Is the Lexus G-BOOK easy to use?

G-BOOK is Toyota's intelligent co-pilot system, which involves many frontier technologies and background services such as remote diagnosis, remote maintenance, theft tracking, emergency notification, operator service and so on. And realize the interaction between people and vehicles through the on-board display. At present, G-BOOK is used in some models of Toyota and Lexus.

Function introduction

Let's take the Camry Gbook Smart Pilot Edition as an example:

◆ One of the functions: operator service

First of all, the most powerful and core is its operator service. The manufacturer has specially set up a call center for this model. Every time the driver uses this function, he will call the call center. Operators are available 24 hours a day for 365 days, and there are many things they can help drivers.

The first is the destination setting. Generally, the destination input of car navigation equipment is very complicated, either knob input or handwriting input, but in Camry's G-Book system, the driver only needs to tell the operator where he wants to go, and then wait for the navigator to set the destination himself before starting navigation.

This transportation system can not only help you set your navigation destination, but also provide information about facilities and places around your area. Of course, this function can also be done by general navigation, but the operator can do it better.

What's more, the operator can directly tell you some information you want to know, such as the weather forecast of a certain place, the stock market, the latest NBA war situation, and even the gossip of a certain star. The reason why we can provide this service is because we have established cooperative relations with websites such as Sina and Yahoo.

◆ Function 2: Path search

Is there any difference between this function and destination setting? There is a big difference. This function allows you to bypass the congested road sections according to the road information provided by government departments, retrieve the historical data of your GPS route, and then design a fast and good route for you.

However, since only Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen provide traffic information services, this function can only be used in these four cities for the time being.

◆ Function 3: Information provision

I think this function has two main purposes. First of all, the G-Book system can receive various messages from the service center, and then search or display them on the screen of the center console. If you like, you can let the system read these functions one by one, so that you can care about national affairs while driving.

Secondly, there is the function of e-mail, which allows the G-Book system to connect to your POP e-mail and then receive the letters in your e-mail. Similarly, it can help you read them if you like.

◆ Function 4: Remote Diagnosis

What should I do if the fault indicator light suddenly appears on the car? Don't worry, the G-Book system has sent this information to the service center and 4S stores. Even before you realize it, they are already trying to solve the problem for you. All you need to do is take the time to bring the car here for inspection.

This function depends on the perfect combination of G-Book system, vehicle driving computer and 4S shop computer system. Now even the most advanced navigator doesn't have this function, so I think the remote diagnosis function is a very practical function after the destination is set.

These are the convenient and comfortable functions it can provide, aren't they very powerful? Don't worry, this is only half of its function, and the other half of its safety and peace of mind function is ready.

Speaking of safety and peace of mind, I think these functions may be more useful than setting a destination and finding a cafe. I think you will feel thoughtful when you see these functions.

◆ Function 5: Emergency Notification

What should I do if I suddenly get sick in the car, can't drive, and even have life-threatening problems? At this time, you may have to ask others for help. What if you are in the wild? It might be easier if there is a G-Book system.

Just press the emergency notification button at the bottom of the center console, the operator will immediately ask about your illness, help you contact the nearest emergency center, and tell them your exact location, vehicle number plate, body color and other information, so that they can reach your location in the fastest time.

After pressing this button, in order to ensure the smooth flow of information, other functions of the G-Book system can't be used for half an hour, which is also to keep in touch and communicate with the owner at any time.

◆ Function 6: Road rescue

Compared with the emergency notification function, this function is relatively simple, that is, if the vehicle breaks down, the owner can contact the call center, and they will arrange the nearest 4S shop to rescue the customer.

◆ Function 7: Theft Notification

If the door, hood and trunk are illegally opened, or someone enters the car, the anti-theft detection system will be triggered. At this time, the car will automatically send a signal to the service center, and the service center will immediately call the emergency communication number reserved by the owner to let him see if there is really something wrong with the car.

What if the car is really lost? According to GPS, the service center can know the location of the vehicle at any time and provide it to the police when necessary to help them find the stolen vehicle.

You must be surprised, why don't you inform the police immediately when the vehicle breaks down, but inform the owner first and let him decide whether to call the police? The reason is simple: you can't be sure whether there is something really wrong with the vehicle, and you can't be sure whether this situation should be reported to the police.

◆ Function 8: Remote maintenance

Regular maintenance of vehicles is very important to performance, and careless owners can easily forget to maintain them immediately. What should we do?

The G-Book system will send your mileage to the 4S shop. When you need maintenance, they will send an email to the G-Book system. The owner will receive this message when driving, and you can make an appointment for maintenance directly on the G-Book.
