What Is Chevy Teen Driver Technology?
When your teen gets their driver’s license in High Point, it is both an exciting and nerve-racking time as a parent. You’ve spent the past year in the passenger’s seat, helping your teen learn the rules of the road and how to follow safe driving practices. Now, you’ll be sending them off on their own! Always on the front lines of vehicle safety, Chevrolet aims to provide greater peace of mind when you reach this milestone with the innovative Teen Driver technology. Learn how a new Chevrolet vehicle allows you to set audio controls, view an in-vehicle report card, and so much more through Teen Driver technology, below.
TEEN DRIVER TECHNOLOGY: STANDARD & AVAILABLE FEATURES
Teen Driver technology is a Chevrolet-exclusive safety feature that comes standard or available across the complete lineup of cars, trucks, and SUVs. Here’s an overview of the standard features that come with Teen Driver technology:
- Audio Limit: Driving around Greensboro listening to your favorite music is undoubtedly fun, but it can also create a distraction. You can help to prevent this distraction by setting an audio limit on music volume.
- Seat Belt Audio Mute: Until both the driver and front passenger have properly buckled themselves in, this feature will keep the audio muted.
- Speed Limiter: This feature restricts the maximum speed to 85 mph.
- Speed Warning: When you enable this feature before your teen heads out on Winston-Salem roads, you can rest assured that an audible and visual warning will trigger every time the vehicle exceeds a speed limit that is pre-set by you.
The above features are standard on every Teen Driver technology system, but there are a couple additional features you can tack on at an additional cost for even more assurance of your teen driver’s safety:
- Industry-First In-Vehicle Report Card: A highly innovative feature never before seen in the industry, the In-Vehicle Report Card is accessible by Winston-Salem parents when their teen driver returns home. You can view details from your teen’s trip to see how they drove and when certain safety features were automatically enabled, creating an opportunity to coach them on safer driving practices.
- Industry-First Buckle to Drive: This feature requires the driver to buckle themselves in before they’re able to shift out of Park and head out on High Point roads. Until they buckle, the gear shift will be locked in the Park position for 20 seconds. The driver will also receive an audible and visual warning that they need to buckle in.
