Have you tried unlocking the car with the remote?

Hi,

Try putting the black key in the ignition and turn on. This should cancel the valet mode and enable you to open the trunk in the normal way.

If it works, keep your mother away from the valet button.

Hope this helps.

Same problem (no, not a mother-in-law!). I myself pushed the valet button, & every since the trunk buttons do not work. I can only unlock with the key. Nothing I've tried works...any weird suggestions?
