Chevrolet Will Be Offering Teen Driver Technology in 10 Models for 2017

OKEMOS, Mich. –– In 2016, Chevrolet included a new safety feature in the 2016 Malibu. The safety feature was called Teen Driver and it helped families with young drivers be more comfortable with their teenager behind the wheel. The reaction to the customized feature was so well received that Chevrolet will be offering Teen Driver Technology in 10 models for 2017. Additionally, Teen Driver will include more features than before with advanced safety alerts, driver report cars, and more! Continue reading for a closer look into the Teen Driver Technology and how you can get a hands-on experience at Graff Chevrolet Okemos.

The Teen Driver technology enables special safety technologies the moment it is activated. While your teen is behind the wheel, your Chevy will incorporate automatic alerts and features like Forward and Rear Automatic breaking, Lane Keep Assist, Front Pedestrian Braking, Rear Cross Traffic, Side Blind Zone Alert, and more, all of which the teen is unable to disable. Additional to the activated safety features and alerts, the Teen Driver technology provides parents a driving report card when the teen has completed their trip. The report card includes information on the teen's driving habits including:

• Distance driven
• Overspeed warnings issued
• Stability control or antilock braking events
• Maximum speed reached
• Wide-open throttle events
• Traction control activations
• If equipped: Forward collision braking events and tailgating alerts
