General 

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

On model 204.0/2 as of 1.3.2011 and on model 204.3 the Electronic Toll Collection control unit can also be used within the scope of Dedicated Short Range Communication (DRSC) (Dealer Option). This makes additional functions available with the traffic control system present in the vehicle.

Function sequence 

To transmit and receive the data, the Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) 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 (ETC) 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. The Electronic Toll Collection control unit is connected via an on-board standard RS-232C-interface to the COMAND controller unit. The ETC also has voice output and visual output (pop-ups).

The voice output is:

• ETC card read error
• ETC card not accepted
• ETC card reader error
• ETC gate communication error
• Detailed information about recent toll payments
• Card not inserted

Visual outputs (pop-ups) on Audio/COMAND display (A40/8) are:

• COMAND controller unit booted and no ETC card inserted ("Please insert ETC card into ETC unit, when using ETC")
• COMAND controller unit booted and ETC card inserted ("ETC is available. Please eject ETC card from ETC unit when you leave the vehicle for security.")
• Positive feedback from fee payment station ("Passing OK, Fee: xx.xx Yen")
• Negative feedback (no authorization) ("Please Stop")
