Technology to Keep Your Teen Driver Safe

How Teen Driver Technology Keeps Your Teen Safe

Teaching a teenager to drive can be a nerve-wracking experience for any parent, often leading to a few extra gray hairs. When it's finally time for them to take their first solo trip, letting go can be incredibly tough. Naturally, you'll worry about their safety and whether they'll follow the rules you've drilled into them. Fortunately, Chevy's Teen Driver Technology helps you keep an eye on them, even when you're not in the passenger seat.

Teen Driver Technology Defined

Teen Driver Technology is GM's innovative response to one of the biggest concerns for parents of teenagers – their child driving without supervision. This advanced suite of safety and driver assistance features is designed to encourage safe driving habits. While it can't replace the guidance of a parent, it mimics parental strategies to gently nudge young drivers toward better behavior on the road.

What Features are Included in Teen Driver Technology

• Speed Limit Reminder: Since you can't always be there to say, "slow down," this feature steps in for you. When your teen exceeds the speed limit you've set, they'll receive an audible and visual reminder to adjust their speed.
• Buckle to Drive: GM's version of "We’re not going anywhere till you put on your seatbelt" ensures that if the driver or any passengers haven't fastened their seatbelts, the car won't shift out of park for 20 seconds, prompting everyone to buckle up.
• Driver Report Card: This feature provides detailed reports on your teen's driving habits, including distance traveled, maximum speed, stability control, and antilock brake events, forward collision alerts, and forward collision avoidance braking. It's like having a progress report for their driving skills.
• PIN Protection: Lock the safety feature settings behind a PIN code to ensure your teen can't disable or alter them.
