Default Trunk won’t open from the button

Hi
My trunk opens with the button inside the car and on the key fob But if my key is in the car and I go to open it from the button on the trunk it won’t open unless I have the key in my pocket then the trunk button works is there a way to change it or turn it off so I don’t need the key on me to open the trunk from the trunk button on the back

check the glove compartment, there is a valet button on the bottom left by the hinge. Press it once and see it you can now open it with the button. Hope that helps.

If it was the override button then the dash trunk release would not work.
