What to Do If You Change Your Car with ETC?
1 Answers
If you change your car with ETC, you should reapply at the bank. You cannot dismantle and transfer it to another vehicle by yourself, as this may lead to ETC fraud or evasion of toll fees. Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Avoid the hassle of waiting in line; Green and eco-friendly: Low-carbon solution, vehicles pass through toll stations without stopping, reducing noise and exhaust emissions, thereby minimizing pollution; Cost-saving: Reduce expenses, decrease the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, lower wear and fuel consumption, and users can also enjoy a 5% discount on toll fees; Improved efficiency: The theoretical efficiency of ETC lanes can increase by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC more updated, faster, and more high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. Precautions for Using ETC: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. If the vehicle in front stops, to prevent issues with the ETC device or if the vehicle ahead has no ETC device, maintain a distance of more than 10 meters to avoid automatic payment for the vehicle in front. The speed limit for ETC lane recognition is 20km/h. Driving too fast may prevent the system from reading the vehicle's device information, leading to failed toll deductions. Unauthorized dismantling or moving of the OBU device, or if the ETC electronic tag falls off or becomes loose, may cause the electronic tag to fail. In such cases, take it to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service center for inspection. If the issue is not due to human error, reactivation may suffice. When using a debit card linked to ETC, insufficient balance may also result in failed toll deductions. Follow the guidance of on-site staff and use the manual MTC lane with cash or card payment. Thick car windshields may cause poor signal reception. This is particularly important for vehicles that have had their windshields replaced after accidents or for those who have modified their front windshields.
