How to Use ETC After Successful Activation?
2 Answers
Usage method after successful ETC activation: 1. You need to recharge the ETC card and attach the small device to the front windshield; 2. When entering the ETC lane at highway toll stations, maintain a speed of approximately 20 kilometers per hour, and the toll will be automatically deducted. ETC is an electronic toll collection system that doesn't require stopping. The ETC dedicated lane is designed for vehicles equipped with ETC onboard units, utilizing electronic toll collection methods. The ETC non-stop toll system achieves the purpose of paying bridge and road tolls without stopping by establishing microwave-dedicated short-range communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations, using computer networking technology for backend settlement processing with banks.
I've been driving for many years, and ETC is actually quite convenient after activation. When I usually take the highway, I directly use the ETC-only lane, maintaining a speed of around 20 km/h without stopping, and the system automatically recognizes and deducts the fee. The deduction information is pushed to my phone or the ETC app in real-time, making it easy to check the balance. If you frequently travel long distances, ETC offers a 5% discount on highway tolls, saving a lot on fuel costs. However, be careful not to randomly remove the OBU device and install it in the wrong position, as this can affect signal recognition. If the lane barrier doesn't open, wait patiently and don't force your way through to avoid deduction failures. In case of any issues, just call the customer service hotline for assistance—most of the time, restarting the device will solve the problem.
