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. The Electronic Toll Collection control unit is connected via an onboard RS-232 interface to the COMAND controller unit. The ETC also has voice output and visual output.

Voice output occurs, when
- a read error occurs on the ETC card
- the ETC card is not accepted
- an error occurs on the ETC card reader
- a communication error occurs in the ETC gate
- detailed information about recent toll payments is available
- the ETC card is not inserted

Visual outputs (pop-ups) appear on the Audio/COMAND display (A40/8) for:
- 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. lack of authorization)
