Teen Driver Technology: Protecting Young Drivers

Teen Driver Technology: What It Is, What It Isn’t

If there’s a teenager in your family who’s preparing to hit the road for the first time, it makes sense to equip them with the tools they need to stay safe. Safe driving should always be their top priority, and now Chevrolet models are available with a suite of tech tools to help your young driver learn smart driving habits. Take a look at what Teen Driver Technology can do.

What It Is:

Teen Driver Technology is a selection of tech tools designed to prepare young drivers for a lifetime of responsible driving. It does this by monitoring their driving, and helping them learn proper road safety with alerts and reminders.

What It Isn’t:

Bear in mind that Teen Driver technology does not take control of the vehicle in emergencies, and it is not designed to replace on-road experience or responsible driving instruction.

Teen Driver Features and How They Protect Your Young Driver

These are a few of the tech tools available in the Teen Driver suite:

Seatbelt Audio Mute: When this feature is active, the vehicle’s entertainment system audio will remain muted until the driver has fastened their seatbelt.

Speed Alerts: This tool lets you program a speed limit for your teen driver. If the driver exceeds that limit, they will be alerted to slow down, and you will be notified as well.

Volume Limit: To keep onboard distractions to a minimum, this tool allows you to program a limit for how loud the audio can be.

Driving Report Card: Teen Drivers can keep a record of your young driver’s braking, speed, and even how often they cause safety features to activate.

Teen Driver Features for Chevrolet Models

Anti-Tailgating Alerts: If Teen Driver senses that your teen’s vehicle is tailgating another vehicle, it will trigger an alert to prompt them to follow at a greater distance.

Distance Driven: This shows you how far the vehicle has been driven.

Buckle to Drive: If this tool senses that the driver’s seatbelt is not fastened, it will not let the vehicle shift out of park for up to 20 seconds as a reminder.
