Chevrolet Teen Driver Technology in Florida Chevys

Handing the keys to a new driver is a significant moment for any parent in Florida. Chevrolet developed Teen Driver technology to help parents coach their new drivers even when they cannot be in the passenger seat. This built-in system offers a suite of customizable features designed to encourage safe driving habits from day one.


How Teen Driver Works

Teen Driver is a built-in system integrated directly into the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 display. It is not a subscription service and does not require an app. Parents create a four-digit PIN in the settings menu to register a specific key fob. When the teen uses that registered key to start the vehicle, the system automatically activates the selected safety settings and limits.

Key Safety Features

The system allows parents to configure specific parameters to ensure their teen drives responsibly on I-95 or local surface streets.

  • Buckle to Drive:

    This industry-first feature prevents the driver from shifting the vehicle out of Park for up to 20 seconds if the driver's seat belt is not fastened.
  • Volume Limit:

    Parents can set a maximum volume limit for the radio or media to prevent distractions.
  • Audio Muting:

    The audio system remains muted until the front seat occupants buckle their seat belts.
  • Speed Limiter:

    Parents can restrict the maximum speed of the vehicle to 85 mph.
  • Speed Warning

    You can select a speed between 40 and 75 mph. If the teen exceeds this speed, a visual warning appears on the Driver Information Center, and an audible chime sounds.

The In-Vehicle Report Card

One of the most valuable tools for coaching is the in-vehicle Report Card. This data log tracks driving performance and allows parents to review it with their teen to identify areas for improvement. The Report Card is password-protected and displays:

  • Total distance driven.n
  • Maximum speed reached.
  • Overspeed warnings issued.
  • Wide-open throttle events.
  • Forward Collision Alerts (if equipped).
  • Automatic Emergency Braking events (if equipped).
  • Traction Control and Antilock Braking System activations.

Teen Driver technology is standard equipment on the vast majority of the current Chevrolet lineup. You can find this safety feature on these popular models at Gordon Chevrolet:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can the teen driver turn off the system?

No. The system settings are protected by the four-digit PIN created by the parent. The teen cannot alter the settings or view the Report Card without this PIN.

Does Teen Driver prevent the vehicle from driving?

No. The system restricts certain behaviors, such as speeding or playing loud music, but it does not disable the vehicle. The Buckle to Drive feature only delays shifting out of Park for a brief period.

Is this a subscription service?

Teen Driver is a standard, built-in feature on equipped Chevrolet vehicles and does not require OnStar or a monthly data plan to function.
