IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
380Tips for entering a phone number using the dial and store
commands:

Say the entire 7 −, 10− or 11−digit number and wait for the
system to respond. You do not need to say “Dial”, “Store”,
or “Verify” after the phone number.
 If you want to enter a number that is not 7 −, 10− or 11 −digit,
use the digit dial or digit store commands.
 Do not pause between the digits. If there is a long pause
between digits, the system may think that you have finished
saying the entire number.
 The system does not recognize the words “Hundred” or
“Thousand”. Instead, you must say each digit. For
example, a number starting with “1 −800 ..” is pronounced
“one−eight−zero−zero...”.
 The system often works better when the digits are combined
smoothly into a single phrase. Try saying the entire phone
number more rapidly.
 If problems continue when saying the entire phone number,
try using the digit dial or digit store commands to enter one
digit at a time.
Say each one of the syllables in the word clearly. Do not omit
any of the syllables.
Be sure to articulate each sound in the word. The voice
recognition system can have trouble recognizing a
word when
final consonants are not pronounced. It may be helpful to
emphasize the final consonant.
If the system is confusing 2 commands that are similar (e.g.
“Dial” and “Redial”), be sure to pronounce the distinction.\
In
this example, “Redial” may be recognized better if the first
syllable is emphasized and slightly lengthened.
Avoid clipping short words and syllables. Instead, try
lengthening the short words and syllables, and slow down your
overall speech rate a little. You can also try lengthening
different syllables of the word.
Try speaking louder. When there is a lot of background noise,
the system has more trouble hearing your speech. If, however,
you find that you are speaking so loud that you are stressing
your voice, speaking somewhat quieter but with clear
pronunciation may help.

IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS ORLOCK 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 immobilizer 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 sp ecial 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) and select the option for Lexus
Link. Once you provide the Lexus Link Call Center Advisor
with your Lexus Link PIN (Personal Identification Number),
they will unlock your vehicle.
NOTICE
You must provide the Lexus Link operator with your
Lexus Link PIN (Personal Identification Number ) before
they lock/unlock your vehicle or activate a remote horn
and lights. However, the Lexus Link System will not be
able to lock or unlock your vehicle or perform lights
flashing/remote horn 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, remote door locking/unlocking
function, remote horn and lights function) 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.
