Keep Your New Drivers Safe With Chevrolet

Your kids are growing up quickly, and before you know it, they will be learning how to drive. How do you ensure they stay safe when you’re not there to remind them? Let’s take a look at the safety features Chevrolet offers with its Teen Driver Technology!

Buckle Up

A safety issue that is common with teen drivers is not wearing a seatbelt. With Chevrolet, there are audible and visual alerts in place to remind them. If the driver isn’t buckled, they won’t be able to shift out of park for 20 seconds.

When teenagers are driving with other teens, they are even less likely to buckle up. Studies have shown that only 43.1 percent of high school students reported wearing a seat belt when riding with someone else. To help prevent this, if the driver and passenger aren’t wearing their seat belts, the car audio will automatically mute.

Prevent Speeding

Most parents worry about their teen speeding, not only because it is a safety risk, but it can also lead to expensive speeding tickets. With Chevy, you can add personalized reminders for your teen to keep under a maximum speed. Select the speed you want them to watch out for, and it will give them a visual and audible warning whenever they go over it.

You can further protect them by applying the speed limiter setting. When this feature is on, the vehicle will not be able to go over 85 miles per hour.

Keep Audio Down

Loud music can be very distracting when driving, especially for new drivers. 93 percent of teens have reported playing loud music. This is easy to prevent with the audio limit setting. It allows you to select a maximum volume to keep the music quiet and non-distracting.

Easy To Set Up

The best part of Teen Driver technology is that it is easy to set up! Just go into your Chevrolet Infotainment system, enter your PIN, and register a key. Now, whenever that key is used, your vehicle will automatically apply all of your set features.

Safe Habits

It’s important to teach new drivers good habits early on so they stay safe on the road. Teenage drivers are much more likely to make poor driving decisions that can lead to injury or accidents. Chevrolet is the only company that offers Teen Driver technology designed to help them practice what you teach.

It also offers peace of mind with an in-vehicle report card that shows you information like maximum speed, warnings they received, and any accidents. Knowing their driving habits will lead to better teaching in the long run!
