Can the highway ETC still be used after being taken down?

[OBrianna]

Highway ETC can still be used when taken down during non-use, but it will become invalid if removed during operation. ETC Working Principle: Through the dedicated short-range communication between the on-board electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane of the toll station, the computer network technology is used to conduct background settlement processing with the bank. This achieves the purpose of vehicles passing through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the fees. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When encountering a stationary vehicle ahead, to prevent the front vehicle's ETC device from malfunctioning or not having an ETC device at all, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic fee deduction for the front vehicle. The recognized speed for ETC lane passage is 20km/h. If the speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, which will also lead to fee deduction failure. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, etc., will cause the electronic tag to become invalid. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for inspection. Non-manual loosening or detachment only requires reactivation. When using a debit card bound to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause fee deduction failure. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to go to the manual MTC lane and use cash or card for passage. Poor sensing due to overly thick car windshields. Vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or modified front windshields should pay special attention.
