2001 cadillac deville what does or the valet key do?

On a 2001 Cadillac DeVille, the valet key (sometimes called a "restricted key") is a separate key that only allows access to some of the car's functions. Specifically, it typically:

* Limits access to the trunk: The valet key won't unlock the trunk.

* May limit access to the glove compartment: Depending on the specific model and whether any additional security options were added, the valet key may or may not open the glove box.

* Allows starting the car: The primary function is to allow someone else to drive the car (like a valet) without giving them full access to everything inside.

It *does not* provide access to the radio presets, personal settings, or other personalized information stored in the car's memory. The intention is to provide limited access for security reasons.
