Teen driver mode?

What exactly does it do, and…how does it affect a custom tune?

My general thoughts on this would be ‘hell no, there’s no way you’ll be driving my ZLE when you are a teen!!’

When I was a teenager, I’d have been upside down in a tree before I made it out of the driveway in this car

That mode is for when you go on holidays and your kids find the spare key!

It’s the mode I put the car in when I give it to the dealer (or anyone) for any reason. Got the car back in Sport mode when I know I left it in Tour more than a few times so trust is lost

Reviving this thread because I have the same concerns. My SS needs to go in for warranty work on the driver's side window seal. Service manager told me he will personally drive it to the body shop from the dealer, but I don't trust anyone.


It sounds like you can set a speed limit of up to 85 mph with this teen driver mode. I'd like to keep it closer to 55, but that's just me. Can anyone confirm that a custom speed limit is possible with this? I might experiment with it this weekend as I'm not bringing the car in until next week.

Unfortunately you can not chose the speed limit.
Only way would be to load up a changed tune before.
In general I'd highly recommend to programm and make use of the temperature based cutoff. So with cold engine oil the revs are limited.
There is a whole table for it and can be fully customized.
Requires HPTuners and any Tuner or a friend who shares.

Thank you for the info and suggestions! I don't have a tuner but will look into it.
