Default Mystery button on dash? Not in manual!



What does this thing do? It has an LED on it, but it does not turn on when you press it. It looks like a key, and then half of a car with the hood/trunk open. It does not, in fact, open the trunk or the hood.

Thanks,
Adam

since it's a picture of a key, my best bet is that it's for unlocking the trunk.

That button is called the VALET lock out. You can push the button to activate it and then when it gets Valet parked it will be impossible for them to get in the trunk. That is as long as you use the Valet key.

Thanks again Tech. I found out that the dealership did not give me the Master key (my wife got it), which is why that button did not seem to work for me. I traded keys with my wife and the button makes a whole lot more sense now
