1) An all-new Teen Driver feature allows parents to view their kids’ driving statistics. Teen Driver supports safe-driving habits by muting the audio or any device paired with the vehicle when front-seat occupants aren’t wearing their safety belts. Teen Driver also provides audible and visual warnings when the vehicle is traveling over predetermined speeds. The system includes a built-in component that lets parents view on a display how their teenager drove the vehicle. Maximum speed reached, distance driven, and number of times active safety features were engaged are among the parameters that can be confirmed.
