HOW TO SET UP TEEN DRIVER
1. Start by setting up the key fob. You can set up any vehicle key fob as the Teen Driver-designated key fob. Once complete, the Teen Driver features will activate whenever your teen uses that key fob. To begin, register the key fob as the Teen Driver key:
a. While in PARK, navigate to the Settings menu on your
b. Create a four-digit PIN number. This will prevent the teen from changing settings or deleting any data.
c. Depending on your infotainment system, select either “Key Registration” or “Setup Keys,” and follow the on-screen prompts. If equipped with Keyless Open and Start, the key fob must be placed in the designated pocket to register the key. See the “Remote Key Operation” section of your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for pocket location.
2. Next, you can configure these settings if equipped:
a. Audio Volume Limit: Set a volume limit for the radio or streaming device paired with the vehicle.
b. Speed Warning: Set a speed warning between 40 mph and 75 mph, which will give your teen a warning on the Driver Information Center (DIC) and an audible chime.
c. Speed Limiter: Set a maximum speed limit on the vehicle of 85 mph. Additionally, on certain vehicles, when the Speed Limiter is turned on, the vehicle’s maximum acceleration will be limited. The DIC will display a message that the acceleration is limited.
d. Buckle to Drive: Turn ON to prevent the teen from shifting out of PARK for 20 seconds after the brake pedal is pressed if they, or, on some vehicles, the detected passenger, have not buckled their seat belt.
e. On some vehicles, Buckle to Drive is always ON when Teen Driver is active and is not configurable.
f. SiriusXM® Station Filter: Doesn’t allow the teen to listen to explicit content on the vehicle’s SiriusXM
MORE ABOUT TEEN DRIVER
- The radio or paired streaming device will stay muted until the detected front occupants buckle their seat belts.
- An object placed on the front passenger seat, such as a briefcase, handbag, grocery bag, laptop or other electronic device, could cause the passenger-sensing system to falsely sense an unbuckled front passenger and mute the radio. If this happens, remove the object from the seat.
- When the vehicle is low on fuel, the low fuel light on the instrument cluster flashes and the low fuel warning message cannot be dismissed.
- Certain activity safety systems the vehicle is equipped with are always on when Teen Driver is in use.
- The gap setting for Adaptive Cruise Control and alert timing for Forward Collision Alert, if equipped, cannot be changed.
- If you have Keyless Open and Start in your vehicle, the Teen Driver settings won’t work if both the Teen Driver key fob and the regular key fob are in the vehicle when it starts. It will only recognize the non-Teen Driver key.
