Congratulations! Enjoy your new ride

Yes that's all they give out now, the plastic key used to be a key where you can keep in your wallet just in case and is good for unlocking doors only. But the plastic key now replace the valet key and you can start the car with it but cannot unlock the trunk and glove box. (haven't try it yet but that's what the salesman told me)

How exactly does that work? Every time I use the 'valet' key I am able to open the trunk using the little button on the lower left side. Am I missing something or is that just the way it is?

It is true that the little valet or plastic key can be used 10 times only?

Maybe Iceman knows that for sure

Stick your Remote key (Master Key) in the trunk hole and turn it to the horizontal position and pull it back out.

P.S. I've never tried it myself tho.

Yeah, that's what my salesperson told me when I took delivery, along with hundreds of other details.
