Keeping Your Teen Safe on the Roads with Chevy's Teen Driver Technology

As a parent, your teenager's safety is always top of mind, especially when they start driving. At Universal Chevrolet Company in Wendell, NC, we understand your concerns and want to introduce you to Chevy's innovative Teen Driver Technology.

Teen Driver is a built-in system designed to help you coach your new driver, even when you're not in the car with them. If you're a parent in Raleigh, this technology can give you peace of mind knowing that your kids are developing safe driving habits.

Set Limits and Receive Alerts

With Teen Driver Technology, you can set a maximum speed limit and audio volume limit for the car. If your teenager exceeds these limits, you'll receive a notification. This feature is especially useful if your teen frequently drives through college towns like Wake Forest, where adhering to speed limits is crucial for everyone's safety.

Additionally, Teen Driver will alert you if your teen engages in risky behaviors like hard braking or if they venture outside of a preset geographical boundary. For parents in Garner, this means you can ensure your child stays within a safe driving radius.

PIN-Protected Settings

To prevent your teenager from bypassing these settings, Teen Driver requires a PIN to access and change them. This lets you, the parent, ensure that the Teen Driver settings remain in place.

Encouraging Seat Belt Use

Teen Driver Technology also includes the industry-first Buckle to Drive feature. If your child tries to shift out of park without buckling their seat belt, the system will prevent the car from shifting for 20 seconds and provide audible and visual alerts. This feature helps instill the importance of wearing a seat belt every time they get behind the wheel before a drive around Clayton.

Driving Report Card

One of the most valuable aspects of Teen Driver Technology is the in-vehicle report card. It provides information about your teen's driving, including distance driven, maximum speed reached, stability control events, antilock brake events, and more. Use these insights to identify areas for improvement and coach your child to become a safer driver.
