General
The ETC simplifies the process of payment on toll roads. It settles payment procedures automatically without the driver having to stop the car.

Function sequence
To transmit and receive the data, the Electronic Toll Collection antenna (A2/94) and the Electronic Toll Collection control unit (A50/3) are installed in the vehicle. The Electronic Toll Collection control unit communicates with the toll booth via the Electronic Toll Collection antenna. For automatic payment a special ETC card must be inserted into the Electronic Toll Collection control unit. All information concerning the user and the fees that have already been paid are stored on this card. On the vehicle side, the Electronic Toll Collection control unit is connected by an RS-232C interface to the COMAND controller unit. The ETC also has voice output and visual output.
Voice outputs are accomplished when - a read error occurs in the ETC card- the ETC card is not accepted
- an error occurs in the ETC card reader
- a communication error occurs in the ETC gate
- detailed information is present on recent toll payments
- the ETC is not inserted
Visual outputs (pop-up) in the Audio/COMAND display (A40/8) are shown when:
- Booted COMAND controller unit and ETC card not inserted
- Booted COMAND controller unit and ETC card inserted
- Positive feedback from toll booth
- Negative feedback from toll booth (e.g. no authorization)
