Do I still need to install an OBU after installing ETC?

To enjoy the preferential policies on toll fees, you need to apply for an ETC and also install the OBU electronic tag. ETC Usage Precautions: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When the vehicle in front stops, to prevent issues such as the ETC device malfunctioning or the absence of an ETC device in the front vehicle, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic payment for the front vehicle. The recognition speed for ETC lanes is 20 km/h. If the vehicle speed is too fast, the system may fail to read the vehicle's device information, leading to payment failure. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag falls off or becomes loose, will cause the electronic tag to become invalid. You can take it to the bank where you applied for the ETC card or the highway service office for inspection. If the loosening or detachment is not due to human factors, it only requires reactivation.
