The Virtual Assistants can help you keep up with your contacts while you’re on the go. You can say “Hey Lexus, call Alice” – or just dictate a specific phone number.
[A caption reads: “Hey Lexus, send a message to Alice Mobile”]
You can even send a text message by saying “Hey Lexus, send a message to Alice mobile”. With the standard Lexus Assistant, you will be able to choose from a list of pre-selected messages while Intelligent Assistant will allow you to dictate your own personalized message to your contact.
Finally, you can ask the Virtual Assistants to adjust climate control settings including, airflow mode, fan speed and temperature.
[A caption reads: “Hey Lexus, set the temperature to 23 degrees”]
