Teen Driver Technology Keeps Your Teen Safe

The challenge of teaching a teenager the rules of the road might be enough to give parents a few extra strands of gray hair. Still, when it’s time for them to take their first solo trip, it’s hard to let them go. Worrying about their safety and how well they’ll adhere to the guidelines you’ve given them is natural. Luckily, even when you’re not in the driver’s seat, you can keep the training wheels on with Chevy’s Teen Driver Technology.

Teen Driver Technology Defined

Teen Driver Technology is GMs answer to one of the number one concerns of people parenting teenagers – their child driving without parental supervision. It’s a suite of advanced safety and driver assistance features that are designed to promote safe driving habits. While none of the features could ever replace the guidance of a parental figure, it can mimic the tactics and strategies that parents take to nudge their young drivers in the right direction.

What Features are Included in Teen Driver Technology

• Speed Limit Reminder: Since you can’t always be in the passenger seat to say “slow down,” this feature will do it for you. When your child exceeds the speed limit you’ve set for them, they’ll get an audible and visual reminder to adjust their speed.
• Buckle to Drive: This feature is GM’s version of “We’re not going anywhere till you put on your seatbelt.” If the driver or any passengers haven’t fastened their seatbelts, buckle-to-drive will notify your teen and stop the car from shifting out of park for 20 seconds.
• Driver Report Card: GM’s advanced technology empowers parents to monitor their teen’s driving habits with comprehensive reports on various critical parameters such as distance traveled, maximum speed reached, stability control and antilock brake events, forward collision alerts, and forward collision avoidance braking.
• PIN Protection: This feature allows you to lock the safety feature setting behind a PIN code.
