Teen Driver Technology in Michigan Chevrolets

Michigan families trust Gordon Chevrolet to provide the tools necessary for teaching new drivers safe habits. Chevrolet Teen Driver technology functions as a digital passenger that monitors performance when you are not in the vehicle. This integrated system uses specific settings to promote better decision making on the road.


How Teen Driver Works

This technology exists within the Chevrolet Infotainment 3 interface. You do not pay a monthly fee or use an external app to access these tools. Start by choosing a four digit PIN in the settings menu to pair a specific key fob. The car identifies that registered key upon ignition and immediately applies your chosen restrictions.

Key Safety Features

You can adjust specific variables to ensure your student drives with caution on local Michigan roads or highways.

  • Buckle to Drive:

    The vehicle remains in Park for 20 seconds if the driver does not use their seat belt. This delay forces the driver to secure their harness before the transmission engages.
  • Speed Warning:

    Select a threshold between 40 and 75 mph. If the car exceeds your chosen limit, the dashboard shows a visual alert and plays a chime.
  • Audio Muting:

    The sound system produces no noise until the driver and front passenger fasten their seat belts. This ensures the car remains silent until all occupants meet safety requirements.
  • Speed Limiter:

    Capping the top speed at 85 mph prevents the driver from traveling faster than that set point.
  • Volume Limit:

    Choose a maximum output level for the speakers. This prevents loud music from becoming a distraction or blocking out exterior sounds.

The In-Vehicle Report Card

The digital Report Card serves as a teaching tool by logging performance data for later review. You use your secret PIN to access this menu and see exactly how the vehicle was operated. The log includes:

  • Total miles traveled.
  • Top speed achieved.
  • Number of overspeed alerts.
  • Instances of wide open throttle.
  • Forward Collision Alerts if the model has that hardware.
  • Automatic Emergency Braking activations if the model has that hardware.
  • Times the Traction Control or Antilock Braking Systems engaged.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can the teen driver turn off the system?

No, your four digit PIN locks the settings. The driver cannot change your limits or delete the Report Card without that code.

Does Teen Driver prevent the vehicle from driving?

No, the system manages behaviors like speed and audio volume, but the car remains operable. The Buckle to Drive feature only creates a short pause before shifting.

Is this a subscription service?

No, this is a permanent hardware feature. You do not need an OnStar plan or a data subscription to use it.
