Going south the American's have a digital readout that shows how many times your card had been read. Hold it out the window about 6 inches from the reader and the number will change, don't roll through. Also don't put it away right after its done reading, sometimes the guard may want to look at your card, other times not(especially in regular lanes).
On the way back North the Canadian's do not have a digital readout so just hold it up to the white square for a couple of seconds and move forward, if it doesn't read there is another white plate at the booth and the guard may ask you to try again(they should tell you if it didn't read).
But for both you do need to stick your arm out and put the card in front of the readers.
