What Are the Reasons for the ETC Barrier Not Lifting When Entering the Highway?

Reasons for the ETC barrier not lifting when entering the highway include detachment or removal of the ETC device; ETC device malfunction; lane malfunction; pass card malfunction; or being blacklisted. In such cases, it is necessary to promptly contact on-site staff for assistance. How ETC Works: Through dedicated short-range communication between the onboard electronic tag installed on the vehicle's windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at the toll station, computer networking technology is used to perform backend settlement processing with the bank. This allows vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping while still paying the toll. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. When encountering a vehicle in front that has stopped, 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 sensing and payment for the front vehicle. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h. If the vehicle speed is too fast, the vehicle device information cannot be read, which will also result in payment failure. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, detachment or loosening of the ETC electronic tag, etc., will cause the electronic tag to fail. It can be sent to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for testing. Non-deliberate loosening or detachment only requires reactivation. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance will also cause payment failure. Follow the guidance of on-site staff to use the manual MTC lane and pass by cash or card. Excessive thickness of the car windshield can cause poor sensing. This is especially important for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after an accident or for those who have modified their front windshields.

How long is the validity period of a small car's vehicle license?

The vehicle license is valid indefinitely, but it still requires annual inspection. The inspection validity period is noted on the supplementary page, which essentially indicates the deadline for the annual inspection. Therefore, the validity period of the vehicle license is also linked to the annual inspection. Vehicle license processing locations: Embassies/consulates and foreign-licensed vehicles should apply at the vehicle management office. Other vehicles should apply at the sub-office of the vehicle management office corresponding to the residential address stated in the vehicle owner's identity document. For vehicles with a registered address in suburban districts/counties (specifically Jing B licensed motorcycles, tricycles, low-speed trucks, and wheeled self-propelled machinery), applications should be made at the local district/county vehicle management station. Required documents for application: Application Form for Replacement of Vehicle License Plates/Certificates, identity documents of the vehicle owner and agent, the original license plate (if one plate is illegible or lost), and for replacement of the vehicle license, a standard photo of the vehicle is also required.

Does modifying the front grille require filing with the vehicle management office?

Modifying the front grille requires filing with the vehicle management office. During the annual inspection of motor vehicles, it is necessary to check the appearance. The CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) system is part of the vehicle's exterior, so after modifying the front grille, it must be registered with the vehicle management office, and the photo on the driving license should be replaced. Requirements for modifying the front grille: Modifying the front grille with styles already filed by the manufacturer: Many vehicles offer optional appearance sport kits or some exterior parts when purchasing, and these exterior parts have already been filed with the vehicle management office by the manufacturer; The modified front grille should not change the length and width of the vehicle: According to the latest "Motor Vehicle Inspection Work Regulations," modifying the front grille has been included in the legal scope, but it is important to ensure that the modification does not alter the vehicle's length and width. Main functions of the car front grille: The main functions of the car front grille are for the air intake and ventilation of the radiator, engine, air conditioning, etc., to prevent damage to internal components from foreign objects during driving, as well as for aesthetic and personalization purposes.

How is the ETC device powered?

There are two types of ETC devices: one is solar-powered, and this type of ETC does not require charging as it uses its own built-in power source. The ETC electronic tag consumes power, but it does not need regular charging during normal use because there is a solar panel on the back of the battery that can charge itself. During installation, it is necessary to avoid the black areas on the windshield. The other type requires wired charging, and if it is not used frequently, it is recommended to charge it once every two to three months. ETC stands for Electronic-Toll-Collection, which means electronic toll collection system. To apply for ETC, you need to provide the original and photocopies of the vehicle owner's valid ID card and driving license. If the application is not made by the owner, the agent's valid ID card is also required. The photocopy of the driving license should include the page with the most recent annual inspection stamp. Additionally, a bank card for deducting highway tolls is needed. Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old and own the vehicle. For company vehicles, the required documents are: A letter of introduction from the vehicle owner (with company seal); photocopy of the organization code certificate or business license (with company seal); original ID card of the agent; original driving license of the vehicle; the vehicle that needs ETC. Benefits of installing ETC: Time-saving: eliminates the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: reduces noise and exhaust emissions as vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping; Cost-saving: reduces wear and tear and fuel consumption by minimizing vehicle starts and stops, and users can enjoy toll discounts; Efficiency: ETC lanes can theoretically increase passing efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. Here are some precautions for installing ETC: Do not obstruct the view; it is best to install it behind the rearview mirror: many car models have windshields with a large tilt angle, which reduces the driver's field of vision. If this is not considered during ETC installation, it may increase the driver's blind spots. Installing it behind the rearview mirror on the right side can avoid obstructing the view. Do not interfere with charging: the ETC electronic tag consumes power but generally does not require charging or battery replacement because it has a solar panel on the back for self-charging. Therefore, during installation, avoid the black areas on the windshield and positions that may block the solar panel. Once installed, do not remove it arbitrarily: the button in the middle of the adhesive is an anti-removal lever connected to a switch. After installation, the windshield will press the anti-removal lever in. If removed arbitrarily, the lever will pop out and trigger the switch, locking the electronic tag and rendering it unusable. You will then need to visit an ETC service point to unlock it. This is designed to prevent multiple vehicles from sharing one device. When using ETC, note the following: the ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. To prevent the ETC device of the vehicle in front from malfunctioning, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic toll payment for the vehicle in front. The ETC lane recognition speed is 20 km/h; driving too fast may result in failure to read the vehicle's device information, leading to toll deduction failure. If a debit card is bound to ETC, insufficient balance may also cause toll deduction failure.
