Page 20 and 21 of that owners manual explains it. Basically, when you leave the car for valet parking, you can lock the glove compartment and trunk with the main key. Then leave the valet key to the parking attendant. Then the parking attendant can't unlock the glove compartment and trunk with the valet key.
