Lexus Display Audio system
Due to natural language speech recognition technology, this system
enables recognition of a command when spoken naturally. However, the
system cannot recognize every variation of each command.
In some situations, it is possible to omit the command for the procedure
and directly state the desired operation.
This function is available in English, Spanish and French.
