    Chevrolet's new Buckle to Drive feature, available on some 2020 models, is set when the vehicle is in Teen Driver mode.

    Know a young driver who's ignoring your pleas to buckle up? Chevrolet suggests you might try to see if they'll listen to a different authority figure: their car.

    The automaker is introducing a feature, specifically for teen drivers, that will temporarily block the auto from shifting into gear if their seat belt isn't buckled. A message will alert the driver to buckle their seat belt in order to shift into gear.
