It's not always what's behind your screen that's valuable. Valet mode keeps all contact/smart phone info secure and locks the glove box also.

In our Lexus, when the "smart phone" isn't present - there isn't any contact info. Is Chevy different? Didn't know it locks the glove box, too. Good to know. Thanks.

From owners manual 4-2, storage

To open, press the button.
If equipped, the glove box locks
when Valet Mode is enabled. See
Vehicle Personalization on
page 5-41.

From owners manual 5-42 Instruments and controls

Valet Mode
This will lock the infotainment
system, the infotainment controls,
and screen storage location.

I don't let Valet's drive rental vehicle's when I'm on business trips.

Yep, sure does lock the glove box. Still, if you park the vehicle and leave personal belongings - top down - there's no apparent way to secure the glove box or hidden compartment unless you enter the lock codes. I'm thinking it would be nice if one could lock either or both without locking out all the other features. Given that - at least based on the thread's comments - no one would ever let a Valet touch their Corvette - maybe the software could be reworked somehow. Just a suggestion.
