Valet switch in the glove box. This disables the electric trunk release.

So you can lock something in your trunk. like a notebook or IPad - and have some sense that it can't be accessed by the Valet. If you lock your glove box with the metal insert key, and put the metal key in your pocket before you hand the fob to the Valet, then your trunk is secure.
