Safety matters no matter who’s behind the wheel. If the driver happens to be your teenager, it’s understandable that you might want to take some extra precautions to help them learn the essentials of safe driving. If you have a new driver who’s still learning the rules of the road, the Teen Driver Technology on our new Chevrolet models can help them leave the driveway with added awareness and safety.
What It Is: Teen Driver Technology is a bundle of tech tools designed to monitor your teenager’s driving performance, help you gauge their progress, and help them develop safe driving habits. It uses alerts and reminders whenever it detects they might be overlooking fundamental driver safety.
What It Isn’t: Teen Driver is not meant to replace in-person driving instruction or hands-on experience. The tech tools don’t take control from the driver at any point – they simply act as extra provisions to help your teenager learn to drive safely.
Take a look at how Teen Driver Technology can help your young driver remember essential road safety:
Speed Alerts: This feature lets you set a maximum speed limit for your teen. If they accelerate past this limit, they will be alerted, and you can later see a report of how fast they are going.
Volume Limit: If you’re concerned about your learning driver getting distracted by loud audio, you can set a volume limit for the radio’s sound.
Seatbelt Audio Mute: The seatbelt is an essential safety tool, and this feature is designed to remind your teen to buckle up each time they hop behind the wheel. It will mute the onboard audio volume until it detects that the driver has fastened their seatbelt.
Driving Report Card: Teen Driver Technology can make a record of your teenager’s driving performance and give you insight into their behavior via this report card. When you check-in, you’ll see info about their speed, braking, and how often they triggered the vehicle’s other safety systems.
Teen Driver Technology is available on a wide range of Chevrolet models, so whether you’re looking for an SUV, truck, or car, you can hand over the keys knowing that there are systems in place to help your young driver stay safe. Here are a few of the Teen Driver features available in the Chevrolet lineup:
Buckle to Drive: This tool prevents your vehicle from shifting out of park for up to 20 seconds if it detects that your driver’s seatbelt isn’t fastened.
Anti-Tailgating Alerts: If your teen driver is following another car too closely, this system will alert them to ease back and allow for a greater following distance.
Distance Driven: This feature keeps track of how far your teenager has driven the vehicle, allowing you to see if there were any unexpected detours.
