CAUTION
If the emergency towing eyelet is used to get out when
your vehicle becomes stuck in the mud, sand or other
condition from which the vehicle cannot be driven out
under its own power, make sure to observe the
precautions mentioned below. Otherwise, excessive
stress will be put on the eyelet and the towing cable or
chain may break, causing serious injury or damage.
If the towing vehicle can hardly move, do not forcibly
continue the towing. Contact your Lexus dealer or a
commercial tow truck service for assistance.
 Tow the vehicle as straight ahead as possible.
 Keep away from the vehicle during towing.
Tips for towing a stuck vehicle:
The following methods are effective to use when your
vehicle is stuck in the mud, sand or other condition from
which the vehicle cannot be driven out under its own
power. Use extreme caution when towing the vehicle. In
addition, keep away from the vehicles and towing cable or
chain when towing.
 Remove the sand and soil in the front and the back of the
tires.
 Place stones or wood under the tires.

INFORMATION
If the number you spoke is repeated incorrectly, just
say “Clear” and the last number will be erased. Try
saying the number again.
 If you get a “Pardon” response, no digit was recorded
by the system; just try again. See “VOICE
COMMANDS/SPEECH RECOGNITION” on page 474
for more tips.
 If you have trouble getting numbers correctly into the
system, store up to 20 frequently called numbers
using the nametag feature directory, so the system
will remember them. After you have stored a number
with a nametag, then you simply say “Call” and the
nametag in order to call the number.
 To differentiate pound and star from other numbers
and commands, you must use the commands
“Pound key” and “Star key”.
To place a call using a stored nametag:
See “STORING/DELETING NUMBERS IN MEMORY
(NAMETAGS)” on page 470 for instructions on how to set up
nametags.

works only during a call.

INFORMATION
 To differentiate pound and star from other numbers

only numbers, star key and pound key. It does not
understand stored nametags.

“Clear”.
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”.

Personal calling: oneword commands

Commands — The personal calling system listens for only
one word at a time. (There are some exceptions: two− word
phrases that are spoken and understood as a single word,
e.g., “Advanced services” and “My number”)
 Numbers — When inputting a phone number, the personal
calling system listens for a continuous string of digits. It can
recognize 7 −, 10−, and 11−digit numbers as well as the
number 911. When inputting security codes or
voice−activated keypad numbers, you must say them one
digit at a time.
 Say “Help” at the “Lexus Link ready” prompt to hear the list
of personal calling commands. Tips 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.

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 special tools. 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.
