Default Teen Mode

I think GM jumped the gun when mentioning teen mode in the 2015 manual, but it looks to be made available in the 2016 Malibu:

Will there be a flash update for this on the 14/15 vettes?

I would hope that "teen mode" means that the car will not start, even with the FOB present.

There are numerous future Darwin Award winning heroes on here that could benefit from such a mode....

My C7 has a teen mode. It's me teaching her how to properly drive it and then letting her practice a lot! Teach them to be afraid of it and you'll have bigger problems on your hands! I, for one, have a daughter that is a sports car fan for life!

When I was a kid, a car without comfy back seats couldn't have a "teen mode".
