- Select Teen Driver Settings on the menu. Here, you can customize a variety of settings including:
- Speed Warning Limit: Set a speed limit that, when exceeded, triggers a visual and audible warning.
- Volume Limit: Set a maximum volume limit for the audio system, so it cannot be turned up too loudly.
- Seat Belt Audio Mute: Enable this setting to mute the audio system until the driver and front passenger seat belts are fastened.
