Default Hit the trunk release button and...

got a message that said "Valet Mode" on the cluster and the trunk didnt open

Here's the button I hit (sorry for the craptastic cell phone quality):



so does this mean the car is in valet mode or is there something else wrong with the car? I've never had a car that had valet mode so I dont know what to look for. I figured it would just have restricted performance which it doesnt seem to.

You need to unlock the boot with either the black key or the remote to cancel valet mode.
