• The driver should speak while facing forward, and the passenger should
speak facing the inside rear view mirror.
• Avoid speaking with a rising intonati on. Use a flat or falling intonation.
●Tips for one-word commands
• The system recognizes only one word at a time for personal calling. (There
are some exceptions, such as “Advanced services” and “My number”.)
• When inputting the security codes or voice-activated keypad number, you
must say them one digit at a time. When inputting a phone number, the
speech recognition system can recognize 7, 10, and 11-digit numbers as well
as the number 911.

●Tips for entering a phone number using the “Dial” and “Store” commands
• You do not need to say “Dial”, “Store” or “Verify” after the phone number.
• If the phone number entered is not 7, 10, or 11 digits, use the “Dial” or “Store”
command.
• Do not pause between the digits.
• Speech recognition does not recognize the words “Hundred” or “Thousand”. Instead, say each digit.
• Speech recognition often works better when the digits are combined smoothly into a single phrase.
• If the system does not recognize your command properly, use the “Digit dial”
command to enter one digit at a time.
●If problems continue
• Say each one of the syllables in the word clearly.
• Be sure to articulate each sound in the word.
• If the system is confusing 2 commands th at are similar, be sure to pronounce
the distinction.
• Avoid clipping short words and syllables.
• Try speaking louder to prevent background noise from drowning out your voice.
●Audible voice prompts
Some of the voice guidance instructions can be changed to Spanish. Press the
button and ask a Lexus Link Advisor.
