For decades now, Toyota has been enhancing the owner experience by implementing new technology into each and every vehicle. Now, Toyota is taking another step in this high-tech integration with the Toyota Driver’s Companion for the 2021 Toyota Sienna.
This feature takes all the information you’d get from a typical owner’s manual and makes it virtual, interactive and voice-activated. If you are the owner of a 2021 Toyota Sienna, you’ll be the first to experience this new feature before Toyota rolls it out to other models in its lineup.
As mentioned above, the Toyota Driver’s Companion is a voice-activated assistant that will help you better learn and understand the features in your Sienna. In fact, Toyota has given the assistant a name: Joya.
Accessing it is easy. Simply download the Toyota App to your smartphone. The Toyota Driver’s Companion will be accessed through the app.
The tool isn’t necessarily meant to completely replace the vehicle version of your owner’s manual. Instead, you can think of it as a resource that accompanies your owner’s manual and provides a digital option for instances when learning about your vehicle digitally is more convenient.
In fact, through the companion, you’ll be able to access important functions of your Sienna, such as changing driving settings. Of course, you’ll also have access to all sorts of information like button locations and safety information.
Because the companion can be operated via voice, you can ask it questions. For example, ask “what is the height of my car?” The companion will give you an immediate answer through audible and interactive visual outputs. The app doesn’t just provide generic vehicle information though; it also offers details specific to your vehicle, such as why the check engine light may have turned on.
